Trump Offers Compassionate Support to Grieving Mother, Highlights Biden Administration's Indifference

In a heartfelt gesture, former President Trump extended his condolences to Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin, a mother of five allegedly raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant from El Salvador. This compassionate act stood in stark contrast to the Biden administration’s apparent indifference.

Patty Morin expressed her gratitude on Wednesday, noting the lack of outreach from Biden officials following the arrest of Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, 23. He was apprehended last Friday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and charged with first-degree murder and first-degree rape in connection with Rachel Morin's tragic death last August while she was jogging on the Ma and Pa hiking trail in Bel Air, Maryland.

“I am deeply touched by President Trump’s kindness and concern,” Patty Morin told The New York Post. “He was genuine and truly wanted to know how our family was coping. He asked about Rachel and showed honest compassion for her untimely death. His words brought comfort to me during this very difficult time.”

In stark contrast, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, when questioned by CNN's Jim Acosta, refused to mention Rachel Morin by name. “Jim, first and foremost, of course our hearts break for the children, the family, the loved ones, the friends of the individual who was murdered — the woman — the mother. Jim, a criminal is responsible for the criminal act. The criminal who committed this heinous act should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law, and forcefully so. That is my response,” Mayorkas stated.

Patty Morin criticized Mayorkas for his impersonal response. “It’s a completely political statement … It totally depersonalizes her and makes her an object. … No one has contacted me personally and as far as I know, no one has reached out and contacted anyone in the family. … To categorize her as a statistic, it just shows how impersonal they are and how they don’t value life.”

The Morin family attorney, Randolph Rice, echoed her sentiments, highlighting the administration's disconnection from the realities of the southern border crisis. “They are hemorrhaging at the southern border and they’re arguing about what kind of band-aid to put on it when instead they should be putting a tourniquet on it and stopping this flow so that we don’t have another Rachel Morin.”

This incident underscores the ongoing challenges and tragic consequences of the current administration’s border policies, bringing to light the urgent need for more stringent measures to protect American lives.
