I would like your thoughts on who first politicized Mollie Tibbetts’ murder. Many of us have been following Tibbetts’ disappearance and have been praying for her safe return. Her body was found on the same day that Manafort was convicted on 8 counts against him and Cohen grabbed headlines with his plea deal. I thought I first heard that woman on MSNBC had said something to the effect that ‘FoxNews isn’t reporting on the Manafort and Cohen legal battles, but instead is paying more attention to ‘some girl in Iowa’. Then Sen Warren said the murder of Mollie Tibbetts was tragic but the legal problems of Manafort and Cohen was much more important. WHO IS POLITICIZING THESE EVENTS?
Rachel death was because of her actions
Molies death was preventable if any action was being taken to fix our broken illegal immigration system any time in the last 30 years
Absurdly nonsensical attempt to draw a fake moral equivalence on your part.
“Who First Politicized Mollie Tibbetts Murder?”
Politicized????!!!!
Did you enjoy the Kool-Aid?
You mean the expression of outrage at the senseless murder of a young woman is somehow political?
Mollie was killed by an illegal alien, and if we had sane immigration enforcement, she would be alive. There is where the outrage originates from, not politics.
And yes, yes, we have our own home grown murderers, but that doesn’t make it mandatory that we have to import murderers from all over the world.
Murder properly becomes "political" when it illustrates larger policy issues. The murder of Mollie Tibbetts is one of many hundreds of rapes and murders committed every year by illegal immigrants, often of young women. The wanton nature of the attack makes agonizingly clear yet again that the massive wave of illegal immigration that the US has experienced has raised the risks for ordinary Americans of becoming a victim of violent crime.
In response to claims that the death of Mollie Tibbetts is being made political, the best approach is to make the point that those who argue such claims want us to pretend that her death means nothing for the public. In truth, her death is an exceptionally painful and public illustration of the toll of illegal immigration.
Many people who are in the country illegally are dangerous to ordinary Americans. Pretending otherwise is stupid and vile. Mollie Tibbetts' death was part of the price of cheap illegal immigrant labor for dishonest farmers and businessmen and of new voters for liberal Democrats. Those who encourage and seek to benefit from illegal immigration should be held morally and politically accountable for its harms.
This announcement is no more "political" than it is announcing a massacre at a bar by a maniac wielding a gun.
Further, based on the FR posting timeline it looks like a tie between Trump and MSNBC "politicizing" her death.
Again...is it politicizing if you note that her murderer was here illegally, and use that as an example for legislative action? Further, is it "politicizing" to downplay her death (as MSNBC did) just because her murderer was an illegal?
When Thatcher died, John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotton) refused to bash away, say all such people were loathsome.
I'd like to think if the lead singer of the Sex Pistols can get it right, so can the rest of humanity.
Does it matter? Both sides did. And it was gross. And they should feel shame. And they won’t. And they’ll do it again with the next one.
I was referring to a conversation on The Five where Juan (of course) said that it was Republicans who had politicized Mollie Tibbetts’ murder. I had been sad for her disappearance and was appalled to find out it was (yet again) an illegal immigrant who had murdered her. I still had some hope she would be found. Period.
Define “politicize”.
Her leftist family came out saying they don’t want it politicized. Yeah, well, they hate Trump and guns but love illegals and look who murdered her. Sad how many across the nation prayed for her safe return and were concerned with the case and not once that I hear of ever mentioned an illegal being involved until he was named. I’d guess everyone immediately thought bad about illegals. Trump mention it but didn’t name names. Elizabeth Warren went off the skids kissing up for illegals and sweeping her body out the back door. Bottom line, it was wacky leftist Warren who hit the political bulls eye with it.
Sad, also, that her family has come out against it being politicized but smells like they’re just wanting no one to mention his status. I called that and sure enough.
"...Rachel Corrie and Mollie Tibbetts..."
You are right. She (dead white girl) is theirs. She wanted to be one of them. And she is.
Its all about love. She hated white people so much, she was willing to die at the hands of an illegal. The left is propping up her ravaged dead white girl body. It is really a beautiful story. About love.
They can have her. The right really has no business even mentioning the dead white girl. Really.
Playing tug of war with a dead white girl as the rope is stupid.
My thought...it’s just a few instances away from bodies being found in remote areas in the desert.....IF LAWS ARE NOT FOLLOWED...when government don’t abide by the law,the people will eventually follow....then the wrist ringers will ask “what happen?”
This November is incredibly important... lives depend on it,in ways you never imagined.
Well the family needs to get a grip. We, the public, have every right to know about how, when, where and by whom their daughter was murdered, especially when it occurred because of a front and center political issue which has been created by lawless democrats for votes and puts many of us in danger and is ripping this country apart.

>> “but instead is paying more attention to ‘some girl in Iowa’” <<
That statement is racially politicizing!
Bitter race baiting.
.
BTW, our Sunday School class has prayed over missing Mollie Tibbetts for weeks as well. We also prayed for her family and friends, that they be comforted during this troubling time.
Let’s be honest: every single person who wasn’t involved with the situation in some way, and who says or said they “care” about the well-being of the victim, is virtue signaling. A person can’t meaningfully care about someone they have no relationship with.
So everybody’s pretending to care but nobody’s fooled because the target of the attempts to deceive are also attempting to deceive others in the same way.
At least no one is saying she might be a “crisis actor”.
This story is extremely sad.
exactly!! I don’t know this girl. I don’t usually worry about strangers. I just don’t. I was called out for my comment.
at least i am honest. good night!
The left. And now they’re trying to disallow anyone else form commenting on it.
Don’t raise any fears here. It may have been publicized, but it will get buried at first opportunity because it is a problem the left can’t afford to draw any attention to that might stifle their voting lists.. Very few even remember who Kathryn Steinle was from July 2015. The story will go away like the wind and won’t even be a bad memory by 2020. or the facts will be changed by some back of the lap just in time to make the victim the villain. Can we say Trayvon Martin, O J Simpson, or how about Mike Brown? Every one was considered a criminal and was later handed a TV documentary that made them the victim. And they will hit with this one just prior to the national election to make Trump’s administration the bad guys whether they were involved or not. Even though they weren’t.
