American Murdered by Illegal, Biden Eats Ice Cream

Laken Hope Riley was murdered last week in broad daylight by an illegal from Venezuela who crossed the border on Joe Biden's watch. Biden waited days to respond then laughed and ate ice cream.

To say what happened to Laken Hope Riley is a parent’s worst nightmare is an understatement. No tragedy in life compares to losing a child under any circumstances but to know the last face your beautiful daughter saw was that of a monster who never should’ve been in the country adds a layer of pain one cannot begin to imagine.

Americans share the grief of the parents, sister, and friends of Laken, murdered while on a jog near the campus of the University of Georgia last Thursday. The 22-year-old nursing student presumably believed she could go for a run in broad daylight in a relatively safe community without fear of losing her life in the process; what she didn’t realize at the time is how Joe Biden’s open borders policy threatens the safety of every American regardless of where we live, work, study, or exercise.

Police on Friday announced the arrest of Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan national who entered the country in 2022, on multiple charges including malice murder, kidnapping, and false imprisonment. Houston Gaines, a Georgia state representative, posted an overview of Ibarra’s criminal history on X:

As I observed on X, Ibarra was let off the hook in two states—New York and Georgia—currently wasting law enforcement resources on the criminal prosecution of Donald Trump.

Republicans including Georgia Governor Brian Kemp immediately blamed Laken’s murder on the Biden administration’s reckless approach, or lack thereof, to illegal immigration. “While the dangers of this crisis have never been theoretical, this week our state witnessed a devastating tragedy,” Kemp wrote to Biden on February 24, two days after law enforcement authorities found Laken’s body in a forested area near the intramural fields of the University of Georgia after her roommates called police concerned she had not returned from her morning jog. Kemp reminded Biden of his requests for data related to Biden’s asylum policies.

“Frankly, Mr. President, your silence on these reasonable requests is outrageous,” Kemp continued.

But Biden wasn’t just silent on inquiries by Kemp and other governors seeking information on the impact of the more than nine million illegals who have crossed the southern border since Biden took office. Biden, who never misses an opportunity to discuss—and often lie—about the circumstances of the untimely and tragic death of his son, Beau, remained silent throughout the weekend as the public expressed outrage and heartbreak over Laken’s murder.

On Monday afternoon, the White House released a brief and emotionless statement:

To make matters worse, Biden appeared at a New York City ice cream shop on Monday with comedian Seth Meyers; Biden, in the Big Apple to raise money for his campaign, sat for an interview with the “Late Night” host to commemorate the show’s 10-year anniversary.

Instead of offering personal condolences to Laken’s devastated family and community, Biden joked as he ate ice cream while taking a shot at his “good friend” Donald Trump, who is scheduled to appear at the southern border on Thursday at the same time Biden is expected to visit:

WATCH:

Even worse than Biden’s behavior while eating a child’s treat and ignoring the murder of a young woman is the fact that not a single reporter bothered to ask about it.
