President Obama speak out on the murder of Kathryn Steinle

Created by J.M. on July 13, 2015

President Obama please speak out on the murder of 32 year old Kathryn Steinle. We shouldn't need to ask the White House for a statement since he came out on Trayvon Martin, declaring “this could have been my son.” When Michael Brown was killed, Obama promised to ensure that “justice is done” and declared: “We lost a young man, Michael Brown, in heartbreaking and tragic circumstances..." Administration officials attended Brown’s funeral. After Freddie Gray was killed, Obama walked out to the Rose Garden and declared: “We have some soul-searching to do...”

But after a beautiful woman, Kathryn Steinle was killed on July 1, 2015 allegedly by an illegal immigrant with seven felony convictions, Obama said nothing. No promises of “justice.” No calls for “soul-searching.”
