Trump using Tibbetts' murder to promote HIS ideas.

[AnAmericanDarling]

He is such a sick individual. First of all, the young man who is suspected of the murder, the Trump administration just assumes he may be an illegal immigrant - has Trump - a man seemingly with no morals - not heard of a suspect who was white? There are plenty of murderers who are white, Trump.

Second, he's politicizing this death. Instead of being gracious and standing at a podium and giving condolences to the family or even calling the family like Obama sometimes used to do for a victimized family (funny, he'd do stuff like that, and he was black), Trump, instead is using this murder to promote his racist and anti-immigration ideas.

Mollie Tibbetts should be resting peacefully and the family should be left alone from the media at this point. Instead, Trump brings more attention to them. Thank you for your sensitivity, asshole.

He can't politicize a male stalker turned violent, so he has to make it into a bad immigrant story. Of course his fan base and his apologists will suck it up.

 

[KeithD]

Not that Trump has noticed that her family has asked that her death not be politicized.

Somebody left three wet diapers on the floor of this thread.

Much like Obama with Trayvon Martin and Dennis Brown, except the Tibbetts case is actually murder.

And yet you can't bring yourself to criticize your cult leader for doing it, can you?


Just the usual fake whataboutism.

He didn't mind when Obama did it either, I'm sure :gianteyroll:

It's NOT "whataboutism". Just play fair. Obama obscenely politicized the black criminals who got popped. You established the standard. You're guilty of a double standard.

It's the definition of whataboutism.

No, it's you and Box being disgusting. This is today. This is happening now--and you are being mealy-mouthed about it.

I have no trouble criticizing The Donald and have very little good to say about him. One of his bugbears is illegal immigration, but I'm not sure if this was an illegal or not.

Have you ever said anything negative about Obama?

On the first, you had your chance to be decent and you muffed it.

On the second, of course I have--and in posts you responded to. You have the brain of a gerbil. Back to whataboutism, I see.

"Mollie Tibbetts should be resting peacefully and the family should be left alone from the media at this point. Instead, "

Here you are.

You should be so proud.

It's been known since they caught him that he was here illegally so I really don't get what you mean by this or about somebody being white. I mean it's not like this hasn't been front page news since they caught him.

His lawyer says otherwise, I'm still waiting to see what that's all about.

Agreed. Ramone and Que seem to be devoted to redefining "whataboutism" every single time they're called out on it.

Trayvon Martin killed Fed 26.
Obama's first comments about the shooting, when asked by reporters to comment - March 23 (almost a month later)

He cautioned that his comments would be limited because the Justice Department was investigating. But he talked at length about his personal feelings about the case.

“I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this,” Mr. Obama said. “All of us have to do some soul searching to figure out how does something like this happen.”

“Obviously, this is a tragedy. I can only imagine what these parents are going through,” Mr. Obama said, his face grim. “When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids.”

“You know, if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” Mr. Obama said, pausing for a moment. “I think they are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves, and we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.”

“I’m the head of the executive branch, and the attorney general reports to me,” Mr. Obama said. “So I’ve got to be careful about my statements to make sure that we’re not impairing any investigation that’s taking place right now.”

Yup, he sure politicized it.

Here we have Trump's very typical very first comment about the train crash in Seattle that killed several people

"The train accident that just occurred in DuPont, WA shows more than ever why our soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly," tweeted Trump. "Seven trillion dollars spent in the Middle East while our roads, bridges, tunnels, railways (and more) crumble! Not for long!"

Before you jump on the whataboutism you might want to do a bit of fact checking.

edit to add:
Even his first comment was a lie since his "plan" cut substantial dollars from railroads.

would you think the same if an illegal murdered one of yours

I don't know about AmericanDarling, but if one did I wouldn't blame all illegal aliens because I know they commit crimes at a lower rate than citizens. But even if they committed them at the same rate I wouldn't blame all.

Just like if an NRA member killed one of my family I wouldn't blame all NRA members.
Or if a cop murdered one, I wouldn't blame all cops.

You're "whataboutism" is a double standard, and you know it.

Trayvon Martin
Hands up don't shoot

What do we want? Dead cops!
When do we want them? NOW!

Let she who is without sin cast the first stone when it comes to politicizing death, usually before any facts can come out...

 

[SpeareChucker]

There is no distinction between who commented when.

Remember Skip Gates?
That was right out of the gate.
This is probably why he waited to speak.
But he didn't need to, the press and the left labeled Zimmerman guilty right out of the gate.
They even put "white hispanic" into our lexicon even as they were editing tapes to implicate him and President Obama didn't once pipe up and suggest maybe we shouldn't be so quick to lynch the guy, he just kept quiet in the face of injustice.
I don't care that Trump is weighing in, everyone and his brother is spouting off on the case.

If the suspect is brown, it's let's close our borders. If the suspect is black, it's let's send troops down to those inner cities. If the suspect is Muslim, it's let's push that ban.

Suspect is the "right" color? Nary an utter, or at minimum, a simple "prayer".

He is also stupid, he doesn't know that this may interfere with the trial, introducing bias.

Yes, he is using this to drive his xenophobic platform and give meat to his blood-thirsty braindead racist ass base. How sick could one be?

Only a sociopathic idiot like Trump would do something like this
