The father of slain University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts lashed out Saturday at those who are using her tragic death to promote their own political agendas. To do so is despicable and heartless, Rob Tibbetts wrote, throwing Donald Trump Jr.s own words back at him in an opinion piece in the Des Moines Register.
Tibbetts said the family was grateful to those who respected their pleas to not turn his daughters death into a political confrontation.
Sadly, others have ignored our request, he wrote. They have instead chosen to callously distort and corrupt Mollies tragic death to advance a cause she vehemently opposed.
