Velshi Nudges MSNBC Contributor to Talk Up ‘Lawful’ Violence Against ICE Agents
14th July 2025
Caleb Howe at Mediaite reported that on Saturday’s Velshi, MSNBC contributor Joyce Vance said ICE agents wearing masks during enforcement actions could face “lawful” violence against them by people who mistake raids for a “kidnapping.”
As one would expect from a Trump-hating MSNBC pundit, Vance guessed that everything ICE was doing was based on zero evidence except for skin color: “You can’t simply racially profile or profile people based on their national origin and start pulling them off the streets.”
She stuck to routine MSNBC phrasing: “That, by definition, is a police state.”
Vance further insulted the people who have effectively sealed off the border as more loyal to Trump than the rule of law and the Constitution: “the people in charge are no longer the career officials with training who understand loyalty to the Constitution. These are quite literally people who understand loyalty to Donald Trump.” That’s rich coming from the Biden open-borders allies.
After the typical “anti-fascist” Canadian political science professor lamented the descending authoritarianism, Velshi then nudged Vance to claim ICE deserves whatever violence they receive.
