Trump calls Renee Good ‘professional agitator’, but offers no evidence
Trump has labeled Good as a “professional agitator.” He, however, did not offer any supporting evidence for this assertion.
Meanwhile, Homeland Security adviser Stephen Miller has claimed that the Democratic Party has engaged in actions to “support and orchestrate violent resistance against federal law enforcement.” But he too did not furnish any information to substantiate that claim. While investigators were still examining the incident site after the tragedy, the administration called Good a “domestic terrorist.”
Meanwhile, anonymous federal sources informed Fox News that Good, who had recently relocated to Minneapolis, was affiliated with a neighborhood watch-style group known as “ICE Watch,” which aims to keep an eye on immigration operations and disrupt them.
