GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The sister of murder victim Ruby Garcia said she and her family were home watching live, in disbelief, as former President Donald Trump told an audience in Grand Rapids that he had spoken with “some of her 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,” Ruby Garcia’s sister, Mavi Garcia, told Target 8.

Mavi Garcia, the family spokesperson, said neither Trump nor anybody from his campaign has contacted her or anybody in her immediate family. She said her family is close and she would know if that had happened.

“It was shocking. I kind of stopped watching it. I’d only seen up to that, after I heard a couple of misinformations he said, I just stopped watching it,” Mavi Garcia said.

Trump spent some of his speech on Tuesday focusing on immigration, turning to the March 22 murder of 25-year-old Ruby Garcia. Court records show Brandon Ortiz-Vite, who was in the U.S. illegally, has confessed to killing her and dumping her along US-131 in Grand Rapids.

Seriously, nobody should take anything Trump says as truth ever. When will people learn?

I find it hard to believe Trump lied.

In before blue avatars accuse the family of lying just to make Trump look bad.

Mods can we please, please have a "Ferguson outrage-bait megathread"? Hard to see what kind of discussion you could possibly wring out of churn like this.

Could you explain why a former president and current major party candidate for president lying about speaking to the family of a murder victim does not qualify as discussion-worthy news?

It's not like he has lied before. At least not more than 30 thousand times.

Refusing to normalize the GOPs reprehensible conduct is the responsibility of every decent American. Just because they have not yet been effectively punished for their deplorable choices does not mean we need to treat what they do as acceptable.

The constant lying of a the leader of a major political party is news. That he continues to lie, and that his supporters continue to accept it is, in itself, worth pointing out and reminding everyone who reads this forum.

As others have pointed out, this is newsworthy.  Would you object to the thread if it had been started by someone other than Ferguson?

He has a weird fixation on me. He seems to get upset whenever I make a thread, even when I’m literally just posting an article without commentary lol

Once again, another story that would probably end someone else's career is just ignored by most of the press; we continue to see more of Trump's insanity normalized each day.

[wbrocks67]

Honestly it's even worse than you may think

Some people want everything that Trump does wrong to be covered up.

Another day another serious Trump scandal.

But God forbid Joe Biden mix up his words, it’s a media frenzy.

Are we sure he’s not just senile? I mean yes Trump lied all the time, but right now he doesn’t seem all there.

I thought the same thing, but that's still really bad. If he is so far gone that he believes things that never happened then how is he fit to be President?

Well, he never was. So, how does this change anything.
