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 shes coming back, shes 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 didnt 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 Mollies 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.
