Jocelyn Nungaray’s mother was ‘shocked’ by Trump’s phone call minutes before he entered debate

HOUSTON — The mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, the 12-year-old girl allegedly beaten and murdered by two illegal immigrants, was “shocked” when former President Donald Trump spoke to her 10 minutes before taking the stage for Thursday’s debate, The Post reported.

Nungaray’s best friend, Victoria Galvan, who was with the grieving mother when the two spoke, told the Post that Trump made it clear there was no one he would have rather talked to before the debate than her.

“He said to me, ‘I’m about to come over for a debate.’ … He offered his condolences and said he would get back to her,” Galvan said.

“He meant… to say that he was praying for Alexis and thinking about her and wanted to reach out to her. He said he was going to contact her in a few days…I mean, she was really…we were all shocked,” Galvan said.

After the call, Galvan said she and Alexis, who was staying at her home, talked about how Jocelyn would have been incredulous about the attention the former president had paid to her story.
