The parents of University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who was murdered last month by a Venezuelan migrant, have declined an invite to the State of The Union address from antisemitic MAGA Congressman Mike Collins, who now says he’ll leave a seat empty in the House chamber during the speech “to honor Americans he could have invited had their lives not been cut short by foreign criminals who had no business being in this country,” WSB-TV reports.
“As the president paints a rosy picture of the crime-ridden country he has created, he will see an empty seat in the gallery that memorializes those who are no longer with us because of his open border,” Collins wrote in a statement, plainly disappointed that, for now at least, the Rileys don’t want to be used as a prop for white nationalist xenophobia. “Did Joe Biden extend the family of Laken Riley an invitation to the State of the Union? Has he called? Has he written? One shred of human remorse for giving her alleged killer the freedom to kill?” Stephen Miller tweeted Wednesday.
