WATCH: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Shuts Down Jake Tapper with an Important Reminder After He Lectures Her on Her Comments Following ICE Self-Defense Shooting

Jake Tapper’s attempt to scold DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on Sunday for her comments following last week’s self-defense shooting in Minneapolis involving an ICE officer.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, chaos erupted on Wednesday after ICE fatally shot a rioter who attempted to run over agents in Minneapolis.

Video posted to X shows the moment an unhinged female was gunned down as she carried out her act of violence. Additional footage clearly shows that an ICE officer was in danger of being run over as Good accelerated.

Noem called the incident an “act of domestic terrorism.” She added that the officer followed his training.

“This is an experienced officer who followed his training, and we will continue to let the investigation unfold into the individual and continue to follow the procedures and policies that happen in these use of force cases,” she stated.

During their interview on CNN’s “State of the Union”, Tapper tried to lecture Noem for jumping to conclusions before the investigation was complete. But his move immediately backfired.

Noem then shut down Tapper with an important reminder: he had given a complete pass to Democrats such as AOC and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey when they slandered the officer and cursed out ICE.

After Tapper tried to interrupt, Noem cut him off by demanding he call out the Democrats as well.

Noem then closed by telling Tapper she had given the public nothing but the truth regarding the investigation, and if he does not like it, too bad.

TAPPER: Are you doing a disservice to the officer by reaching a conclusion before the investigation is complete?

NOEM: I haven’t heard you say once what a disservice it’s done for Jacob Frey to get up and tell ICE to get the “f out of the city…”

TAPPER: I’m going to…
