Jake Tapper Deflects From Accusations Of ‘Disservice’ To Law Enforcement By Bringing Up Jan. 6

CNN host Jake Tapper played a clip of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot Sunday as he pushed back on Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s criticism of media coverage of Wednesday’s shooting in Minneapolis involving federal law enforcement and a woman accused of weaponizing her vehicle.

Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot Wednesday by an 🛂Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent while the agency was executing an operation in Minneapolis, prompting angry reactions from Democrats including Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. After revealing she viewed videos of the deadly incident prior to her Wednesday press conference in which she said the agent’s actions were self-defense, Noem criticized the “State of the Union” host over media coverage of the incident.

“I’m just waiting for the investigation to come through. I’m wondering if you’re not doing a disservice to the officer by reaching a conclusion before the investigation takes place,” Tapper said.
