Mollie Tibbetts’ dad: Don’t use my daughter’s death to promote ‘racist’ views
NY Post ^ | September 2, 2018 | Max Jaeger

Posted on 09/02/2018 9:34:01 AM PDT by conservative98

Tibbetts’ dad Rob took to the paper’s pages Saturday to lambast those who cynically use the murder to score political points — using Trump Jr.’s own words against him.

“I encourage the debate on immigration; there is great merit in its reasonable outcome. But do not appropriate Mollie’s soul in advancing views she believed were profoundly racist. The act grievously extends the crime that stole Mollie from our family and is, to quote Donald Trump Jr., ‘heartless’ and ‘despicable,’” he wrote.

It was the only time he mentioned Trump Jr. by name in the column, published in the same paper one day after the president’s son’s.

“Allow us to grieve in privacy and with dignity. At long last, show some decency. On behalf of my family and Mollie’s memory, I’m imploring you to stop,” Rob continued.

While Trump Jr. used his soapbox to renew his father’s unfulfilled campaign promise of building a wall along the nation’s southern border, Rob Tibbetts sought to deflect blame away from the Latino community.

“The person who is accused of taking Mollie’s life is no more a reflection of the Hispanic community as white supremacists are of all white people. To suggest otherwise is a lie,” he wrote.

“To the Hispanic community, my family stands with you and offers its heartfelt apology. That you’ve been beset by the circumstances of Mollie’s death is wrong.”

Exactly but you can't get a leftist to understand this basic concept. They can't grasp the difference between legal and illegal for some reason.

Lefties know the difference, they just won't admit it.

The goal of the Left is the destruction of America with it being replaced by a post-modernist communist state.

Illegals are part of their army.

All of America is “the border” these days. His daughter didn’t survive it but he cares more about her killer than her. That’s ok, he still has two sons to give to the cause. This all sounds like that Iranian mama who said it doesn’t matter how many of her children are killed by blowing themselves up because she has more to take their place. Mental illness.

Of course..for Commie leftists they are perfectly fine with having their own family members slaughtered for the cause of Communism. You could not read Mollie’s previous tweets and not know the apple did not fall far from the tree..she “Hated” white people..wanted open borders, well she got her open borders..her father did seem like sort of a weirdo during the press conference when she was still missing..said he was going back to California, figured she was safe and with someone she knew..the whole family strikes me as odd, but heck so do all liberals

Illegal is not a race. Fair game is fair game, especially when people want to do gun control and ignore acts of negligence by the school and law enforcement.

No one CAN "appropriate Mollie’s soul". But the facts of her death are public record and open to any and all debate. To include political.

Pretty pathetic to see a supposedly grown man so giddy about sacrificing his Daughter to promote the Illegal Alien Criminal Invaders right to wreak havoc in a foreign land.

Hmmm, keeping illegals out, and murderers is racist? I have no sympathy for a family that is so willing to maintain a situation where so many more families can be destroyed for their insane beliefs.

Of course he didn’t denounce the feminazis who said she died because ALL men compriseva toxic patriarchal rape culture.

Sorry his daughter is dead, sorry that he’s blind to the cause, and calling out his partisan hypocrisy on the ‘politicking’ issue.

John Edwards won the 2008 (or 2007?) father of the year award. And Hulk Hogan, who’d had an adulterous affair with his daughter’s friend, was sitting up there with him.

This cuck seems a perfect pick for those leftists.

He was a dreamer, and his dream was to stalk his conquests.

Sir this is about saving some other father from grieving about his daughter killed by illegal immigrants. She wasn't the 1st but we can keep trying to maker her the last. This is not a proclamation that all illegals are murders, however, there are a significant number of them that are vicious & dangerous criminals. Most in this country want the immigration problem solved. We are tired of people like you that want to soft peddle the problem and proclaim that it is a racist argument. It is not, it's a safety argument.

I actually don't have a problem with that statement. The issue at hand is that those who *are* a reflection of the respectful law-abiding Hispanic community are not the one stealing across the border illegally (multiple times) and committing crimes like taking Mollie's life within our country. These criminals need to disciplined and/or executed for their crimes. Their continued presence here is unwelcome.

Classic elevation of victims authority. Somehow, because Molly and maybe her family, thought that securing the border was racist; we all now have to think it’s racist.
Sorry, life doesn’t work that way. If we had a secure border, likely Molly would be alive.

Even though the death of my daughter perfectly illustrates your arguments against illegal aliens, because I disagree with you stance, stop reminding people how stupid my stance is.

She’s dead and buried and will not be mentioned by the end of the year. This attention seeker wants to be on TV again. What is the matter with people these days!

Liberals have called me racist many times because I oppose illegal immigration.
