Conservative radio host blames Molly Tibbetts for her own murder: 'Why were you jogging outdoors?'

During his radio program this Tuesday, Root wondered why Tibbetts would subject herself to the vulnerability of jogging outside. After all, the U.S. is crawling with illegal aliens looking to commit murder.

“She has every right to be jogging,” Root said in a video clip flagged by Right Wing Watch. “But I just don’t get it.”

“Why are you jogging outdoors?” he added. “Go get a treadmill and watch TV and jog. Why are you jogging outdoors where there’s a chance some crazy person can attack you?

Next it'll be, "we need clothing laws to protect our women. They shouldn't flaunt it. It's dangerous."

Making absurd, unsupportable comments seems to be the way to get ahead in that loathsome business.

She was jogging in Brooklyn, Iowa, population 1400. Most people consider small towns to be safe. They usually are.

It's a wonder he didn't do the usual Conservative BS about how she deserved it because of the way she was dressed. Unlike the FOX hosts with knockers damn near hanging out.

Secondly, as a long-time runner, I have literally only run on a dreadmill (not a typo) once, and loathed it. Whether on road or trail, I run outdoors, no matter the weather. I do not run during lightning or hurricanes, but that's literally the only exceptions.

they had another brainwashed deplorable family like in Benghazi. When this girls family didn't play their game, they shift to blaming the victim.

These are truly spawns of Satan. They give not one shit about this girl and her family
