It seems painfully obvious that the ICESTAPO are the ones that are instigating the violence.
Yet the democratic "leaders?" are not out screaming this narrative. WHY?
instead all the reporting is what the lying regime is spouting.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

THIS. Anyone who let this shit happen and still hollers about how proud they are that they did (because let's be real, they pretty much all still do) has no morals, no common sense, and no access to the privilege of me caring WTAF they think about anything.
I can only speak for myself, but I’ve heard almost NO ONE who chose to not vote for Harris actually admit that they should have.
If they can’t at a bare minimum admit that, why should I listen to them about ANYTHING else?
It was the easiest & most obvious thing to do and they failed to do it.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.
Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

ICE isn’t making rare mistakes. This is the point.
When an agency can grab people first and sort out rights later, if they bother at all, everyone is at risk. Citizen or not.
