The death of University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley – allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien released into country as part of the Biden regime’s open borders scheme despite his criminal record – has become a major issue for the Biden regime.
That’s largely because after ignoring Riley’s story in the hopes it would simply go away, President Joe Biden chose to make the politically calculated move of acknowledging her during his State of the Union Address only after being prodded by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
The only problem was the fact that when he went to say Laken Riley’s name, he called her “Lincoln Riley” instead, a total slap in the face to her grieving family.
But in stark contrast to Biden’s disrespectful approach, former President Donald Trump revealed for the first time publicly in a recent Breitbart interview that he met privately with Riley’s mother and the rest of her family prior to his March 12 rally in Georgia.
“Her parents are great people,” Trump said. “They lost an angel. They lost a person they loved more than anybody else. She was the top in her class and everything she ever did. She wanted to be a nurse, and maybe would have ended up being a doctor. Her friends were there too. They said, ‘We were not as good as her.’ She was like this perfect person and a good person. Her parents are very good people. I spent time with them. I met with her sister, who’s beautiful also, inside and out. These are people that can’t believe what happened.”
After spending time with the Riley family personally, Trump came away even more disgusted with how President Biden has treated them.
“They’ve been shown no compassion from Biden other than he called out the name with the wrong name,” Trump continued. “He only called it out because Marjorie Taylor Greene shamed him. It’s like he picked up the pin to try to read it and he didn’t read it very well. These are people who can’t believe what happened to them and can’t believe what he’s doing. They’ll never be the same.”
“Her parents are great people, and they’ll never be the same,” he added.
Of course, Riley isn’t the first American who perished as a direct result of his policies to be disrespected by Biden, and sadly, she likely won’t be the last.
After President Biden made the disastrous decision to immediately withdraw all American forces from Afghanistan – a decision he made in spite of warnings from military experts that his plan would cause untold chaos for Americans and Afghan allies alike – he refused to even mention the names of the 13 U.S. soldiers killed during the withdrawal.
Sadly, his disrespect of all Americans who are negatively impacted by his failed policies – specifically those victimized by criminal illegal aliens he continues to release into the country – is largely aided and covered up by Democrats’ media allies.
But during his Breitbart interview, Trump took aim at Democrats’ media allies for doing just that, blasting them for attempting to silence the families of those who’ve been killed by illegal aliens in order to help Democrats continue to advance their radical agenda.
In fact, Trump went so far as to say that such Angel families are “hated by the liberals. They’re hated” because they are a reminder of the dangers and failures of Democrats’ open borders agenda.
Clearly, the last thing Democrats want is for anyone to continue mentioning Laken Riley, or any other American who loses their life because of their open borders insanity.
But Donald Trump and millions of working class Americans aren’t going to let that happen.
