Renee Good's last words
Renee Good can be heard saying in the video, “I’m not mad at you.” The clip has been shared by many, including the Homeland Security Committee Democrats, who wrote “PROOF RENÉE GOOD WAS TURNING THE WHEEL AWAY…And ICE still chose to kill her. Shame on everyone who smeared this mother.”
Another person shared her last words, and added “20 seconds later she was bleeding out next to her kids stuffed animals while ICE called her a 'f**king b*tch.' There is evil in this world. We saw it from ICE on Wednesday.”
Yet another added, "She wasn't radical, she wasn't offending him, she didn't resist, she just said "that's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you." And gets killed for it."
The Donald Trump administration and MAGA loyalists have used the recent video to try and make the point that Good was trying to hit the ICE agent with her car. Meanwhile, those on the opposing side have tried to make the case that Good was not antagonizing the ICE agent but was still shot.
