Top GOP Fundraiser Linked To Land where Iowa Murder Suspect Lived

[suegeo]

Source: Chicago Tribune

A top Republican fundraiser whose firm works for several prominent immigration hardliners is the partial owner of the land where the Mexican man accused of killing Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts lived rent-free, a farm spokeswoman said Friday.

Nicole Schlinger has long been a key fundraiser and campaign contractor for GOP politicians in Iowa and beyond, including this cycle for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Virginia Senate candidate Corey Stewart.

Schlinger is the president of Campaign Headquarters, a call center that makes fundraising calls, identifies supporters and helps turn out voters for conservative candidates and groups. Her business is one of the largest in Brooklyn, the central Iowa town where Tibbetts disappeared while out for a run on July 18.

A top GOP Fundraiser let the accused killer to live on her land RENT FREE.

Her company also handles "telephone town halls" (see their website.) My annoying fascist congressman, Erik Paulsen, always does these phony things. Did my tax money go to pay this slimy GOP hypocrite firm to try to propagandize me? Nicole also worked for Minn. candidate Pawlenty in 2011.

I hate republicans.

1. OMG

I love this!!!!

[iluvtennis]

2. Wow. I heard on one of my political talk shows this morning that the immigrant

was legal and sponsored by a GOP'er. Wow.

They'll still spin it that this Molly would still be here if this "illegal immigrant' wasn't here.

Killers are killers, it has nothing to do with someone's citizenship status. So tired of the right wingers spinning the narrative.

3. facts just get in the way

4. When discussing Rivera with conservatives, always say 'republican illegal immigrant'.

When discussing Rivera with conservatives, always say 'republican illegal immigrant'.

8. Excellent suggestion!

[pecosbob]

5. This contradicts what I have read elsewhere

"Republicans such as President Donald Trump and Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds called for stricter immigration laws and enforcement almost immediately after Rivera, who is suspected of being in the country illegally, was charged Tuesday."

When the story broke the other day, I read that the company said their employee was in the country legally and had a green card and was lawfully employed. I even read the he was e-verified. Now the farming company says he gave them fake ID. Did the farming company provide the fake identification that they say he showed them? What's going on here?

[suegeo]

6. The Tribune article said nothing about the suspect being in Iowa illegally

There may be a caption under a "related story" picture, but the actual article doesn't call out anything about his legal/not legal status.

What I've read elsewhere is that the suspect perhaps used a false name, and when that was run thru an e-verify system, he came up clean/legal.

Then again, that is the story being told by the GOP-connected employer of the suspected murderer of Mollie Tibbetts (sp?).

That employer is thick-as-thieves with the party of Putin, so I don't believe any words they speak. The GOP is made up of liars and traitors.

17. Farming company didn't e-verify

They said they ran him through the E-Verify system saying he was legal. Turns out though they actually are not part of the system, so their story changed to him giving them false info.

From the newspaper article posted further down thread:

"Yarrabee Farms, Rivera’s employer, issued a statement Tuesday night saying Rivera was vetted through the government's E-Verify system. However, a government archive does not indicate the Brooklyn, Iowa, farm as a participating member of the system.

On Wednesday, officials from the farm acknowledged they did not use the E-Verify system and that Rivera gave them false information."

20. With all the different statements, I thought there was something fishy about the employment status

[suegeo]

26. Christ on the cross

I didn't hear about this. Thanks for the tip

[iluvtennis]

7. Cristhian Rivera's lawyer says he is here legally - here is the Des Moines Register link

Lawyer chides Trump, says suspect in Mollie Tibbetts' slaying worked in Iowa legally. Not true, says employer

....court document filed Wednesday morning states that the man accused of killing Mollie Tibbetts was working legally in Iowa, contradicting authorities' contention that he is an undocumented immigrant.

But officials at the Iowa dairy farm where the suspect worked offered information Wednesday afternoon that undermines the document's claim....

The headline of the link I posted here in my comment is contradictory. I believe the lawyers over the Trumpains.

[suegeo]

9. The headline of WHAT article is contradictory?

The headline of the Chicago Tribune article does not say anything about the suspected killers legal/not legal status.

Headline is: "Top GOP fundraiser tied to the land where Iowa murder suspect lived"
It does not say anything about legal status vs. not legal status.

