Trump Lied About Speaking To Murder Victim's Family, Sister Says
HuffPost
The former president claimed that he spoke to the family of Ruby Garcia, who was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico.
Former President Donald Trump said during a rally Tuesday in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that he spoke to the family of a murder victim — a claim quickly contradicted by the family.
Trump briefly mentioned that he spoke to relatives of Ruby Garcia, a 25-year-old Michigan woman allegedly murdered last month by her boyfriend, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico.
“Ruby’s loved ones and community are left grieving for this incredible young woman,” Trump said at the rally. “They said she had just this most contagious laughter and when she walked into a room, she lit up that room — and I’ve heard that from so many people. I spoke to some of her family.”
However, Garcia’s sister, Mavi Garcia, told a local TV station and several other news outlets that Trump had not spoken to anyone in the family.
“He did not speak with any of us, so it was kind of shocking seeing that he had said that he had spoke with us, and misinforming people on live TV,” Mavi Garcia told Target 8, an NBC affiliate in Grand Rapids, on Tuesday.
