Media’s Already Putting a Predictable Spin on Tragic Story of Illegal Alien Arrested for Murder – Twitchy

As we told you last night, there’s been another tragic example of the consequences from the previous administration’s open border policies combined with Democrat sanctuary city insanity. The results have been disastrous and, sadly, these kinds of stories keep coming. Here’s the latest: 

This appears to be Laken Riley 2.0.

Yet another Venezuelan illegal alien allowed into the country by the Biden administration, then released again by a sanctuary jurisdiction on a shoplifting arrest, now accused of murdering an innocent young American college student. https://t.co/1s2SyBHBXC

Remember when you’re waiting in a four-hour TSA line that it’s because Democrats are fighting to keep people like this on the streets of U.S. cities.

Predictably the media’s doing their thing again. We’ve seen reports about a “Maryland man,” “children’s chaplain” and “Alabama social worker,” and all those terms were used to describe people in the U.S. illegally. The Democrats certainly appreciate the narrative assistance. 

Here we go again: 

Chicago Tribune is describing the Venezuelan illegal alien in custody for murdering Sheridan Gorman as a “Rogers Park man”. https://t.co/kVW74hxxlj

Let’s fix the post for the Tribune: Chicago police have arrested a 25-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela who is accused of murdering a Loyola U. student. He entered the country via Biden’s open border and was on the streets of Chicago due to Democrats sanctuary city polices. 

Guess they’ll be meeting with him over margaritas soon🤦🏼‍♀️

It won’t be surprising if other media outlets pick up the “Rogers Park man” approach in their headlines.
