The bad advice that you gladly won’t take

Sohrab Ahmari — the brown in various alleged red-brown alliances some people are inexplicably gullible enough to fall for although the brown always dissolves the red entirely — said that liberals need to understand that Americans are going to love ICE shooting unthreatening soccer moms three times in the face, based on the rigorous polling of his firm, I Made It Up LLC:

Thanks, I will gladly take your final invitation!

Days after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot a Minneapolis woman in an incident that was captured on video, voters 82 – 18 percent say they have seen a video of the shooting and a majority (53 percent) think the shooting was not justified, 35 percent think it was justified, and 12 percent did not offer an opinion, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll of registered voters released today.

There are differences based on political party and gender.

Republicans (77 – 10 percent) think the shooting was justified, while Democrats (92 – 4 percent) and independents (59 – 28 percent) think the shooting was not justified.

Partisans who like to kid themselves about their partisanship are often the most mindless partisans of all. But just remember which side he was on the next time he makes vague gestures to “economic populism” that will never have any follow-through.

In related news, the Trump administration is trying to get to the bottom of — the political associations of Renee Good’s widow:

Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned on Tuesday over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of a woman killed by an ICE agent and the department’s reluctance to investigate the shooter, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

Joseph H. Thompson, who was second in command at the U.S. attorney’s office and oversaw a sprawling fraud investigation that has roiled Minnesota’s political landscape, was among those who quit on Tuesday, according to three people with knowledge of the decision.

Mr. Thompson’s resignation came after senior Justice Department officials pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of the widow of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent on Wednesday.

Mr. Thompson, 47, a career prosecutor, objected to that approach, as well as to the Justice Department’s refusal to include state officials in investigating whether the shooting itself was lawful, the people familiar with his decision said.

I’m sure Ahmani can conduct some “internal polling” showing that this is popular too.
