The incident occurred when Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, a 25-year-old from Ecuador, \u2062reportedly kidnapped and assaulted a 13-year-old girl and boy in Queens, New \u200dYork.\u2062 Reid\u200c critiqued Fox \u200bNews for what she termed &#8220;fear-mongering,&#8221; a sentiment that Jayapal appeared to agree with, even laughing at the coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Social media and conservative commentators strongly\u200d criticized the response by\u200d Reid \u200band Jayapal, accusing them of insensitive and inappropriate reactions to\u200b a serious\u200c crime. Critics, including the account Libs of TikTok, expressed outrage over the apparent downplaying and politicization of the crime in the media discussion. The Western Journal used this coverage to highlight what they perceive as a \u200dbroader issue of media bias against \u200dreporting on crimes committed by\u200b illegal immigrants, contrasting liberal\u2063 and conservative media narratives. The article also included\u200b a plea from The Western Journal for \u200breader support, framing it within the broader context \u200dof media bias and the upcoming\u2062 2024 election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/michael-schwarz\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/michael-schwarz\/%20\"><span>Michael Schwarz<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   June 21, 2024 at 11:24am <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p><b><i>CORRECTION, June 24, 2024:<\/i><\/b>  An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/msnbcs-joy-reid-and-dem-rep-pramila-jayapal-slammed-for-sick-response-to-coverage-of-teen-girls-rape\/\" title=\"MSNBC's Joy Reid and Rep.
