Mollie Tibbetts' Family: Lawmakers Need To Stop Politicizing Her Death!

Murder victim's father tells Donald Trump and his allies to back off using his daughter as a scapegoat in their war against immigrants.
The man who is being held on the murder of Mollie Tibbetts isn't going to get a fair trial because of the media politicizing her death. Her family gave a warning shot to those who think its right to use her name in the 2018 Midterms.

The father of the murdered woman penned an op-ed in the Des Moines Register. Rob Tibbetts, I salute you and hope the best. I don't offer prayers and condolences. For you see, you don't know me personally. I rather see that the person who killed your daughter gets convicted and sentenced for his actions. Although it will not bring your daughter back and the man who killed her will lose the opportunity to see his daughter grow up, I want you to know that forgiveness is hard.

I had to forgive the mother of my child for not telling me that she had my son four months after she gave birth. It was extremely hard, but I slowly move forward knowing that my son will not harbor the anger of those who exploit death of innocent people for political pawns. As you said it best:

Mollie Tibbetts was nobody's victim. Nor is she a pawn in others' debate

Rob specifically aimed at Donald Trump, Jr., the son of America's dumbest leader, Donald J. Trump is embarking on a campaign that will uses Tibbetts and her murderer as scapegoats.

The Register got the goods and its certainly a rabble rousing opinion about the state of politics.

[Our] family set out to celebrate Mollie’s extraordinary life and chose to share our sorrow in private. At the outset, politicians and pundits used Mollie’s death to promote various political agendas. We appealed to them and they graciously stopped. For that, we are grateful.

Sadly, others have ignored our request. They have instead chosen to callously distort and corrupt Mollie’s tragic death to advance a cause she vehemently opposed. 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."

What Rob was referring to was the previous op-ed made by Donnie criticizing the Democrats, weak Republicans and the junk food media for not getting on board with the imbecile's "strong arm" immigration policies.

He also opened up about bow the junk food media turned his daughter's death into a circus. He said that there's thousands of other missing people in the country that never got the coverage his daughter gotten.

He added, "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. Justice in my America is blind. This person will receive a fair trial, as it should be. If convicted, he will face the consequences society has set. Beyond that, he deserves no more attention. 
America's biggest troll exploits Mollie Tibbetts' death for a few political talking points.
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. We treasure the contribution you bring to the American tapestry in all its color and melody. And yes, we love your food.

My stepdaughter, whom Mollie loved so dearly, is Latina. Her sons — Mollie’s cherished nephews and my grandchildren — are Latino. That means I am Hispanic. I am African. I am Asian. I am European. My blood runs from every corner of the Earth because I am American. As an American, I have one tenet: to respect every citizen of the world and actively engage in the ongoing pursuit to form a more perfect union.

Given that, to knowingly foment discord among races is a disgrace to our flag. It incites fear in innocent communities and lends legitimacy to the darkest, most hate-filled corners of the American soul. It is the opposite of leadership. It is the opposite of humanity. It is heartless. It is despicable. It is shameful.

We have the opportunity now to take heed of the lessons that Mollie, John McCain and Aretha Franklin taught — humanity, fairness and courage. For most of the summer, the search for Mollie brought this nation together like no other pursuit. There was a common national will that did transcend opinion, race, gender and geography. Let’s not lose sight of that miracle. Let’s not lose sight of Mollie.
The suspect is held on murder charges and will likely get LIFE if convicted.
Instead, let’s turn against racism in all its ugly manifestations both subtle and overt. Let’s turn toward each other with all the compassion we gave Mollie. Let’s listen, not shout. Let’s build bridges, not walls. Let’s celebrate our diversity rather than argue over our differences. I can tell you, when you’ve lost your best friend, differences are petty and meaningless.

My family remains eternally grateful to all those who adopted Mollie so completely and showered us with so much care, compassion and generosity. Please accept our desire to remain private as we share our loss. We love Mollie with all our hearts and miss her terribly. We need time."

Trust me, his words will fall on deaf ears.

Dan Patrick, the buffoon lieutenant governor of Texas, that old fart Rush Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Tucker "Peckerwood" Carlson and Florida gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis used Mollie's name in their attacks against the Democrats.

Dog whistle politics is the only thing Republicans got. And hopefully, they weapon will be their undoing.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He will face up to LIFE in the iron college. He was an undocumented worker who allegedly got upset over Mollie rejecting his advances.
