White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt didn’t hold back during Thursday’s briefing, absolutely dismantling a reporter who dared to label the ICE agent’s shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis as unjustifiable. The journalist, parroting left-wing talking points, tried to smear the agent as trigger-happy, but Leavitt fired back with precision: You’re a left-wing hack. It’s a mic-drop moment that exposes the media’s blatant bias against law enforcement, especially when federal agents are doing the dirty work of securing our borders amid an unprecedented migrant surge. Good, a 55-year-old woman with a long rap sheet including assault and drug charges, lunged at the agent with a knife during an arrest attempt—classic suicide by cop territory that the press conveniently ignores to push their anti-ICE narrative.

This clash isn’t just briefing-room theater; it’s a stark reminder of how the left weaponizes tragedy to undermine Second Amendment rights. Notice the pattern: when a cop or agent—armed as their job demands—defends themselves against a deadly threat, outlets like this reporter’s rush to cry unjustified without bodycam context or criminal history. It’s the same playbook used against armed citizens in defensive gun uses, where stats show over 2 million DGUs annually (per CDC estimates often buried by gun-control advocates), yet media spotlights the rare misuse. Leavitt’s takedown defends not just ICE, but the principle that good guys with guns—whether agents or concealed carriers—save lives. Implying otherwise erodes public support for self-defense rights, paving the way for more restrictive carry laws.

For the 2A community, this is a rallying cry: every attack on law enforcement firearms is an indirect assault on our rights. As border chaos escalates with record encounters (over 2.4 million in FY2023 per CBP), expect more such incidents where agents must draw. Leavitt’s pushback bolsters the case that media hacks aren’t journalists—they’re activists eroding the armed protector ethos central to the Founders’ vision. Stand with her; share this clip. The right to keep and bear arms includes those bearing the badge against real threats, not hypothetical smears.
