Allie Beth Stuckey: ‘Toxic Empathy’ Killed Laken Riley & Is Used To Bully Good People Into Supporting Harmful Progressive Ideas w/ Rep. Morgan Griffith – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 427

Ask Dr. Drew

Laken Riley’s killer was convicted of murder, but he never should have been there in the first place. If Jose Ibarra had been prevented from entering the USA illegally in 2022, Laken would still be alive today. So why does this keep happening?

The empathy of good people is being manipulated by activists and extremists who yell words like “tolerance” or “justice” to bully others into compliance. Allie Beth Stuckey calls it “Toxic Empathy” and says it’s why so many progressive ideas, like unrestricted immigration or gender surgeries on children, continue to be defended by well-meaning people even as the negative effects dominate headlines.
