CNN’s Inside Politics host Dana Bash had no evidence on Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security was being untruthful when it said that an ICE agent shot a man in the leg in self-defense during an arrest operation after he joined in with other two other would-be assailants, one of whom was wielding a snow shovel. Nevertheless, Bash tried to cast doubt on the situation, claiming DHS is untrustworthy given the video of the shooting of Renee Good.
Addressing correspondent Priscilla Alvarez, Bash declared that, “I just want to talk about the reality that we face right now after what happened last week with Renee Good’s killing. And that is this time we don’t, as far as we know, have video of what happened with this man being shot in the leg. We do have DHS saying exactly what they said was happened, which is that he was defending himself and it was a bad situation for him. You can fill in those blanks, but because we saw what we saw with our own eyes and because the explanation was so different from DHS last week, it puts the whole question of trust in a very big question mark box.”
