Trump says he spoke to 'devastated' parents of Laken Riley, blasts Biden for border crisis ‘like a war'

Former President Trump said he spoke with the "devastated" parents of Laken Riley — the Georgia nursing student who was brutally murdered, allegedly by an illegal migrant — saying he is "not going to forget her," and blasting President Biden for "never" saying her name.

 The former president began his remarks from the border Thursday afternoon by saying he spoke to the parents of Riley, who he described as "an incredible young lady."

"The parents are devastated and they’re incredible people," he said. "This is a Joe Biden invasion. A Biden invasion. I call him crooked Joe… the most incompetent president we've ever had."

Trump's visit to the border coincided with President Biden's own trip to a different section of the border between Texas and Mexico. Biden did not mention Riley in his public remarks.

...

"A beautiful 22-year-old nursing student from Georgia was barbarically attacked. She was on a morning run… she was a beautiful young woman," he said. "I spoke to her parents yesterday, they are incredible people. They are devastated beyond belief. She was so beautiful in so many ways." 

Trump said she was "brutally assaulted, horrifically beaten, kidnaped, and savagely murdered." 

"The monster, the charge, charged in the death is an illegal alien migrant who was led into our country and released into our communities by Crooked Joe Biden," Trump said, adding that he "took the name from Hillary because she’s no longer relevant I guess."

Trump's instincts on this are spot on. This and similar stores (there are far too many) are incredibly impactful, and will absolutely be important during this campaign.

Biden's ham-handed photo op is just the icing on the cake. His handlers couldn't have generated worse optics if they were secretly working for Trump.

Remember also Kate Steinle. Here's a picture of Kate with her wetback killer:

Just curious. Has Nikki Haley had anything to say about Laken Riley’s murder?

I’ll never forget Newsome’s dismissive attitude when he met with Kate’s parents. As if there seeking justice for their daughter is worse than her being “accidentally” murdered. What a weapons grade 💩bag

Photo of Kate Steinle and killer.

Thank you for posting that. We must never allow anyone to forget that.

The killer got overwhelming support and protection from the legal system and the sanctuary city.

“In late 2017, a San Francisco Superior Court jury acquitted Garcia Zarate of various charges including murder. But shortly after his acquittal, federal prosecutors charged him with two counts of illegal gun possession.”

Trump says “like a war.”

In 2015 about his book Stop the Coming Civil War, Michael Savage said: “Actually, we are already in a second Civil War now but only one side is doing all the shooting.”


Our side has had terrible losses and casualties.
