WATCH: “YOU’RE A LEFT-WING HACK” – Karoline Leavitt UNLOADS on Reporter for Accusing ICE Agent of “Recklessly” and “Unjustifiably” Killing Renee Good
Gateway Pundit ^ | January 16, 2026 | Jordan Conradson

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday delivered an epic rebuke of a leftist reporter after he accused an ICE agent of “recklessly” and “unjustifiably” killing crazed leftist Renee Good when she tried to run the agent over with her vehicle.

Good was fatally shot last week by an ICE agent in self-defense, sparking outrage in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when she tried to kill an ICE agent. This sparked nationwide outrage from left-wingers and rioting in Minnesota.

President Trump has threatened to invoke the insurrection act, stating on Thursday, “If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State.”

However, the leftist reporter in the White House on Thursday attempted to justify the ensuing violence following Good’s attempt to murder a federal agent by claiming the agent “acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably.”

This prompted Leavitt to go off, calling him out for showing his extreme bias and refusing to acknowledge the truth about illegal aliens or the insane leftists assaulting law enforcement.

“You’re a left-wing hack, you’re not a reporter, you’re posing in this room as a journalist, and it’s so clear by the premise of your question,” Leavitt said.

“You and the people in the media, who have such biases but fake like you’re a journalist, you shouldn’t even be sitting in that seat, but you’re pretending that you’re a journalist, but you’re a left-wing activist.”

After noting that countless American citizens have been murdered by “heinous” criminal illegal aliens, she continued, “Shame on people like you in the media who have a crooked view and have a biased view and pretend like you’re a real, honest journalist.”

WATCH:

Reporter: 32 people died in ICE custody last year, 170 US citizens were detained by ICE, and Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE agent. How does that equate to them doing everything correctly?

Leavitt: Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?

Reporter: Are you asking me my opinion? Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably.

Leavitt: Okay, so you’re a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion—

Reporter: What do you want me to do?

Leavitt: Yeah, because you’re a left-wing hack, you’re not a reporter, you’re posing in this room as a journalist, and it’s so clear by the premise of your question. And you and the people in the media, who have such biases but fake like you’re a journalist, you shouldn’t even be sitting in that seat, but you’re pretending that you’re a journalist, but you’re a left-wing activist. And the question that you just raised and your answer proves your bias. You should be reporting on the facts. You should read reporting on the cases.

Do you have the numbers of how many American citizens were killed at the hands of illegal aliens who ICE is trying to remove from this country? I bet you don’t. I bet you didn’t even read up on those stories. I bet you never even read about Laken Riley, or Jocelyn Nungary, or all of the innocent Americans who were killed at the hands of illegal aliens in this country. And the brave men and women of ICE are doing everything in their power to remove those heinous individuals and make our communities safer. And shame on people like you in the media who have a crooked view and have a biased view and pretend like you’re a real, honest journalist.

“SHAME ON YOU” - Karoline Leavitt UNLOADS on Reporter Claiming ICE Agent "Recklessly" Killed Woman

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on Renee Good’s effort to kill an ICE agent with her vehicle and her death.

In addition to other footage exonerating the agent, recently unveiled cell phone footage from the scene shows Good accelerating her vehicle as her wife cheered her on, shouting, “Drive, baby! Drive!”

Better put a suicide watch on the Left Wing Hack. Those people have lots of mental issues. Lots of mental issues.

That reporter was a Brit, probably from the BBC. You Tube is loaded with videos from the UK. The place is a mess. It’s turned into some dystopian nightmare.

And they’re begging us for help- again.

That “reporter” should be banned from the White House and thrown out of the US.

She is being played. Wasting her time. Outside the room they high five each other.

If a bogus premise is stated she should just say “suspended, security escort the fool out”.

Then, “next question”.

Niall Stanage, White House columnist for The Hill.

Wikipedia says this of The Hill (which is a knee slapping lie):

Its stated mission is "nonpartisan reporting on the inner workings of government and the nexus of politics and business," and other sources have confirmed its reputation as a nonpartisan news organization.

Pure, unadulterated BS.

The Hill was started by Leftists from the New York Times which wasn't leftist enough for them.

Amazing how reporters fail to report on the specific idiocy of specific fellow reporters. They are shameless.

The Lefty protester M. O. is to blow whistles in neighborhoods where illegal aliens are living/hanging out to warn them ICE is coming.
Get your whistle! Go wherever you see illegals! A local is doing this and they run away..
Within a week the lefties whistles will be useless!
Just do it!🇺🇲🏃🔊

"Reporter: How does that equate to them [the ICE agents] doing everything correctly?"

It doesn't. I'm pro-enforcement of immigration laws, but whether the shooting was justified or not, the agent's taking up a vulnerable position in front of a suspect's vehicle was not doing everything correctly. Common sense should tell us that. Also the videos don't indicate that Good "tried to kill an ICE agent" as Gateway Pundit and lots of people high and low have claimed. They show her turning sharply in front of him, recklessly yes, but if she'd aimed the center of her hood right at him, he wouldn't have just been bumped by the corner of the vehicle, not even knocking him off his feet.

The shooting itself happened too late to serve as defense. All it did is punish a reckless offender by imposing the death penalty, leaving the vehicle out of control and a danger to anyone farther down the road. Also, though taken with little time to think, the two shots through the side window were definitely not in self defense. Justice Department policy in that situation is to move out of the path of the vehicle without shooting -- Department of Justice Policy On Use Of Force

Most reporters are in fact leftwing hacks, but about this incident they have much of the truth on their side. I find it embarrassing to see what many persons on the right are saying about it. These blatant misrepresentations are hurting the cause of immigration law enforcement and could damage the prospects of Republicans in upcoming elections. The videos are there to be seen, and lots of people are going to believe what they see rather than what they are told to see.

She is a blessing. These “reporters” know by now what kind of a response they’ll get when asking stupid questions. It’s a badge of honor to be called a left wing hack by Leavitt for these idiots

I can’t believe your take on this incident.
The officer was struck hard enough to have internal bleeding. What if he had slipped. She would have run him over.
It’s not OK to postulate he could have escaped etc. Truth is he didn’t. She was accelerating when he shot. Clear self defense. Clear FAFO.
I hope the activists who think it is fun and virtuous to obstruct, assault, incite murder and to dox officers & families, wise up otherwise more and more of them will suffer the effects of their actions and I won’t shed a tear.
Protest does not include obstructing officers of the law, loal, state or federal or blocking traffic including emergency vehicles. The pass being given to disruptive behvior has emboldened & promoted lawlessnessa

While u raise some interesting points, like all “issues” there is a “lowest common denominator”. That “lowest common denominator” millions of us think is “FAFO”. To wit: 1. She intentionally was disobeying lawful orders from the police. 2. She is the one that stomped on the gas. 3. Her car that she was in control of did strike the ICE officer. 4. She is the one that put herself in that position. 5. The “FAFO” principal got her killed.

It is WAY past time for the left to be repaid in kind.

Find out where these idiots live, vandilize their residences, throw stuff at them, follow them everywhere and harass them and give them no rest.

Let the justice system take care of them, each and every one. What needs to be done is to hold the municipalities and prosecutors accountable for upholding law & order & for dispensing swift and equal justice without distortion by political agenda or favor. That will take citizen involvement and in many cases commitment to informed voting.
