In Iowa, the father of murdered college student Mollie Tibbetts is demanding politicians and white supremacists stop appropriating his daughter’s death to promote hate against immigrants. Authorities have charged an undocumented farmworker from Mexico with first-degree murder for her death. In an article for The Des Moines Register, Rob Tibbetts wrote, “Do not appropriate Mollie’s soul in advancing views she believed were profoundly racist. The act grievously extends the crime that stole Mollie from our family … The person who is accused of taking Mollie’s life is no more a reflection of the Hispanic community as white supremacists are of all white people.” Rob Tibbetts’s column comes only one day after the Register published a column by President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., in which he blamed Democrats for Tibbetts’s death.
