Desperate to deflect any possible blame away from Cristhian Rivera, the 24-year-old illegal immigrant who killed 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts, CNN’s Symone Sanders found something else to blame: masculinity itself.
Known for her insanely idiotic takes, Sanders put the blame not on Rivera, but on a culture of “toxic masculinity” in a bizarre tweet. I’m not sure Sanders even realizes that she’s unintentionally criticizing Mexico for having a culture of “toxic masculinity” given that Rivera was not a U.S. citizen, and can’t even speak English. Sanders said that Mollie was attacked because she said “no” to his advances, but again, Rivera could not speak English, and there is no account which includes Rivera trying to make sexual advances on Mollie which were rebuffed, leading him to kill her. Sanders literally just made it all up.

In another tweet, after blaming Tibbetts’ death on masculinity, Sanders said that we shouldn’t generalize people (except if they’re male, I guess). Also, has anyone noticed that the “don’t blame all illegal immigrants for one disgusting crime” crowd are the exact same people who have no trouble blaming the NRA for committing acts of evil they played no role in?
Somehow, Sanders’ tweets have gone viral, having been retweeted hundreds of thousands of times. Her fanbase must be really grasping at straws to explain how our failure to enforce laws wasn’t responsible for this senseless killing if they’re comfortable with an explanation like this.
Fortunately, there were some sane voices out there.
This is the dumbest take I’ve read in my entire life on any subject. Really— it takes effort to be this stupid. https://t.co/REafkCpDiL

That "toxic masculinity" is called "machismo" south of the border. He brought his culture with him. https://t.co/HSp5mQ30vP

Are you currently high? Encouraging men to act more like women won’t stop illegal immigrants ( or anyone else for that matter) from murdering. https://t.co/8K9LfoNIi0

The comparison of who commits more crime between citizens & illegal aliens is just a bunch of talking points. If a citizen commits a crime we have laws in place to deal with it. An illegal shouldn’t have the opportunity to commit a crime in the US because they shouldn’t be here!!

Well, 1st, Symone Sanders is stupid. Sure, let's blame "all men" for some psychological thing she made up called "toxic masculinity." But it's wrong to blame "all immigrants" because half of them are women? So, just blame the half of immigrants who are male? LOL!

And if Sanders is so concerned with “toxic masculinity,” the prevalence appears to be higher among illegal immigrants, so shouldn’t she support stricter immigration control? While there are roughly 15 million illegal immigrants in America (about 5% of the population), they make up 22% of federal murder convictions. A study out of Arizona found that illegal immigrants between the ages of 15 and 35 are less than 3 percent of the state’s population, but nearly 8 percent of its prison population.
Whoever they are, there aren’t Mexico’s “best people.”

Sorry, Ms. Sanders – but “no” means “no” at the border too.

Sanders appears to have a problem with morality and reality; I suggest she get help from a qualified psychologist stat!
Does CNN hire anyone with a brain? All I have seen are idiots at CNN!
English: “No”…..Spanish “No”-translated to English…Wait for it!…”NO!
This POS had an accomplice and it was the democRATic party and those scumbags should be held accountable on election day….Donald needs SUPER majority then the dems can’t stop making America great again…
I thought the Left didn’t see gender? Why is it “Toxic Masculinity?” Maybe it was “Toxic Femininity?” She was saying NO, but she really meant YES. LOL What a stupid woman. How CNN have stupid people on their payroll is beyond me.
: why does anyone watch this horrible ugly looking troll anyway?????
Anybody who watches CNN is totally and completely insane.
We shouldn’t make light of what he did because he came from Mexico. He murdered a human , period. He needs to be punished, period. Some people of foreign born and come into this country illegally don’t share the same culture as we do nor respect the laws. He proved this by coming in illegally. He saw her as a prime target for whatever reason and killed her, period.
That ugly Burrhead female Killer Ape is really scary when it bares its teeth.
How do you say no in Spanish? Uh, “no”! Again, when the left has reached as low as it could possibly go, they grab the pick and shovel and go a little deeper. They have lost all sense of humanity. They have no sense of shame. This has become an all out attack on constitutional democracy and capitalism. They are NOT about to back down. They have invested, way to much, by discarding all their integrity and ethics to stop now. They are committed, just as the Nazi’s were. This is like a war, looking to find a battlefield, and I mean battlefield, with blood and death.
Who knew CNN would be so sexist? Real men don’t rape women. That is why 99% of men do NOT rape women. Less than .2% of the population are in prison for rape. Factoring in unreported rapes, only about 6% of rapists ever serve a day in jail for a rape, but that is because they engage in their crimes many times before being caught.
