“She lit up that room, and I’ve heard that from so many people,” Trump said about Garcia. “I spoke to some of her family.”
But according to her sister, Mavi Garcia, who is acting as a family spokesperson, neither Trump nor his campaign had reached out to her or her relatives.
She said Trump’s comments were intended merely to blame immigrants for crime in order to justify a border crackdown.
“It’s always been about illegal immigrants,” Garcia told the local news station Target 8. “Nobody really speaks about when Americans do heinous crimes, and it’s kind of shocking why he would just bring up illegals. What about Americans who do heinous crimes like that?”
…But Mavi Garcia told Target 8 that Trump was misleading people.
“He did not speak with any of us, so it was kind of shocking seeing that he had said that he had spoke with us, and misinforming people on live TV,” Mavi Garcia said.
