Trey Gowdy Says Jacob Blake Incident Looks Like ‘a Criminal Shoot,’ Questions Whether Audio Exists

Former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said Wednesday that video footage of police shooting 29-year-old Jacob Blake in Kenosha on Sunday doesn’t look good for police, saying on Fox News that it looked like “a bad shoot.”

Pointing to comments by Blake’s mother, Julia Jackson, Gowdy said, “Why can’t we do what his mom has asked us to do? She’s asked for prayers. Whether you believe in them or not, pray for her son’s health. Pray for her community. She’s asked for unity, which is reminiscent of what the victims’ families of Emmanuel church family asked for — forgiveness and unity. And she’s asked for answers.

“My first question is, I want to see the inventory search of the car,” Gowdy added. “What was in the car that he was trying to get into? Then I want to know, is there any audio? I’ve seen the video. The video is damning. The video makes me conclude that this was a bad shoot, a criminal shoot. But I want to know if there is audio.”
