Trump press secretary launches tirade against reporter who asked about ICE
Source: The Guardian
The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, accused a reporter of being a "leftwing activist" during a heated confrontation on Thursday over the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent last week.
Beginning his question during the White House press briefing, Niall Stanage, a White House columnist for the Hill, referred to the Trump administration's staunch defense of ICE agents and the assertion by the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, that ICE are "doing everything correctly". He pointed to statistics showing that last year 32 people died in ICE custody and 170 US citizens were detained by ICE, before noting that Good was "shot in the head and killed by an ICE agent".

Is it just money and power?
Or is it because they are all really hate so much?
Or is there fear lurking behind them.
