Donald Trump railed against Renee Good, the queer Minnesota mom who was shot to death by an ICE agent last week through the side window of her car while her wife sat in the passenger seat. Trump referred to Good’s wife, Becca Good, as Renee Good’s “friend” and said that they were both “highly disrespectful of law enforcement.”

Cellphone footage released on Friday showed an ICE agent, identified as Jonathan Ross, approaching the Goods’ SUV in a snowy residential neighborhood. In the video, Renee Good can be heard telling the agent, “That’s fine, dude, I’m not mad,” though it’s not clear exactly what she’s referring to. Becca Good is standing behind the car, taunting Ross, and then she enters as Renee Good drives away with Ross shouting, “Get out of the f**king car.”

The video does not show whether the Goods’ car came into contact with Ross. Three shots can be heard as Ross is next to the driver’s side door.

“F**king b**ch,” Ross says, and then the sound of the car crashing can be heard.

A reporter asked Trump about the shooting on Air Force One this weekend. Trump had already posted on Truth Social, calling Renee Good “very disorderly” and saying that she “viciously ran over the ICE Officer,” which contradicts multiple videos shot of the interaction that show that the officer was only “slightly brushed by the slowly moving car,” according to The Guardian.

“It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement,” Trump responded. “The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement. You saw that!”

“They were harassing, they were following for days and for hours, and I think frankly, they were professional agitators. And I’d like to find out- We are going to find out who’s paying for it, with their brand-new signs and all their [inaudible],” Trump said.

Trump often claims that liberal protestors are “professional agitators” to discredit them, not as a statement of fact. There is no reason to believe that the Goods were paid for anything related to what happened in the video.

“But these are professional agitators, and law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff, what that woman and what her friend and what their other friends were doing to law enforcement, not just ICE, law enforcement is outrageous,” Trump said.

Trump referred to Becca Good as Renee Good’s “friend,” which is a common way for anti-LGBTQ+ people to diminish queer relationships. Trump was an outspoken opponent of marriage equality in the past and has never said that he supports allowing same-sex couples to marry.
