George Takei's Comments on Republican Politicians and Laken Riley Murder
George Takei claimed Republican politicians will use the murder of Laken Riley as justification to create internment camps for illegal immigrants, referencing Japanese-American internment during World War II. He criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson for blaming the Biden administration for allowing illegal aliens to cross the border. Takei failed to mention it was the Democrat administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt who oversaw the internment of Japanese Americans. The murder victim, Laken Riley, was a nursing student who was killed while jogging on the University of Georgia campus by an illegal alien from Venezuela.
