""Vance knows that protesting, fleeing or even interfering in an ICE investigation (which there is no evidence that Good did) does not carry a death sentence. Vance knows that lying and killing are sins. Vance knows. He doesn't care. Vance's twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity has been repudiated by two popes. His Catholicism seems to be little more than a political prop, a tool only for his career ambitions and desire for power.""
""A tragedy? Absolutely. But a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with." Good, however, was none of the things MAGA is painting her to be. She was a 37-year-old poet and mother of three who was shot after driving home with her partner from dropping off her youngest son at school."
Catholic critics condemned Vice President JD Vance for blaming Renee Nicole Good rather than the ICE officer who shot her. Critics labeled his stance twisted, wrongheaded, and a moral stain on the faith. They emphasized that protesting, fleeing, or even interfering in an ICE investigation does not justify lethal force and reminded that lying and killing are sins. Vance tweeted that the tragedy falls on "this woman and all of the radicals" who promote interference in immigration law. Renee Nicole Good was a 37-year-old poet and mother of three with no criminal record. Vance converted to Catholicism in 2019, has used his faith in political messaging, advanced hardline immigration positions, and drew public rebuke from Pope Francis.
