The murder of Mollie Tibbetts has been playing out for over a month and the ‘closure’ is appalling. Many of us, across the country, have spent some emotional capital praying for her safe return, and now she is gone at the hands of an illegal alien. This is a political story because the Left wants the Manafort/Cohen to bring down Trump. Maybe the illegal alien aspect of Mollie Tibbetts’ murder is being exploited, but to me, it seems that the Left is ALWAYS the side that politicizes EVERYTHING.

I somehow doubt that the fact that Mollie was a Bernie SJW factors in to the prayers for her safe return. And apparently now her family is railing against Republicans for ‘politicizing’ her murder. Wow. I guess next time I should ask what political persuasion a missing girl is, before I invest time in praying for her safe return?

Just my IMHO: “politicizing” something is a leftist phrase whose real meaning is: “shut up and stop talking about this because it hurts our side.”

Guess her family still wants illegals to enter the U.S., putting citizens at risk.

"...Tibbetts family spokesperson..."


There are countless people on Twitter already claiming to be “family” of hers.
Most ultimately prove to be an acquaintance of Mollie Tibbetts’s kindergarten teacher’s ex-husband’s best friend’s second cousin.
There is one relative who seems to be vetted and taking a fairly SJW stance on the issue. That is quite unfortunate.

The fact that an illegal alien murdered Mollie has been highly politicized by the Right also.

There’s a FR thread a day or so back “We are all Mollie Tibbets”. Jeez! The comments on that thread! And there was one thread that posted her actual tweets. Hoo Wee! The remarks for her and and against her were way intense!

That entire thread got deleted by JimRob himself.

Anyway, for you to say “it seems that the Left is ALWAYS the side that politicizes EVERYTHING” is incorrect.

We do it too.

It was politicized very quickly.

Locally, a lot of people were asking “Why is one missing white girl such a big deal when we have a bunch of (Fill in the blank) missing also?”

It seems the family is fine with the young woman being murdered if political points can be levied against those who oppose their ideology. This illegal POS is a adopted son. You see this insanity in Europe also. Liberalism is a mental disorder. Society is regressing rapidly. This woman was sacrificed for the cause.

No the Left doesn’t get it both ways. THEY have made everything from Gun Crime to Hurricanes political. NOW that it biting them on the ass, they don’t get to cry about it.

“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.

Bickering over who politicized a murder is pointless. Murder is not a private matter but is inherently a matter of public concern.

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.

If you search FR, the first "politicizing" was a post referencing a news conference where they announced the suspect was an illegal. This is corroborated in this Tweet from a local TV station.

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.

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.

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.

That statement is racially politicizing!

Bitter race baiting.
