Biden administration “not even willing to acknowledge that she was a female, that she was a mother, a daughter. It totally depersonalizes her, and makes her an object,” says Patty Morin.
Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin and grandmother of Rachel’s five children joined Fox News on Wednesday to excoriate the Biden administration’s “impersonal” response to her daughter’s murder by an illegal alien.
“Ingraham Angle” host Laura Ingraham asked Patty her reaction to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ insensitive remarks about Rachel’s death at the hands of a Salvadoran national.
“My reaction is that it’s a completely political statement because they’re not even willing to acknowledge that she was a female, that she was a mother, a daughter. It totally depersonalizes her, and makes her an object,” Patty told Ingraham.

The Biden administration had extended its condolence to Morin’s family in a statement but did not go as far as condemning the illegal alien who was arrested for raping and murdering Rachel.
“We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Rachel Morin. We cannot comment on active law enforcement cases. But fundamentally, we believe that people should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law if they are found to be guilty,” the White House said.
Ingraham then asked Patty if the Biden administration reached out to her at all over her daughter’s murder.
“No, ma’am. No one’s contacted me personally. And, as far as I know, no one has reached out and contacted anybody in the family,” Patty replied.
“My message is that these are American citizens. These are the people that help to strengthen our country. These are the men and women that keep our country going, our economy going, our families, our churches,” she continued. “This is the backbone of America, us Americans, and to not even acknowledge that my daughter is a person, or that she’s a female, or that she’s a mother, like to categorize her as a statistic— it just shows how impersonal that they are, and it also shows how they don’t value life.”
Patty said her and her family lived in fear until the suspect, 23-year-old Victor Martinez-Hernandez, was arrested for Morin’s murder in Tulsa, Oklahoma, last Friday.
“When we heard that they had apprehended a suspect, there was a sense of relief, but before that, we all lived in fear because, you know, fear feeds on the unknown,” Patty said. “And if you don’t know who the person is, where they come from, are they still here in the area. Because we didn’t have any of those details. It wasn’t easy even to like take a breath, and just kind of allow yourself to relax and rest a little bit. So, it’s been very hard, so very hard.”
