GROSS: Twitter Omits Alleged Ohio Rapist Was an ‘Illegal Immigrant’
NewsBusters ^ | 7/14/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Twitter’s suppression of key facts of a viral, reported rape incident in Ohio completely upends the platform’s claims that it protects against “misinformation.”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reportedly confirmed to Fox News Digital July 13 that a person who allegedly raped a 10-year-old girl in Ohio, Gerson Fuentes, was a “Guatemalan illegal immigrant.” The girl reportedly later sought an abortion in another state.

But in Twitter’s “trending” page item on the story, the platform instead characterized Fuentes simply as a “Columbus man” charged for “allegedly impregnating a 10-year old girl,” leaving the “illegal immigrant” part out entirely.

The Twitter trend highlighted a July 14 Reuters article, which also happened to label Fuentes merely as an “Ohio man” and omitted that he was reportedly in the country illegally. Twitter self-professes that it tackles “misinformation” in part by “empower[ing] customers with credible context on important issues.” What a joke.

“Columbus man”

Calling him that is not just misleading. It is cowardly.

Would castration with a butter knife be okay?

Which is why they were trying to cover it up. The only reason we know who did it is the abortion activist doctor lied about the Ohio abortion laws. It is quite possible that this rapist was a human smuggler who brought the little girl over the border. Why didn’t the “mother” call the police instead of children services when she found out the child had been raped?

Would you quit trying to focus on the fact that if Biden had kept the border sealed the way Trump did, that the little girl would never had been raped in the first place, negating the necessity of needing an abortion, and key in on real issue here which is that 10 year olds can't get abortions on demand anymore?

Use a Swiss Army knife and select the right tool for the job.

Be inventive.

Illegal alien status should always be included in news reports when a crime is committed. It’s part of the “the five W’s” (who, what, where, when and if possible why).

People aren’t framing this correctly. Here is the situation. A pedophile illegally comes into the country. Repeatedly rapes a pre-teen child. She gets pregnant. He is still walking around. The authorities do nothing. They don’t want anyone to notice so they look for an abortion in another state. Because to get that abortion in their own state would set off too many alarms. And nobody has a problem with this on the left.

What they have a problem with is the the two hour car ride. That is what is so horrible the President of the United States can’t handle that atrocity. The rape, the rapist walking around free is not a problem. But the girl is going to be scarred by the long car ride?

The morals of the left are shocking.

ILLEGAL ALIEN.

They are NOT immigrants.

Immigrants are people who apply for, pay for, wait for and comply with the documents that make them immigrants.

People who break in are ILLEGAL ALIENS.

or Fraudulently Documented Foreigners.

Yep, this entire thing is off. Think about it, a mother finds out her 10 yo has been raped and is pregnant. My fingers couldn’t dial 911 fast enough. Instead, someone advised her to call FCCS first and that was to avoid LE. It would be hard to find a more liberal, bleeding heart agency than Franklin County CS and believe me, I know what and who they are and how they operate. They work hand in hand with planned parenthood……….

I’m not buying he’s the rapist. I think they had to find a scapegoat to cover the story. The timing right after Ohio AG said he hasn’t heard a whisper of the story. Then they get an illegal who probably was threatened to admit the rape.

An excellent summation of things.

Well done.