[iluvtennis]

11. My apologies, not the article you posted. The title of the article I posted. Let me clean up

my comment

[suegeo]

14. It's cool, we're on the same side.

Hugs, if you want one.

[iluvtennis]

15. Thank you.

16. To me it sounds like his Republican employer is lying

[QUOTE]Yarrabee Farms, Rivera’s employer, issued a statement Tuesday night saying Rivera was vetted through the government's E-Verify system. However, a government archive does not indicate the Brooklyn, Iowa, farm as a participating member of the system.

On Wednesday, officials from the farm acknowledged they did not use the E-Verify system and that Rivera gave them false information.[/QUOTE]

Sounds like they hired him without bothering to check his status or they knew he was undocumented. They go from saying they used the E-Verify system specifically, which they are not a part of, to saying he gave false information. Those are two very different claims.

[RockRaven]

10. And the farm he worked at was co-owned by the brother of a GOP state-level politician

At least that's what I saw when it first happened. A candidate for State Secretary of Agriculture in 2018 I believe.

[Botany]

12. This has NOTHING TO DO WITH republicans, democrats, or immigration,

This was a cold blooded murder by a piece of crap. Do not bring politics
and or any other issues into it.

Sometimes some posts here make me

[iluvtennis]

13. I agree, murder is murder.

[Botany]

18. I had a friend of mine attacked and killed some years ago and I still hurt.

How anybody from any side can or would want to make this awful act about trying to help one
side and or hurt the other side is beyond me. The only things I want are:

* Grace and peace for the victim's family and friends.

* The victim's family and friends are given their space and time.

* The police and the judicial system get to do their jobs.

* The slime bucket who killed that women will get to spend the rest of his life in the unending hell
of doing hard time. The D.P. or suicide is too nice of a way to go for him.

19. Newt Gingrich: Mollie Tibbetts murder could help Republicans in midterms

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/aug/24/newt-gingrich-mollie-tibbetts-murder-could-help-re/

SNIP
Newt Gingrich said the murder of Mollie Tibbetts would help Republicans in the midterms, as investigations into her murder reveal she was allegedly killed by an undocumented immigrant.

Axios reported Wednesday that the former Speaker of the House emailed them to make sure there was coverage of the murder.
END SNIP

Newt Gingrich makes the Baby Jesus cry

[Botany]

21. Newt is pure trash

West Georgia University fired him the very 1st chance they got, he was fucking
around on wife #2 as he was after Bill Clinton for Monica and and the B.J., he
brought divorce papers to his 1st wife as she coming out of cancer treatments,
and he was run out of the congress on a rail for being a shit .... who cares what
he says and or does?

22. Steve King: 'Leftist' immigration policies contributed to Mollie Tibbetts' death

A republican/fascist Iowa Congressman blames this murder on leftists. (wrongly, but never-the-less, he did)

24. Steve King is a total fuck stick.

I hate him. About as much as I hate that orange fuck in the White House.

King makes all Iowans look like a bunch of inbred stooges who are only interested in having sex with farm animals, siblings, or parents. Every time he opens his mouth I have to fight down an urge to want to move out of Iowa.

[suegeo]

27. King is truly awful.

NW Iowa, ick

[joshcryer]

29. They started it.

And now they're reaping it.

[Snellius]

30. Unfortunately. Trump/Fox have already politically exploited this tragedy.

Even before the killer was IDed, pushing the bugaboo myth that without the white crusader hordes of brown killer aliens will be invited to flood in. Grave robbing the victim for political gain is as heinous as the crime. There is justification for talking about it just to prevent this kind of cynical propaganda again.

[kimbutgar]

23. He says he blacked out

Who’s to say he might have been set up and there is another murderer? Caveat...I watch too many if those Investigation discovery shows.

[suegeo]

25. I hear you

I read something about a "terrorist" drug that the bombers in Paris were on. Given the depravity of republicans, my thoughts went "there" with this Iowa killer for a moment. My caveat: I never trust anything a Republican says, the higher their position, the more I distrust.

[joshcryer]

28. Nicole Schlinger completely wiped her Twitter.

Got a screenshot of it though.

[liberal N proud]

31. That is a twist that is something republicans would do.
