As outrage spreads over the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who fatally shot a woman as she was turning her car to drive away from them, President Donald Trump's far-right adviser Stephen Miller was already spinning a different narrative of what happened.
Miller, who has been accused of cribbing Nazi propaganda to write Trump's speeches, reposted an X video from far-right pundit Nick Sortor that showed the shooting from an angle where the officer was completely concealed behind the car, which Sortor claimed was "the moment a woman tried to RUN OVER ICE agents with her vehicle in Minneapolis."
"Domestic terrorism," Miller wrote in reply.
But tons of commentators who saw video footage from other angles weren't buying it.
"We’re done with your gaslighting @stephenm," wrote Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY). "Even if the officer were run over, it’s not domestic terrorism. But as you can see from the path of the car after she was shot, she was trying to drive away. You are inciting untrained thugs to murder Americans. This is on you."
"Correct. Your ICE agents are terrorizing Americans and now killing white women in the suburbs," wrote podcaster Wajahat Ali.
"The propaganda effort to cover up Stephen Miller's latest murder goes into action," wrote national security analyst Marcy Wheeler.
"Yes, Temu Goebbels, the murder of this woman was domestic terrorism. ICE are domestic terrorists, you are their leader, and we are going to bury you all under the prison when this is all over," wrote novelist Patrick S. Tomlinson.
"It's a different level of sickness to post the video, a snuff film that shows nothing remotely resembling 'domestic terrorism,' and label it as such," wrote Talking Points Memo reporter Josh Kovensky.
"Yes. your thugs are waging a campaign of domestic terror against American cities including now the murder of an American citizen," wrote commentator Krystal Ball.
