Trump and seditionist @tedcruz wasted no time trying to pin the 2017 death of a border agent on immigrants (the FBI later found no foul play): npr.org/sections/thetw…
But not a peep from Trump today after an officer was killed due to the violent mob he incited.
But not a peep from Trump today after an officer was killed due to the violent mob he incited.
NPR in 2018: "Shortly after the incident, President Trump tweeted, 'Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border, another badly hurt. We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and must, build the Wall!'"
Seditionist "@tedcruz, R-Texas, tweeted that the incident was 'a stark reminder of the ongoing threat that an unsecure border poses.' Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, the agents' union, concluded the agents were brutally beaten with rocks."
"The FBI says it has found no foul play," countering "hasty conclusions by some conservative politicians and law enforcement figures who assumed unauthorized immigrants committed a brutal murder in the lawless borderlands."
