‘Holy shlit’: No Soul Karine Jean-Pierre slammed over callous response to Laken Riley’s death

March 1, 2024 | | Print Article

An entire nation shifted, literally and physically, in response to the death of a black drug addict with a long history of crime who died with a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system. Yet there has been no such response to the death of a white Georgia nursing student who died at the hands of an illegal immigrant whom the NYPD released for an earlier crime before ICE could issue a detainer.

In fact, when it comes to the Biden administration, which has a rich history of kneeling at the altar of George Floyd, the response to the death of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old Augusta University student, has been described as “repugnant.”

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about Republicans blaming President Joe Biden for Riley’s death during an appearance Thursday on CNN, and her response was shocking to the conscious.

“So, first of all, I want to offer our condolences to the family of Laken. I mean, this is a horrific, horrific loss for any family. And obviously, any — if whoever is found guilty we need to make sure that — make sure that happens,” KJP said. “And obviously, we don’t want to see anything happen like that again.”

And that was it. The president’s diversity hire then shifted to politics, saying, “But here’s the thing. We have done the work to make sure we’re dealing with a broken immigration system. The Republicans have gotten in the way. They have gotten in the way. And that’s what we continue to see over and over and over again.”

After nearly 10 million illegal immigrants have entered the country under Biden, it’s stunning that the administration is now blaming the GOP for not supporting legislation that codifies illegal immigration and does little to secure the border.

It has now been a week since Riley was killed and Biden, who repeatedly paid homage to George Floyd, has yet to comment on her death — the president ignored a question called out during Thursday’s photo-op visit to the border about whether he had “any responsibility for Laken Riley’s death.”

Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who entered the U.S. in 2022, was arrested for Riley’s death — authorities say her skull was disfigured in the attack.

Former President Donald Trump announced Thursday during his visit to the border that he spoke to the parents of Riley, whom he described as “an incredible young lady.”

“The parents are devastated and they’re incredible people,” Trump said. “This is a Joe Biden invasion. A Biden invasion. I call him crooked Joe… the most incompetent president we’ve ever had.”
