Democrats have been looking for their next Michael Brown or George Floyd moment since Trump took office.
They think they finally found it.
And Joy Behar turned red with rage after this ICE shooting triggered her ugliest meltdown yet.
The View Hosts Manufacture Their 2026 Campaign Theme
The View co-host Joy Behar went on an unhinged rant claiming President Trump created a "dictatorship" in America.
She pointed to the Minneapolis ICE shooting as proof Trump was destroying democracy.
"Are we in the middle of fascist America?" Behar shrieked. "Pete Hegseth started an illegal war for oil in Venezuela. Stephen Miller threatened a military takeover of Greenland. RFK Jr slash childhood vaccine recommendations and ICE shot and killed a United States citizen in Minneapolis. That sort of adds up to me like a dictatorship in the making that we are now in it. We are in it now."
The ICE agent shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good after she tried to run over federal agents during an enforcement operation.
Video shows Good's Honda Pilot moving toward the agent before he opened fire.
Behar wasn't interested in what the video shows or what federal officials say happened.
She needed this shooting to fire up Democrat voters for the 2026 midterms.
Democrats Already Caught Lying About Who Good Really Was
Behar and the media immediately painted Good as an innocent mother just dropping her kids off at school.
Her family claimed she wasn't involved in any protests or activism.
Democrats couldn't keep their stories straight.
Former Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison called Good "a compassionate neighbor trying to be a legal observer on behalf of her immigrant neighbors."
That's left-wing code for trained activist who monitors and obstructs law enforcement operations.
Vice President JD Vance exposed what Democrats were desperately trying to hide.
"That woman is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job," Vance said.
Local news reports revealed immigration activists in Minneapolis formed volunteer groups who track ICE agents in their neighborhoods and release social media warnings to obstruct federal enforcement.
So which is it?
Was Good an innocent mom or a "legal observer" working to obstruct federal agents?
Democrats can't have it both ways.
Behar Insults ICE Agents Risking Their Lives
Behar didn't stop at calling Trump a dictator.
She went after the ICE agents themselves.
"These ICE agents, by the way, they get a $50,000 bonus when they sign up. They're highly motivated people who probably don't have much going on," Behar sneered.
Federal agents risking their lives to enforce immigration law "probably don't have much going on."
The ICE agent who shot Good was dragged by a vehicle during a separate incident last June.
He'd already been injured in the line of duty before making a split-second decision to defend himself.
Behar thinks he "probably doesn't have much going on" because he earns a signing bonus for one of the most dangerous jobs in federal law enforcement.
She also lectured Americans that they need to "wake up" and "start reading and watching and paying attention" to what's really happening.
Behar thinks ordinary Americans are too stupid to understand current events without The View telling them what to think.
The Pattern Democrats Run Every Election Year
Federal officials tell a completely different story than Behar and her media allies.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Good "attacked" officers and "attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle" after the agents got stuck in the snow.
President Trump described Good as "very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense."
Multiple videos from different angles back up what federal officials are saying.
Democrats are already building their false narrative for 2026.
They used Trayvon Martin in 2012 to fire up their base.
Michael Brown in Ferguson became their rallying cry in 2014.
George Floyd riots helped them in 2020.
Now the Minneapolis ICE shooting will be their ticket back to power in 2026.
Notice the pattern?
Every time there's an election year, an incident like this gets plastered all over the media.
Democrats weaponize these incidents to convince Americans that law enforcement is out of control.
They don't care about the facts or that Good was actively obstructing federal agents.
They care about manufacturing outrage and driving their voters to the polls.
Behar screaming about Trump's "dictatorship" while an ICE agent defends himself from being run over shows how desperate Democrats have become.
They need Americans to believe federal agents are jackbooted thugs and left-wing activists obstructing immigration enforcement are innocent victims.
That's the only playbook Democrats know, and they're running it again in 2026.
