Early within the dialog, Newsom and Shapiro mentioned Renee Nicole Good, the lady shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent on Jan. 7. Within the moments earlier than the lethal capturing, Good blocked the road together with her automotive, entered right into a contentious verbal confrontation with ICE brokers, after which (judging by cellular phone footage) appeared to speed up within the route of an officer.

“Now, this instantly broke down into two separate narratives, each of which I believe are unfaithful,” Shapiro started.
“One was a story that was instantly pushed by the Trump administration and Secretary of Homeland Safety Kristi Noem that [Good] was a home terrorist who was trying to run over officers together with her automotive and was legitimately attempting [to hit], not simply this officer however a number of officers. That was the unique assertion. I mentioned on the time I assumed that was unfaithful. After which your press workplace tweeted out that it was state sponsored terrorism, which, I imply, governor, I do must ask you about that. That … type of factor makes our politics worse.”
“Yeah,” Newsom mentioned.
Newsom’s press workplace posted, “STATE. SPONSORED. TERRORISM[,]” on Jan. 7, presumably in reference to Good’s dying.
.@GavinNewsom WALKS BACK calling ICE operations “state-sponsored terrorism”:
Shapiro: Your press workplace mentioned it was “state-sponsored terrorism.”
Newsom: “Yeah…”
Shapiro: “Our ICE officers clearly will not be terrorists…”
Newsom: “Yeah, I believe that’s honest.” pic.twitter.com/ltjehS6ZVJ

“I imply, it does,” Shapiro continued. “I imply, our … ICE officers are clearly not terrorists. A tragic state of affairs just isn’t state sponsored terrorism.” (RELATED: Newsom Has California-Sized Monkey On His Again)
“Yeah, I believe that’s honest,” Newsom conceded.
Put one other greenback within the “Newsom tells somebody what they need to hear“ jar. The governor (most likely) has nationwide political ambitions. Perhaps an eye fixed on the presidency, as many have speculated. However Newsom can’t determine whether or not he needs to be a Invoice Clinton fashion “voice of motive,” or a “darkish woke” resistance lib.
