In a surprising turn of events, a former Donald Trump campaign aide, A.J. Delgado, is pointing fingers at her ex-boss, Trump, for the tragic murder of a nursing student in Georgia. While many have been quick to blame President Joe Biden due to the suspect being an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela, Delgado suggests that the real culprit may be Trump himself.
Delgado, known for her previous accusations against Trump aide Jason Miller, is now shedding light on the case of Laken Riley, a nursing student allegedly killed by a Venezuelan immigrant. Contrary to the prevailing narrative, Delgado asserts that the responsibility may lie with Trump rather than Biden.
She takes to social media to express her viewpoint, noting, “You’re going to see a lot of #MAGA folks on here, who are claiming that Biden has ‘blood on his hands’ due to the suspect in the Atlanta nursing student’s murder being an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who reportedly arrived in 2022.” However, she adds a surprising twist with a simple yet impactful “Except… whoops.”
Delgado goes on to elaborate on Trump’s role in the situation, revealing a significant move he made on his way out of office in January 2021. She points out that Trump created a special category for Venezuelans, akin to Cubans, making it highly attractive for them to seek refuge in the United States. According to Delgado, this decision was driven by the Right’s perception of Venezuelans as victims of socialism, especially appealing to Republicans in Florida.
While not passing judgment on whether it was a good or bad idea, Delgado emphasizes, “The point is, it was TRUMP who signed an order basically making it HUGELY enticing for Venezuelans to make their way to America (often via the southern border). A year later, this guy came in.”
In her concluding remarks, Delgado raises the question of blame, acknowledging that it could be directed at Democrats. However, she contends that Trump bears a heavier burden because his motivation behind the order was to repay favors to wealthy Venezuelans in Florida. According to her, this illustrates a fundamental flaw in Trump’s leadership – prioritizing personal interests over duty.
Former federal and state prosecutor Ron Filipkowski seems to support Delgado’s perspective, responding to a quote from the former president by stating, “Well, they’ve been accusing Joe Biden all day of murder because his DHS followed the asylum policy you implemented for Venezuelans.”
In a narrative that deviates from the expected, Delgado’s assertions add a layer of complexity to the discussion surrounding the tragic incident, emphasizing the importance of considering Trump’s policies and motivations in the broader context of the situation, as per Raw Story.
