Trump on Renee Good: “I Bet You That She, Under Normal Circumstances, Was A Very Solid, Wonderful Person”

In an interview with “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil in Minneapolis on Tuesday, President Donald Trump reacts to the death of Renee Good in an ICE-involved shooting and the fact that her father was a “big supporter” of his.

TONY DOKOUPIL, ‘CBS EVENING NEWS’ ANCHOR: I’ve got an important question about the situation in Minnesota, the death of Rene Nicole Goode. I’ve been speaking to her father, who is a big supporter of yours, like many Americans are. But he’s heartbroken right now. I can understand that. He’s heartbroken because his daughter is dead. That’s obvious. He’s also heartbroken because your administration so quickly has come out and said she’s a domestic terrorist. What do you want to say to her father right now? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, I want to say to the father that I love all of our people. They can be on the other side. As you say, he might be on my side. DOKOUPIL: He is on your side. TRUMP: And I think that’s great. And I do. I think it’s great. And I would bet you that she, under normal circumstances, was a very solid, wonderful person. But her actions were pretty tough. I’ve seen it many ways and many different shapes and forms. But the bottom line is that we have hundreds of thousands of murderers in our country’s killers. ICE is trying to get them out. They were let in through an open border policy of Sleepy Joe Biden. ICE is working very hard to get them out. Their job is being made very, very difficult. And, you know, when you look at that tape, it can be viewed two ways, I guess. But when you look at the way that was, that car was pulled away, there are a couple of versions of that tape that are very, very bad.
