Trump calls the mother of Rachel Morin, the mother of five children who were allegedly raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant

Former President Trump called to offer his condolences to Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin, the mother of five who was allegedly raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, eliciting a very different reaction than her response to the Biden administration’s apparent indifference to her pain.

Patty Morin revealed Wednesday that no one from the Biden administration has reached out to her following the arrest of 23-year-old Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez. The 23-year-old was arrested last Friday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and charged with first-degree murder and rape. Morin was murdered last August while she was reportedly jogging on the Ma and Pa trail in Bel Air, Maryland.

“I am deeply touched by President Trump’s kindness and concern,” Patty Morin said, according to the New York Post. “He was genuine and genuinely wanted to know how our family was coping. He asked about Rachel and expressed genuine sympathy for her untimely death. His words have brought me comfort during this very difficult time.”

On Tuesday, CNN’s Jim Acosta asked Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, “What do you say to critics who accuse the administration of allowing something like this to happen? You obviously hear this all the time in the right-wing media.”

Mayorkas refused to mention Rachel Morin by name, responding: “Jim, first and foremost, of course, our hearts break for the children, the family, the loved ones, the friends of the person 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 to the fullest extent of the law. That is my response.”

On Wednesday, Patty Morin sharply criticized Mayorkas: “This is a completely political statement … It completely depersonalizes her and makes her an object. … No one has contacted me personally and as far as I know, no one has contacted anyone in the family. … Categorizing them as statistics just shows how impersonal they are and how little they value life.”

“They seem completely disconnected from what’s happening at the southern border and how that’s affecting Americans,” added Randolph Rice, an attorney for the Morin family. “They’re bleeding at the southern border and arguing about what Band-Aid to put on it, when instead they should be putting a tourniquet on it and stopping this influx so we don’t have another Rachel Morin.”
