Tapper shreds Noem. Accept no substitute.
Tapper: "By this standard, would any of these officers be justified in shooting and killing the people causing them physical harm?"
Noem: "Every single situation is going to rely on the situation those officers are on."
It only gets dumber from there.

Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."
