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.
Democrats wanted to deflect from Harris’s failures on immigration and do everything possible to hide them from the public. Harris and her Democratic handlers want voters to forget about Riley. Her life wasn’t important to them when she was living, so it matters even less now that she was murdered and could be a political albatross on Harris’s election chances. So Harris and the DNC seek to deflect, divide, and distract rather than be honest. It’s indicative of the divisive neo-Marxist principles that make up the Democratic political platform in this country.
However, no amount of deflection, division, or distraction can truly shield Harris from her previous comments and political record in dealing with illegal immigration. She had the blood on her hands of the murder victims of illegal immigrants from two decades earlier. She’s made a career out of protecting criminal illegal immigrants who murder innocent people. Riley was just one of the most recent who suffered because of the radical and dangerous policies Harris embraced.
About 20 years before Riley, there were the victims of Edwin Ramos. He was an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who was previously convicted of attempted robbery, assaulting a pregnant woman, and illegally possessing a firearm. During her time as district attorney, Harris protected Ramos from being deported. She helped keep a criminal illegal alien in the U.S.
Predictably, Ramos’s crime spree didn’t stop after Harris’s help. Several years later, Ramos killed Tony Bologna and his two adolescent sons, Michael and Matthew, and tried to kill Bologna’s other son, Andrew, who survived and was the witness who testified that Ramos murdered his father and two brothers. Harris could have prevented it, but she prioritized her extreme, dangerous, and radical political beliefs instead and let Ramos’s evil and criminal soul roam free within the country.
No one should believe Harris will be tough on border security or illegal immigrants. She’s done more to harm the lives of innocent people than she has to hold illegal immigrants accountable. Democrats are lying to the country and spreading misinformation throughout the nation to hide Harris’s faults and sins. Because while innocent fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters have had to pay the price of the dangerous, radical beliefs of Harris, the woman now vying to become the leader of the free world, has never been held accountable for the murderers her policies helped unleash in the country.

Laken Riley’s life mattered. So did the lives of Tony Bologna, Michael Bologna, and Matthew Bologna. So, too, did the lives of the Riley and Bologna families that Harris helped ruin.
Those lives just didn’t matter to Kamala Harris.
