Renee Nicole Good was an activist

According to the New York Post Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.

“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.

Tucker Carlson at the White House

 

Tucker Carlson is currently at the White House where he is attending President Trump’s meeting with oil executives to discuss how to acquire the largest oil reserves in the world in Venezuela. Why is Tucker Carlson attending when he has spent the last week completely trashing President Trump’s military operation in Venezuela, and falsely claimed that President Trump is about to get us into a New World War and that he only captured Maduro so Trump could spread homosexuality in Venezuela?

This is outrageous. Tucker Carlson is a virulent Jew hater and Islamic mouthpiece and he has no business being in the Oval Office. Truly disgusting. What a hypocrite Tucker truly has become. Terrible optics for the Trump admin in a midterm year to have Tucker of all people in the White House. Very bad idea.
