I can chew gum and walk at the same time.
ICE killing Renee and Alex are absolute fascist crimes and need to be fully persecuted.
Also, fuck this lady and her Trump voting ass.
Trump incited an insurrection that KILLED people, did she mourn those as well when she voted for that orange piece of shit??
Only a trump voter would be dumb enough to reveal that after what's happened.
This is nothing more than divisive ragebait. Who gives a shit? The story should be that ICE has murdered several innocent people, bystanders, and got away with it. While you're at each other's throats, they keep getting away with it.
No, fuck that, Republicans need to face the fact that the people they vote for will kill their children. She voted for anti-immigrant violence, and she got what she voted for. Let her be a warning to others.
True, but you can't deny the irony.
This, so this. Keep your heads people and react to the crimes, not the rage bait.
I don't agree that this is rage bait. I think these people need to see shit like this. It's the only fucking way these people can ever seem to learn anything.
They need to be shown that there are consequences for voting in and supporting fascists, and they're not immune simply because they support the people doing it.
Yeah, you're probably right. I know journalists often find new angles for important stories to keep them relevant, rather than simply repeating the same details, this seems more like whats happening here.
“It’s torture that as her mom and as her family, we could not protect Renee,” the mother testified, clearly emotional. “But no one can protect against others who are determined to disregard our country’s constitutional rules and values.”
No, she definitely could have protected Renee by not voting for someone determined to disregard our country's constitutional rules and values.
Might even go so far as to say not voting for someone who had already proven disregard for the constitution before voting for them.
You know she isn't referring to Trump when she says this. It's people like Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino who were going rogue and doing all of this against Trump's orders.
He loves and cares about Americans and only wants to protect us from the scary immigrants.
With MAGA people, the buck stops literally anywhere but with Trump. Nothing bad is ever his fault.
And it seems she didn't learn anything from the experience.
She definitely doesn't seem interested in taking accountability for her actions
I would bet my next paycheck that this woman stays Republican, and continues voting R religiously. At most, they'll skip one election.
After reading the entire article, I see nothing in there that suggests that she will reconsideranything.
The vibe I get from her quotes is that she's one of those special kinds of idiots who believe these things are happening without Trump's approval, and it was really people like Bovino and Noem who were doing these things against Trump's wishes.
Trump actually really wants what's best for Americans, and it's these individual cabinet members who are going rogue and doing the bad things.
It's a fucking mental illness at this point.
I don’t want to victim blame here. No one deserves to have their child shot and killed.
I will say that it’s tragic that it took this for her mom to realize the impact of her actions.
“I’m so upset now that it impacts me personally” —literally every republican
Because they lack empathy, they literally do not have the capacity to project themselves into someone else's shoes and feel for them unless they experience it themselves.
Per usual, supporters of the far-right only change their tune when the fallout personally affects them.
And only within the duration of that experience.
You voted to kill your own daughter.
Heres hoping she has a long life with every day filled with the inescapable horror of what she did and is responsible for.
Naw, she will be like the guy who shot and killed his daughter in Texas over an argument about Trump. She will take a pill, make herself a strong drink, and move on with her life.
She will be back in line ready to vote maga again as soon as she can I’m sure.
Knowing now that her daughter was dating a woman when she died, and knowing MAGA bigotry, one has to wonder if this isnt all a show for pity and attention
Narccissist gonna narccissist
Well she's certainly having the day she voted for.
“This is madness,” she concluded.
This is America that you voted for.
No, the America she voted for was for this to be happening to poors and browns.
Not her precious white daughter
Everyone and their dog knew this would happen. Only ignorant and blind morons would have assumed the Trump administration would only go after "illegals".
Oh by the way, it's not a criminal offence to be in a country illegally. It's a civil matter. Being an illegal immigrant should not be a death sentence.
Only ignorant and blind morons would have assumed the Trump administration would only go after “illegals”.
Sure, but they likely did assume the admin would mostly not do this to white citizens too.
See my "ignorant and blind morons" comment. We all knew they would do this to white people too. If you let a completely unckeched authority full reign to create and cause chaos, that chaos will spread to everyone, not just the "illegals".
You voted for your daughter’s murder, you treasonous monster
RIP Renee. Zero sympathy for the stupid mother. Donna voted for the violence and racism.
Only after receiving this new information did Trump admit he “felt terribly” about the shooting, adding, “I understand both sides of it.”
Art of the Deal, Chapter 10: "If You Kiss My Ass Enough, I Might Throw You a Bone"
"I only voted for brown people to suffer!"
"The leopards ate my daughter's face"
"I voted for you to hurt OTHER people, not the people I like"
So this is ACTUALLY EXACTLY what she Wanted to Happen! GOOD for Her for Getting her Wishes!
Gotta be tough to know you killed your own child through your fucked decisions.
That dumb bitch is responsible for the death of her daughter. I hope it tears her up.
I also hope that she steps on lego every day for the rest of her life.
Did she learn?
I’m a registered Republican. I voted for President Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the United States — innocents like our family and the others here — against terrorists
She was hoping ICE would kill brown people, not her openly LGBTQ+ daughter.
I hope she lives the rest of her life with people reminding her that she is the reason her daughter is dead.
shes a trump voter that didnt care until the repercussions hit her and her home.
at best its a 50/50 chance that she learned anything deep down.
