Obama's Deafening Silence on the Steinle Murder

We cited a quote a day or two ago to the effect that the White House was complicit in the Kate Steinle murder. Noting Obama's heartfelt laments for Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Freddie Gray, Marc A. Thiessen writes in The Washington Post:
After Kathryn Steinle was killed July 1, allegedly by an illegal immigrant with seven felony convictions, Obama said . . . nothing.

No promises of “justice.” No calls for “soul-searching.” His silence has been deafening.

On May 28, Sarah Saldana, director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, admitted in a letter to Sens. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) that between fiscal years 2010 and 2014, the Obama administration had released “121 unique criminal aliens who had an active [deportation] case at the time of release and were subsequently charged with homicide-related offenses.”

Think about that: 121 times over the past four years, the administration has released an illegal immigrant with prior criminal convictions who went on to be charged with murder. That is one every 12 days.

No wonder Obama is silent.
All of that, plus Steinle was white. Obama's behavior suggests only "black lives matter" to him. Our president is a racist.
