Tensions in the House of Representatives soared over the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday, leading to one Democratic lawmaker having to be torn from his Republican colleague after a heated tirade.
Democratic Rep. Angie Craig (MN-2), who is running for Senate in the North Star State based on the strength of her existence. *checks notes* A lesbian momgot into it with House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (MN-6), reportedly over the shooting of a woman who decided to ignore orders from law enforcement and then use her car as a weapon.
And I won't even make the argument for justification here – the ICE agent had every right to use his weapon based on the woman's actions, which were clearly exposed in every angle posted on social media. As RedState Editor Bob Hoge wroteshe “locked the gas pedal and struck the officer” while “he returned fire, killing her.”
This is clear.
Craig, however, did not appear to care about the evidence, or may have closed her eyes while looking at it, and clashed with Emmer, who came to the defense of ICE after the shooting. What happened next shows that this woman has neither the discipline nor the demeanor to serve as a representative in the halls of Congress, let alone as a senator.

This is not normal behavior. Wild gestures, finger pointing. You need to be pulled away by someone later identified as Democratic Rep. Betty McCollum (MN-4) because you've clearly crossed the line.
None of this is normal.
Multiple sources talking to Axios In a report of the heated exchange, Craig “told Emmer, who defended ICE officers after the shooting, that a woman had been killed in Minnesota as a result of Republican political stunts.”
No. Democrat political stunts such as refusing to cooperate with federal immigration officials for months on end physically obstructive ICE operations themselves or persecution of perverted leftists taking action against the officers is what led to this woman's death.
She was simply acting out what others had done, apparently on instigation. from her own wifein hopes of getting a viral video that gets likes on social media. Was this supposed to happen? No, of course not. We all wish to God that this young woman does not die. But it's not the Republicans who are responsible. And it wasn't the ICE agent who feared for his life as the SUV he was standing in front of forced the driver to hit the gas.
Emmer apparently drew Craig's ire by expressing his support for ICE after the shooting.
“Our brave ICE agents put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities from dangerous criminals. May God bless and protect them in their efforts,” he said in a statement. statement.
Meanwhile, the Senate candidate posted a video on X echoing Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who said ICE needed to leave “their” city.

“President Trump and his administration will try to justify their intervention in Minnesota. – they will continue to lie and say that this is about people's safety – but Minnesotans know that's not true. This is an outright lie. “A woman was killed today as a result of a political stunt by the president,” Craig said without any evidence.
“Trump's actions were never about keeping people safe. They were never about catching criminals,” she added, referring to the president's apparent efforts to keep people safe and catch criminals. “They have always advocated weaponizing our immigration system and using immigrant communities as political pawns.”
“President Trump, Secretary Noem, hear me loud and clear: ICE must leave Minnesota. – NOW.”
Or what exactly? Are Frey and Craig going to back up their vile rhetoric with action? Are officers actually physically trying to prevent ICE from entering? We'll start heading into civil war territory if crazy people start trying to forcefully keep agents from doing their lawful duties.
ICE should splash Instead, resources and officers are sent to Minnesota. The overwhelming show of force will make protesters think twice about obstructing justice and impeding agents in their efforts to do their jobs and uphold the law.
Editor's note: Democratic politicians and their radical supporters will do everything they can to interfere with and threaten the ICE agents who enforce our immigration laws.
