Jake Tapper Battles Kristi Noem in Heated Interview on ICE Shooting: Is Agent Ross ‘Calling Renee Good a F*cking B*tch?!’
Jake Tapper grilled DHS Secretary Kristi Noem about the Minneapolis ICE shooting in a lengthy, tense battle on CNN Sunday.

As part of a 23-minute showdown during Sunday’s edition of CNN’s State of the Union, Tapper called out the initial comments on the shooting by DHS — for which Noem has come under criticism.

“The shooting, we should note, was Wednesday at 10:37 a.m. eastern,” Tapper said. “Just over two hours later, the Department of Homeland Security put out a statement definitively asserting what had happened, defending the ICE agent, accusing Renee Good of domestic terrorism. That’s a characterization that you reiterated in a press conference half an hour later. Now, Republican Senator Thom Tillis said, ‘it was very unusual to have a senior law enforcement official to draw a conclusion about an event where the scene was still being processed. Generally speaking, law enforcement would recognize that a life was lost, that families are changed forever, the shooter’s life will change forever, we’re collecting video, we are trying to assess the situation.’ Why did you not wait for an investigation before making your comments?”
