White lives don't matter.
Obama's silence on Kathryn Steinle killing is deafening
After Trayvon Martin was killed, President Obama spoke emotionally about his death, declaring "this could have been my son."
After Michael Brown was killed, Obama promised to ensure that "justice is done". He even sent administration officials to attend 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 Kathryn Steinle was killed July 1, allegedly by an undocumented immigrant with seven felony convictions, Obama said ... nothing.
No promises of "justice." No calls for "soul-searching."
His silence has been deafening.
Why has Obama been so reticent to speak out? Perhaps it is because any soul-searching in this case would require him to confront the fact that his administration has been releasing tens of thousands of dangerous undocumented immigrants with criminal convictions into our communities — including many who have gone on to commit murder.
After Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Freddie Gray were killed, Obama had liberal public policy points he wanted to make — about gun control, "stand your ground" laws, racial profiling and police bias. In the Steinle case, there are no issues Obama wants to highlight — because his administration supports the policies that led to her death.
No wonder Obama is silent.
