Vice President JD Vance is widely casting blame as he responds to reporters questioning about the ICE fatal shooting in Minnesota.

The vice president's voice rose as he decried what he called the corporate media for its coverage of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer having shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis.

He then went on to blame Minnesota Governor Tim Walz "as a joke", a left-wing network and the victim herself.

"What you see is what you get in this case," Vance said in the White House press briefing room, downplaying ambiguity about the circumstances that led to the shooting.

The officer was clearly acting in self-defense, Vance said. He framed Good as "a victim of left-wing ideology" who was spurred by an alleged network of politically motivated groups to interfere with law enforcement.

"I can believe that her death is a tragedy while also recognizing that it is a tragedy of her own making," Vance said.
