The mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, the 12-year-old girl authorities say was murdered by two illegal migrants, joined former President Donald Trump on the campaign trail Friday — calling out Vice President Kamala Harris for never reaching out following her daughter’s tragic death.
Alexis Nungaray joined Trump in Austin, Texas, to slam Harris for not issuing her a “sincere apology” for her border policies after Jocelyn was abducted, assaulted and killed in June.
The grieving mother blamed “the Biden-Harris policies” for her daughter’s murder.
“Kamala Harris has never reached out to me, just even as a human, to give her condolences as a humane person running this country,” she said.
“I think it’s very sad that she can’t even just give me an open apology, sincere apology,” the mom added.
Jocelyn was found dead in a creek on June 17. She had stepped out to go to a convenience store at 10 p.m. the night before, when investigators say she encountered two illegal migrants from Venezuela, Johan José Martínez-Rangel and Franklin José Peña Ramos.
Both migrants had been apprehended in the months before Jocelyn’s death, but were released with notices to appear in court.
Investigators say Jocelyn was sexually assaulted and strangled under a bridge and Gov. Greg Abbott has called for the death penalty for her alleged murderers.
Fox News’ Bret Baier asked Harris if she wanted to apologize to Nungaray’s family during their interview on the network last week.
The vice president did not directly apologize in the interview, and instead said she’s “so sorry for her loss.”
“I am so sorry for her loss. I am so sorry for her loss. Sincerely. But let’s talk about what is happening right now with an individual who does not want to participate in solutions,” Harris said to Baier in reference to Trump.
“I feel awful for what she and her family experienced,” Harris added.
Alexis Nungaray thanked Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for standing next to her family after her daughter’s death.
“I appreciate everything Donald Trump, Senator Ted Cruz has done for me,” she said.
The former president then invited her to visit him for lunch in the White House if he gets re-elected.
Trump’s remarks with Alexis Nungaray came before his larger rally scheduled to be held in Austin, Texas on Friday evening.
Harris was also in the Lone Star State on Friday speaking out about abortion, and the former president took the opportunity to slam her for not addressing the border while visiting the state.
