Trump Slams Democrats Over Mollie Tibbetts Death: Their Policies Are 'Spilling Very Innocent Blood'

by Tamar Auber | Aug 24th, 2018, 7:22 pm

Speaking at an Ohio Republican State Party fundraiser in Columbus Friday evening, President Donald Trump invoked the death of Mollie Tibbetts to slam Democrats on immigration.

Shortly after saying the Republican party “stands strongly behind ICE,” Trump then brought up how “they charged an illegal alien in the murder of a college student Mollie Tibbetts.

“Everybody loved her. Everybody that met her loved her,” Trump said. “And the father was saying she’s coming back, she’s coming back… This went on for a long time. When they found out that it was this horrible, illegal immigrant that viciously killed her, all of a sudden that story went down. They didn’t want to cover it the way it should have been covered. But what happened to Mollie was a disgrace.”

He added “Our hearts go out. We mourn for Mollie’s family.”

Tibbetts family has said publicly they do not want her death politicized.

Yet, Trump did not stop at Tibbetts’ tragedy to make his point.

Probably because Trump has them running around chasing grandmas at farmers markets instead of going after dangerous criminals. Trumps policies have made us less safe. You can see it by the death of Ms. Tibbetts

How about all the schoolkids murdered in cold blood, what about the white man who killed his pregnant wife and 2 children, and those killed every day in the US, he has no shame, he exploits tragedy when he can use it for a campaign issue.

How about all of the THOUSANDS, possibly millions, of innocent people, children, disabled, seniors, etc whose lives that will be deeply harmed and flat out lost because of YOUR inaction, YOUR actions and your STUPID asinine policy changes?

You don't truly care about ANYONE or anything unless it strokes YOUR bigoted White Supremacist narcissistic ass.

Awful Trump needs to respect that girl and her family and stop using her as a self-serving political tool. It's really sick what he's doing. And meanwhile children suffer in cages. Sick sick sick.
