JD Vance supports murdering American citizens. He's made that perfectly clear today. If he's willing to defend the murder of Renee Good, he would defend your murder, too.
JD Vance accuses the slain Renee Good of perpetrating "an attack on federal law enforcement, an attack on law and order, and attack on the American people"
"That woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation," he adds, repeatedly referring to her as "that woman"

When an American civilian was shot by ICE, the mayor of Minneapolis didn’t sugar coat it:
“ICE, get the F*CK out!”
That’s leadership. That’s humanity. That’s how you stand up to state-sanctioned terror.
