Republicans Shamelessly Politicize the Murder of a Young Woman in Georgia
MAGidiots rallying around woman murdered by 'illegal' immigrant.
It’s shamelessness on a level I have seldom seen. The clown princess of Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene, clearly rejoiced when a young woman, Laken Riley, from her state was brutally murdered by an “undocumented” man from Venezuela.
Ms. Riley was a nursing student at the University of Georgia and was abducted while jogging and found dead from blunt force trauma in a nearby park. It is a horrible killing and a genuine tragedy. What did Marjorie Taylor Greene do? She seized upon the murder with the zeal of a hyena on a fallen wildebeest. With saliva drooling from her rancid mouth, she turned the tragedy of Riley’s family into a massive photo op for herself and the deceitful insincerity of the entire right. Sadly, Laken’s grieving mother has also been sucked up into the circus and is now bashing President Biden for how he misspoke her name.
Each time a mass shooting takes place, Republicans race out like a herd of stupid to make their inane calls for “thoughts and prayers” and then inevitably call for the need for more guns in society. All is good, though, when they make these calls for more violence. If a Democrat dares to call for gun control measures, then he is pilloried for “politicizing a tragedy.”
Republicans, whose lies about wanting border security were revealed when they recently rejected a plan put forth by President Biden simply because Trump said it would hurt his chances for getting elected, pushed one family’s tragedy into the national discussion for no other purpose than to throw shit at President Biden. The insincerity of their sorrow over the loss the Riley family experienced should be readily noticeable. Still, sadly, MAGidiots are not bright people and miss such obvious things — especially when the opportunity to hate non-white people presents itself.
The “illegal” as President Biden called him — and let’s give him a goddamn break on this, I mean the way Democrats love to feast on this own is also giving more energy to all of this than it would otherwise have — is a problem for sure but not the circus being whipped up by Greene and her fellow idiots is not a way to go about solving this problem. The head of the border patrol union in Texas said that President Biden’s proposal was one of the most dynamic and positive attempts at slowing the flow of undocumented immigrants in generations. What have the Republicans in Congress offered? The sad and despicable politicization of one family’s tragedy.
Tens of thousands of Americans are violently slaughtered by guns each year, the majority of them by white people shooting people, and all we hear from Republicans is that “If there only had been more guns in these communities, then there would be less crime.”
Republicans love Laken Riley not for what she accomplished in life but for the tragic end of her life. When Trump was president, he had an opportunity to slow the flow, but his actions actually increased it. If Republicans were so shaken up about this “invasion,” then they would have acted last month. Here is how gleeful they really are over Ms. Riley’s murder.
On Truth Social, the former president wrote: “Crooked Joe Biden’s Border INVASION is destroying our country and killing our citizens!”
He called Mr Ibarra a “monster” who “illegally entered our Country in 2022…and then was released AGAIN by Radical Democrats in New York after injuring a CHILD!!”
If elected president, the 2024 Republican party frontrunner promised to “immediately Seal the Border, Stop the Invasion, and on Day One, we will begin the largest deportation operation of illegal CRIMINALS in American History (How the Right Politicized the Murder)!”
It is truly sick how so blatantly these people lie. They know, however, that their constituencies are completely uninformed and don’t know what is true or fake. Having been so aggressively lied to by Fox News and other right-wing media for over two decades, the poor herd of MAGA voters are just ignorant of reality. Look at how easily and confidently little Mikey Johnson lies about what happened.
House Speaker Mike Johnson joined in the rhetoric on X.
“The brutal murderer who took the life of Laken was one of the millions of illegal aliens that the Biden Administration simply released and unleashed upon our country,” he said. “The brutal murderer who took the life of Laken was one of the millions of illegal aliens that the Biden Administration simply released and unleashed upon our country.”
Tennessee Sen Marsha Blackburn similarly wrote: “The disastrous policies and negligence of the Biden administration is putting American lives at risk (How the Right Politicized the Murder)!”
If I didn’t know any better, I would think this stuff was being written by the Kremlin’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov.
