MSNBC NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE AIR AND BURIED IN THE ASH HEAP OF HISTORY

MAUREEN CALLAHAN: The odious ghouls at MSNBC have just desecrated Laken Riley's grave... and proven why Trump deserved to win

Sick, sick, sick. The only person who never stood a chance was Laken Riley.

 

'Laken Riley's killer never stood a chance.'

That was the actual headline on MSNBC's website Friday morning, topping a piece sympathetic to the illegal migrant who savagely attempted to rape Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student, before bashing her head in and killing her.

Sick, sick, sick. The only person who never stood a chance was Laken Riley.

But that's the far-left for you, failing to learn a single lesson from the drubbing they took on Election Day.

Failing to be humbled, failing to self-examine, failing to detach from their simplistic, reductive orthodoxy that racializes everything, including a horrific, wholly preventable crime that took the life of a promising young woman.

MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos wrote this indefensible piece, lamenting that the killer caught 'no breaks' in his bench trial, and that the defense 'apparently had no chance with the judge, either'.

In case the expressed sympathy wasn't apparent, the original headline made that clear — until, that is, a torrent of online outrage, including from Joe Rogan, who tweeted 'What the f*** is this sh**'.

WTF, indeed.

 

'Laken Riley's killer never stood a chance.' That was the actual headline on MSNBC's website Friday morning, topping a piece sympathetic to the illegal migrant who savagely attempted to rape Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student, before bashing her head in and killing her.

MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos wrote this indefensible piece, lamenting that the killer caught 'no breaks' in his bench trial, and that the defense 'apparently had no chance with the judge, either'. (Pictured: Jose Ibarra in court).

 

Riley's killer, Jose Ibarra, is a member of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. He sat in court with the bored, sometimes aggravated expression of the career criminal he is, but MSNBC would have you shed tears for him.

And this newsroom wonders why parent company Comcast is looking to be rid of it.

Ibarra has a lengthy rap sheet, including an arrest in September 2023, in New York City — where he was living for free in Midtown's once-posh Roosevelt Hotel — for 'acting in a manner to injure a child' aged under 17, as well as for a 'motor vehicle violation'.

What did the NYPD do? Cut him loose, of course.

That's District Attorney Alvin Bragg's New York for you, run and ruined, as so many other formerly great American cities, by soft-on-crime liberal policies and a welcome mat laid out, cash and pre-paid cards stuffed underneath, for all manner of violent illegal immigrants.

After Ibarra's arrest in September, the Biden-Harris administration rewarded him with a free flight to Georgia, to see his brother, which they deemed 'humanitarian'.

Five months later, he assaulted and murdered Laken Riley. Yet Georgia's feckless, ultra-leftist DA Deborah Gonzalez, who later removed herself from this case, refused to seek the death penalty for Ibarra.

Her concern, she said, was for 'collateral consequences to undocumented immigrants'.

For anyone still wondering why Donald Trump won the election, this is why.

Americans are sick of leftist garbage polluting our courts, our politics and our media — a media in which nomenclature has become more important than anything else, even the loss of innocent human life.

Here was President Biden on, yes, MSNBC in March, after mangling Riley's name during his State of the Union address — an attempt that came only after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene yelled, 'Say her name!' from the gallery.

Biden had his regrets, but they did not involve poor Laken.

No: The sitting US president, an international embarrassment, was only sorry that he had used the wrong terminology to describe Riley's killer.

'I shouldn't have used "illegal",' Biden told the insufferably smug Jonathan Capehart. 'It's "undocumented".'

Capehart: 'So you regret using that word?'

Biden: 'Yes.'

Of course MSNBC is being spun off into the sun. Of course they're shedding eyeballs and relevance by the day.

 

For anyone still wondering why Donald Trump won the election, this is why. (Pictured: Biden at his State of the Union address in March).

 

Rachel Maddow, their biggest star, just took a humiliating $5 million pay cut. Meanwhile, shameless hypocrites Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski just groveled before Trump, a man they spent months calling a Nazi, a fascist, and a killer of women.

Jose Ibarra is an actual killer, but the brain trust at MSNBC still doesn't get it. Nor do they care to.

Here was Maddow, along with race-baiter Joy Reid and former Biden press secretary-slash-mediocrity Jen Psaki on Super Tuesday in March, insulting Trump voters in Virginia who named 'the border and immigration' their No. 1 issue.

You know, those toothless, illiterate racist hicks that mystify the otherwise kind, inclusive, non-bigoted liberals at MSNBC who consider incorrect pronouns an act of violence.

'Trump has indoctrinated people with this fear of people who don't look like them being a threat to them,' Psaki said.

'Well,' Maddow said, 'Virginia does have a border with West Virginia.'

The ever-predictable Reid: 'They're voting on race. They're voting on this idea of an invasion of brown people over the border.'

Three months later, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was kidnapped, sexually assaulted, tortured for hours, strangled, then thrown in a creek in Texas by two illegal Venezuelan migrants.

One of her killers was wearing an ankle monitor courtesy of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, for all the good that did.

But to MSNBC and their declining faithful, concerns about the open border, and the killings of innocent girls and women, are apparently racist. Full stop.

Even none other than their demigod, Bill Clinton, said that if illegal migrants had 'all been properly vetted' by the Biden-Harris administration, Riley's murder 'probably wouldn't have happened'. And that was while ostensibly stumping for Kamala!

But MSNBC would have us forget how Laken Riley suffered, or how deeply her parents suffer now.

On Tuesday, prosecutors laid out a tick-tock of Riley's final moments, from setting out on her morning jog at about 9.03 am, then activating her phone's 911 function minutes later, while Ibarra attempted to rape her.

According to Riley's smartwatch, she fought Iberra for 18 minutes. That is an extremely long time.

Frustrated, he finally smashed her skull in with a rock and strangled her, leaving her breasts and genitals exposed.

This is a man who never should have been in the United States. This is why every branch of government has gone red.

Riley, prosecutors said, 'fought for her dignity… Her encounter with him was long. Her fight with him was fierce.'

Riley's fight left Iberra's DNA under her fingernails. His guilt has never been in question.

But Tuesday's testimony, which included crime scene photos and details from the autopsy, was so devastating that Riley's mother left the courtroom for the day.

Still, shameless liberal mouthpieces would have us believe that Riley's assault and murder is no big deal.

Just as Martha Raddatz of ABC News (what a joke) scolded JD Vance last month, saying that only 'a handful' of apartment complexes in Colorado had been overtaken by Venezuelan gang members carrying long guns.

'Martha,' Vance asked incredulously, 'do you hear yourself?'

That's the only question anyone with common sense is asking MSNBC and all ultra-progressive media: Do you, in fact, hear yourself?

Because most of us can no longer bear to listen.
