CNN's Cornish: GOP Candidate’s Pledge to Deport or ‘Depart’ Illegal-Alien Murderers a ‘Death Threat’
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/17/2026 2:48:47 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On Wednesday's CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish played a campaign ad from Rick Jackson, winner of Georgia’s Republican gubernatorial primary, in which Jackson promised voters that criminal illegals who “commit sick, violent crimes, victimize our children, and get away with murder” would, if he becomes governor, “end up deported or departed.”

The spot featured the case of José Antonio Ibarra, the illegal immigrant who murdered Laken Riley.

Cornish pounced: “I said [saw?] the death threat at the end of that.” She added that what she heard was “culture war.” According to Cornish, the message was simply telling voters, “Hey, remember how you hate those people and that people, and these people shouldn't come over the border.”

Americans don’t “hate” legal immigrants, but they sure do hate illegal aliens who rape and murder Americans like Laken Riley. What about you, Audie?

Yikes. That makes me nervous about flying on an airline. They’re always listing departures.
