The shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, prompted hundreds of thousands of Americans to protest across the country this weekend. “I'm wondering if you're not doing a disservice to the officer by reaching a conclusion before the investigation takes place,” he suggested. The back-and-forth between the two continued for several minutes, with Noem deflecting and dodging every question Tapper asked. As Noem insisted that Tapper was wrong to say she was lying about what was seen on the video of the shooting, Noem told Tapper that her remarks were “factual” before immediately being caught changing her story. As she responded to Tapper, Noem changed her language slightly: “They were there, pushing out a vehicle earlier-”“But that’s not what you said,” a frustrated Tapper responded.
