Timmy Macklin, a Trump supporter, joined CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" on Tuesday night.

'I don't blame ICE. I don't blame Rebecca. I don't blame Renee.'

Host Erin Burnett mentioned that the DOJ did not find substantial reason to launch an investigation into the incident, including the actions of the ICE agents and Good herself. She then asked Macklin how he felt about this aspect of the incident in particular.

Macklin stated, "It's a hard situation all the way around. It's hard for everybody involved. The ICE agent, you know, at first, I didn't see the footage where he was actually [hit]. ... In a flash like that it's hard to say how you would react. From my understanding, he had been through that before, maybe dragged or something. And so, like I said, it's just a hard situation for everybody."

"I don't have any enemies. I love everybody. That's what the Bible tells us: love our neighbors as we love ourselves," Macklin said. "But, you know, I think there's some bad choices. And the word says for the wrath of God will come upon the children of disobedience."

Macklin expressed sympathy for everyone involved but refused to cast the blame on any one party

"I don't blame ICE. I don't blame Rebecca. I don't blame Renee," he said. "I just wish that, you know, if we were walking in the spirit of God, I don't think she would have been there. That's the way I look at it."

Good left behind a 6-year-old son, Timmy Macklin's grandson.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
