JUST IN: She saw Trump's shameless politicizing of her niece's tragic death and decided to take to Facebook.
Mollie Tibbetts’ aunt just sent Trump and his supporters a powerful message they shouldn’t ignore
The tragic heartbreaking murder of Mollie Tibbetts, a University of Iowa student who was killed when she refused to respond to the advances of Cristhian Bahena Rivera, has been seized upon by the Trump administration as an opportunity to advance their hateful dehumanization and demonization campaign against Hispanic immigrants.
The right-wing media machine kicked into overdrive at every level, from the bottom-feeding slugs at the Gateway Pundit to the White House itself, in a concentrated effort to tie this murder to Rivera’s status as an undocumented immigrant rather than focus on the real issue, which is the way that men of every race or legal status often respond to female rejection with violence.
However, Tibbetts’ family won’t have any of it. Refusing to let the heartwrenching loss of their beloved Mollie be exploited by cynical ideologues to justify a racist smear campaign, Tibbets’ family has taken to social media to make their voices heard and to implore the nation to honor her memory with peace and respect.
Tibbetts’ second cousin, Sam, went viral this afternoon with a fiery response to right-wing astroturf propaganda outlet Turning Point USA’s Candace Owens for her astonishingly heartless attempt to downplay the horrendous cruelty of the Trump administration’s child separation family, which tore thousands of kids from their parents, by exploiting the death of Mollie Tibbetts.
sam @samlucasss hey i’m a member of mollie’s family and we are not so fucking small-minded that we generalize a whole population based on some bad individuals. now stop being a fucking snake and using my cousins death as political propaganda. take her name out of your mouth.
Candace Owens @RealCandaceO Leftists boycotted, screamed, and cried when illegal immigrants were temporarily separated from from their parents.
What will they do for Mollie Tibbetts? What did they do for Kate Steinle?
They will NEVER see their parents again.
It should come as no surprise that throughout all the furor over the killing of Mollie Tibbetts, not a crocodile tear has been shed for the white Colorado father who recently murdered his pregnant wife and two girls in a fit of rage, proving that they care nothing for Mollie and nothing for her life beyond its use in their heinous political narrative.
