Asec. Uson tells Bb. Pilipinas International Mariel de Leon not to 'confuse murder with killing the criminals'
It seems that the bad blood between Asec. Mocha Uson and Binibining Pilipinas International Mariel de Leon isn't over yet.
On Saturday, the appointed assistant secretary of the Presidential Communications Operations Office accosted the beauty queen for a tweet going against having a leader who is in favor of murder. De Leon did not mention any names.
Her tweet read: "It's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that people are okay with murder because their leader says it is okay."
On Mocha Uson Blog's Facebook page, a screenshot of de Leon's tweet was posted along with a caption directly addressing the beauty queen.
"Ate wag puro ganda ginagamit mo. Iba ang MURDER at iba ang pagpatay sa mga kriminal. HINDI INUTOS NG AMING PANGULO ANG PATAYIN ANG INOSENTE," Mocha wrote on Facebook.
Uson pointed out that it is not President Rodrigo Duterte's fault if there are policemen who are involved in illegal killings, stressing that "murder" is not selfsame with "killing criminals"
She added, "kung meron mga tiwaling pulis hindi ito kasalanan ng Pangulo at ito ay kanyang paparusahan. Don't confuse MURDER WITH KILLING THE CRIMINALS."
The beauty queen followed her first tweet with:
Hate inspires hate.

Violence inspires violence.
"Until we stop harming others, we are all still savages."
Didn't mention anything specific, but hey! If you're affected, I guess the shoe fits perfectly! ????#SashayAway

De Leon's tweets came after news of grade 11 student Kian Loyd delos Santos was killed during an Oplan Galugad operation.
Uson and de Leon first clashed in May when the beauty queen tweeted about her patriotic stance. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
