US Politics, murder mention (-)
so the new conservative talking point this week is to blame the immigration system for the murder of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts.
Newt Gingrich used the opportunity to say "We are living in two alternate political universes," or to paraphrase "how can you worry about Manafort-Cohen when illegal immigrants are killing college girls?"
Please don't fall for this equivalency, the power dynamics in these situations are totally different, it's a trap.
