President Trump honored the life of 22-year-old Laken Riley during his Saturday rally in Rome, Georgia. He spoke directly to her family and friends in attendance, mentioning them by name. He told the story of her life, including her childhood dream of becoming a nurse.
Trump shared some of the wonderful things that Laken’s loved ones told him about her life and how she was always “the brightest light in every room.”
He told the family, “We share your grief,” adding, “We vow to keep Laken’s memory alive for as long as we are here on this earth, and we take comfort that she is now home with God in heaven.”
He somberly recounted the day she tragically lost her life at the hands of a Venezuelan illegal migrant who was only in the United States because of Joe Biden’s radical policies at the southern border.
He could not hide the anger on his face when telling the crowd about Biden’s apology for calling Laken’s murderer an illegal alien instead of an undocumented person during his State of the Union address.
Trump said that the illegal alien “shouldn’t have been in our country—and he NEVER would have been under the Trump policy.”
