Vice President JD Vance said on Jan. 8 that the “corporate media” was irresponsible in its coverage of the fatal shooting by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minnesota.

“I think it’s really irresponsible for you guys to go out there and imply or tell the American people that a guy who defended himself from being rammed by an automobile is guilty of murder,” he said during a news briefing at the White House.
