2. The death of Laken Riley was a tragedy for her family

And it's a tragedy that occurs and repeats daily in the United States, although despite the fearmongering it's not typically caused by random undocumented immigrants. In fact, according to this article from last year (based on 2018 study data), on average three U.S. women are killed every day by an intimate partner.

That's three women a day killed by their AMERICAN husbands or boyfriends. A thousand women every year.

Does MTG want us to say their names? No. She is not interested in THOSE deaths. She is only interested in the death of one woman: Laken Riley. And she is not even interested in Riley's death, or life, she is interested only in the fact that Riley was killed by someone who should have been previously deported.



Look how happy she is in her get-up, using the killing of a single woman by an undocumented immigrant for pure political posturing, while ignoring all the other American women who are quietly murdered by their partners every day. "Say her name" my ass. MTG does not give two shits about Laken Riley or her family, she cares only what Laken Riley's corpse can do for her political career.
