Mollie Tibbetts' Aunt Speaks Out as Trump Uses Murder as Talking Point: 'Evil Comes in EVERY Color'

Last month it was Nia Wilson, a young black woman, in Oakland, her killer was white. Evil does come in every color. Families in every color suffer the loss of their loved ones. It's pathetic that Trump would use Mollie's death as red meat for his "supporters".

But they WILL send thoughts & prayers all day.

The Trump family would be an outlier because his grandfather ran a brothel and was kicked out of his native Germany for being a draft dodger. Maybe bone spurs run in the family
Black Americans still are victims of hate crimes more than any other group

The President says nothing about that. Wouldn't go over well with his white supremacist supporters.

How comforting that would have been to her family.

When Trump said that illegal immigration was going to cause his red wave election a few days ago, its almost like he knew something. I put nothing past these monsters.
