Laken Riley’s name was not mentioned once by the border czar or any other Democrat at the Democratic National Convention. Riley was the young nursing student who was brutally murdered, allegedly by an illegal immigrant, in February — an illegal immigrant in the country because of policies prioritized and championed by the Biden-Harris administration. And while the manipulative Democratic propagandists at the DNC portrayed Vice President Kamala Harris as strong on border security, let alone someone who cares about it, none dared mention the name of Riley, a victim of Harris’s border security acumen.
This character revisionism is egregious on several fronts, the least of which being that Riley’s life mattered, except it didn’t seem to matter to anyone at the DNC. It didn’t seem to matter to anyone talking about the perils and dangers of violent illegal immigrants, and it didn’t matter to the border czar and vice president of the United States. Instead, they cared more about race hustling and parading the “Central Park Five,” people involved in an incident that happened in 1989, onstage. It was the typical Democratic deflection from their current policy failures.
