Fox News Brian Kilmeade lays into Mamdani over | TV Shows

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade has hit out at Zohran Mamdani on social media – but it backfired.

After a lady was shot lifeless by an ICE agent in an incident described by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as an “act of home terrorism,” the Mayor of New York City wrote on X, “This morning, an ICE agent murdered a woman in Minneapolis—only the latest horror in a year full of cruelty.

“As ICE assaults our neighbors across America, it’s an assault on us all. New York stands with immigrants today, and every day that follows.”

Kilmeade, 61, criticized Mamdani’s comment as he tweeted, “He’s worse then [sic] we might think about already: Mayor Mamdani – ‘an ice agent murdered a lady in Minneapolis’ Why wait for details?”

However, some people hit out at Kilmeade in the comment section with one writing, “Facts? You imply the video?”

Other people also hit out at Kilmeade, who previously said people who are experiencing homelessness and mental illnesses should be executed.

He later apologized for the comments, which he described as “extraordinarily callous,” after facing calls to be fired.

“‘JUST KILL EM’ unquote kilmeade,” a critic posted. Another said, “Hey Brian If she had been homeless you’d be OK proper??”

One more said, “You advocated for murdering homeless people.”

“You need homeless people killed,” someone else added. “Maybe sit this one out.”

The woman, named as Renee Nicole Macklin Good, was a 37-year-old mother of three who had recently moved to Minnesota.

She was a US citizen born in Colorado and appears to never have been charged with anything involving law enforcement beyond a traffic ticket.

In social media accounts, Macklin Good described herself as a “poet and author and spouse and mother.”

She said she was currently “experiencing Minneapolis,” displaying a pride flag emoji on her Instagram account.

A profile picture posted to Pinterest shows her smiling and holding a young child against her cheek, along with posts about tattoos, hairstyles and home decorating.

Her ex-husband, who asked not to be named out of concern for the safety of their children, said Macklin Good had just dropped off her six-year-old son at school Wednesday and was driving home with her current partner when they encountered a group of ICE agents on a snowy street in Minneapolis, where they had moved last year from Kansas City, Missouri.

Video taken by bystanders posted to social media shows an officer approaching her car, demanding she open the door and grabbing the handle.

When she begins to pull forward, a different ICE officer standing in front of the vehicle pulls his weapon and immediately fires at least two shots into the vehicle at close range.

In another video taken after the shooting, a distraught woman is seen sitting near the vehicle, wailing, “That’s my spouse, I do not know what to do!”

During a press briefing, Noem claimed the incident was an “act of home terrorism” carried out against ICE officers by a woman who “tried to run them over and rammed them with her vehicle.”

She said, “An officer of ours acted shortly and defensively, shot, to shield himself and the people around him.”

In a social media post, President Donald Trump made similar accusations against the woman and defended ICE’s work.

Noem claimed the woman was part of a “mob of agitators” and said the officer followed his training. She said the veteran officer who fired his gun had been rammed and dragged by an anti-ICE motorist in June.

“Any loss of life is a tragedy, and I feel all of us can agree that in this scenario, it was preventable,” Noem said, adding that the FBI would investigate.

But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey blasted Noem’s version of what happened as “rubbish” and criticized the federal deployment of more than 2,000 officers to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul as part of the immigration crackdown.

“What they’re doing is just not to present security in America. What they’re doing is inflicting chaos and mistrust,” Frey said, calling on the immigration agents to leave.

“They’re ripping households aside. They’re sowing chaos on our streets, and in this case, fairly actually killing people.”

The mayor said, “They are already making an attempt to spin this as an motion of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I wanna inform all people instantly, that is b——t.”
