THE MOST BUSTED NAME IN NEWS: CNN Declined to Air Laken Riley Ad During State of the Union Address

According to conservative nonprofit Building America’s Future, struggling news network CNN declined to air an ad that blamed Joe Biden for Laken Riley’s death during the State of the Union address.

“CNN and Joe Biden are in lockstep once again,” Building America’s Future Advisor Phil Cox said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“It is shameful that CNN is censoring the truth and trying to protect President Biden by refusing to air this ad. The American people understand that Biden’s open borders agenda is responsible for the death of Laken Riley,” Cox continued. “Building America’s Future won’t be deterred when it comes to the important work of informing the public on how we are all less safe in Joe Biden’s America.”

The “Run” ad, which has gone viral on social media, says “Laken Riley should have been able to go on a run, in broad daylight without being murdered by an illegal immigrant. But Joe Biden promised not to deport illegal immigrants.”

“So, when Jose Ibarra crossed into America illegally, he was not deported, he was not put in jail. Biden also supported sanctuary cities,” the narrator continues. “So, when Jose Ibarra was arrested in New York City for endangering a child, he was freed a second time. Ibarra went to Georgia, where he beat Laken Riley to death. How many more killers has Biden set free?”

A CNN source said that “all ads that run on our air go through a review to ensure we are presenting factual and accurate information to our audience” and the spot’s “claims that were unsubstantiated.”
