Former President Donald Trump argued Monday that President Biden is to blame for the brutal rape and murder of Maryland mom Rachel Morin because of his refusal to “shut down the border.”
The 37-year-old mother of five was killed on a Bel Air, Md., hiking trail on Aug. 5, 2023, by Victor Martinez-Hernandez, a migrant from El Salvador, according to police.
Martinez-Hernandez, 23, illegally crossed into the US in February 2023. He was arrested in Tulsa, Okla., on Friday after police matched his DNA to the gruesome crime scene.
Morin, 37, was hiking along a trail in Maryland when she was raped and murdered by a migrant who entered the country illegally, according to police. John Morin“ANOTHER one of Crooked Joe Biden’s Illegal Immigrant Criminals was just charged with raping and murdering ANOTHER innocent American woman!” Trump, 78, raged on Truth Social.
The presumptive Republican nominee for president likened Morin’s slaying to the February murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, whose alleged killer also entered the US illegally.
“Rachel Morin was on a run in Maryland, just like Laken Riley was in Georgia, when she was brutally killed by an illegal monster who was wanted for murder in El Salvador and fled to the USA because he knew Crooked Joe would let him in,” Trump wrote. “Now Rachel Morin’s 5 young children will grow up without their mother because Crooked Joe refuses to shut down the border.”
