Kristi Noem Has Chilling Response to Agent Calling Renee Good “B*tch”
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem apparently has found some morsel of humor in Renee Nicole Good’s death.
Noem flashed a small smile while speaking about Good’s killing during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper Sunday morning, apparently undisturbed by the fact that one of her agents called the 37-year-old mother a “fucking bitch” immediately after an agent shot her in the face several times.
“Is that Agent [Jonathan] Ross’s voice calling Renee Good a fucking bitch?” Tapper asked after playing cell phone footage of the incident that clearly captured the phrase.
“I can’t determine which one it is, but it could be, sir,” Noem replied, pulling her lips into a quick smirk as she finished her sentence.

The footage Tapper showed of the shooting last week depicts a masked federal agent’s vantage point of the lethal encounter and offered an additional perspective of the extrajudicial killing.
The exchange, as captured in the video, begins with a 360 degree shot of Good’s red Honda pilot, and ends after multiple gunshots ring out, when her SUV careens into a utility pole and several parked vehicles.
In a paltry attempt to defend the agents’ deadly actions, Trump officials have claimed that Good was trying to kill an ICE agent by moving her vehicle—an allegation that is readily disputed by other video footage of the incident, which shows that Ross sidesteps the front bumper as it begins to push forward.
Still, that hasn’t stopped the administration from branding Good as a domestic terrorist. In their repeated defense of her needless death, Trump officials have also suggested that defying the barked orders of masked individuals who evade identification is a crime punishable by death.
Hundreds of protests have since taken place in cities across America, protesting Good’s death and the needless violence employed by ICE—an agency that has apparently morphed into Donald Trump’s personal gestapo—as well as the administration’s harrowing response to the killing.
