Tucker Carlson has joined the multitude of conservatives with commentary on the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, who was killed on Wednesday in Minneapolis by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.
However, the former Fox News host had a starkly different reaction than many of his peers.
Carlson slammed his fellow conservatives for using the tragedy “to score political points,” while also decrying liberal leaders like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for “behaving like children” by ordering ICE to “get the fuck out” of the city.
“But it should be secondary to the tragedy of Renee Nicole Good losing her life,” Carlson wrote Thursday in his subscriber-based newsletter.
“The 37-year-old was an American citizen and reportedly the mother of a kindergarten-aged child. Did we disagree with her views on immigration? Probably,” he continued. “But that shouldn’t matter. Her death is a tragedy, regardless of her partisan affiliations, ideological beliefs, or who pulled the trigger. A woman got shot in the face. How come so few conservatives are viewing this story through a human lens?”
