Pro-Life Party Shrugs Off Death Of 7-Year-Old Girl (Goes to Wonkette)

We all know that Republicans are, generally speaking, heartless monsters who don’t care about anyone but themselves, but you’d naively hope multiple airings of It’s a Wonderful Life combined with the tragic death of a seven-year-old girl might cause their hearts to grow three sizes at least.

Not so much! Because the little girl wasn’t a fetus competing with a woman’s autonomy and was also a Guatemalan migrant who died in the custody of US Border Control. Republicans have since turned up on our TVs telling us why the death of Jackeline Caal was entirely her own fault.

Jason Chaffetz appeared on Fox News last night to inform its sociopathic viewers of the true “message” of Caal’s death, which is that a seven-year-old girl should not have chosen to “make this journey” to America with her parents.
