There is something very very wrong with Democrats and their media minions. How can the mayor of a city in which a nursing student was horrendously disfigured, raped, and murdered by an illegal alien—the campus’s first murder in 30 years—claim that illegal immigration is not a factor in her murder . . . by an illegal alien?
Sane people have no idea, but here he is, waffling on nonsensically.

The citizens and voters present were, of course, outraged by this out-of-touch lunacy.
Athens Mayor Girtz (D) just tried to shift away blame over Laken Riley’s death

Mayor of Athens, Ga. in the wake of the first murder at UGA in 30 yrs. Listed threats: Trump, Charlottesville, possible vitriol from American citizens to illegal immigrants. Not listed: Crime, murderers, his duty to citizens. He is the Norm joke. A blinkered, insane response. pic.twitter.com/tGtyWXpPzc

But this mayor is apparently a big supporter of BLM, too, so who’s really surprised that his reaction to George Floyd was different from a white girl being raped and beaten so badly she’s disfigured and then murdered.
Kelly Girtz is also a diehard BLM supporter. He had a very different response to the death of George Floyd than he did Laken Riley. https://t.co/fQnkuOR1Pw

It’s hard to see how Athens, Georgia, reelects this gaslighting nightmare of a mayor. But time will tell.
Athens, Georgia residents shout down Mayor Girtz at his disgraceful press conference today on Laken Riley:
“Please stop lying. You’re insulting our intelligence, sir! You need to resign. Resign! Resign now! Go away, resign. You allowed this to happen, sir. You voted for this.” https://t.co/ePajMVRC32 pic.twitter.com/cgIemhyBHw

Needless to say, people have thoughts.
Father who interrupted Democrat Mayor for protecting illegal migrants after death of Georgia student Laken Riley at the hands of an illegal goes OFF:
“This Mayor has violated his Oath of Office. He’s supposed to protect citizens of Athens, not illegal criminal aliens.”???? pic.twitter.com/MTGGz7mcc4

I can’t even fathom how he said some of the disgusting things he said. He should have to endure the pain that Lakens family is going through!!

Absolutely sickening display of deflection and lies. Wow. https://t.co/yJ0j437pTe

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting.
To stand there and say illegal immigration and crime are not connected is beyond foolish. If the border was secure Ms. Riley would be alive today, instead she died at the hands of an illegal immigrant. She is not the only one.Electing people… https://t.co/NGOclj2J7M

Electing people like this is one reason, and a major one, why we are overrun with illegal migrants.
and anti Trump Rhetoric. don’t forget the anti trump angle. this murder, according to this mayor, is trump’s fault.

And yes, Athens, Georgia, is a proud sanctuary city. Well, sort of.
In 2019, Athens City Council passed a resolution to become a sanctuary city and welcoming of everyone regardless of their documentation status.
Mayor Girtz (D) himself announced it.

If the border wasn’t open and Athens, GA wasn’t a “sanctuary city” Laken Riley would still be alive, and no amount of BS they spew can change that fact. F**k this guy. https://t.co/pZm2Wgqgms
