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

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".

I feel terrible for their loss, but that's what it is...... their loss. Evil fucking repubs need to shut up.

They're not concerned with what the dead person's family thinks. They have their own agenda.

But they WILL send thoughts & prayers all day.

They lost a beloved member of their family. I so admire her aunt for her looking outwards and for her consideration of others in what should be a private time.

Fox News is trying to make this into an immigration story. But immigrants are less likely to commit crimes in the US.

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.

And if only she had been killed in a good old fashioned gunfight.

How comforting that would have been to her family.

Every single one. It has already started. And the media is framing the narrative to help them.

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