Kate Steinle’s brother slams Donald Trump for ‘sensationalizing’ sister’s murder

BY MEG WAGNER

The brother of a San Francisco murder victim slammed presidential hopeful Donald Trump for using his sister’s death as a political platform.

Kate Steinle was gunned down earlier this month by an undocumented immigrant on a popular pier. Since then, the anti-immigration Trump has used her death — and the deaths of other Americans killed by undocumented immigrants — as a political talking point.

But Steinle’s brother Brad said Trump hasn’t contacted his family at all as he uses the 32-year-old woman’s death in his “not rational” campaign.

“Donald Trump talks about Kate Steinle like he knows her. I’ve never heard a word from his campaign manager, never heard a word from him,” he told Anderson Cooper Tuesday. “It’s disconcerting, and I don’t want to be affiliated with somebody who doesn’t have the common courtesy to reach out and ask about Kate and ask about our political views and what we want.”

Unbelievable. Libs never change do they, even when it comes to a family members death. Protecting the regime is more important. Bash the one guy who is trying to do something about his sisters death while leaving the Kenyan King alone who didn't even have the courtesy to acknowledge her death. I guess she was the wrong color and was law abiding.

He wants Trump to reach out to him and find out what he wants?

[grania]

Trump is creating a situation where the family may be able to look back and say that it's horrible that their loved one died, but her life has some meaning if other families are spared.

Isn't that the path so many families take? To advocate for changes that gives the lost life some positive meaning through changes.

I read this as Trump hasn’t paid us for the use of her name.

[Responsibility2nd]

Didn’t the parents invite the Donald into their home?

I guess the brother doesn’t share the same view as most Americans about Sanctuary Cities.

[basalt]

funny...last wek he tweeted about great Trump was for speaking out....oddball

[roses of sharon]

As predicted....

[Redbob]

Wonder what Brad’s thoughts are on jeh Johnson?

“Who?”
- Jeh Johnson, when asked about Kate Steinle’s death

[Chauncey Uppercrust]

Trump doesn`t need this guys permission to discuss criminal illegals. He said it before she was even killed.

He is also lecturing the nice black man that`s son was murdered when he lashes out against Trump

BTW no I did not read the article only the headline, I am guessing the guy is a lib...whatever does not matter, The Donald does not need this guys permission.

“It’s disconcerting, and I don’t want to be affiliated with somebody who doesn’t have the common courtesy to reach out and ask about Kate and ask about our political views and what we want.”

"Sooo, I suppose that she's still dead, right?"

[eyeamok]

Brad said Trump hasn’t contacted his family at all” ??

Huh, then who were those people he had a PUBLIC MEETING on TV with????

[Red Steel]

Trump today,

"Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 1h1 hour ago

.@BradSteinle Thank you for yr wonderful tweet of July 4. I wanted a little time to go by before calling. Your sister & family are amazing "

Exactly right. Political Correctness is set by the left, and if attacking those that demand immigration laws to be enforced is the latest PC trend, then the left will do just that despite all costs.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Really? Wow. And what gets me is he why should Trump contact him at all? All he did was mention her death 3 or 4 times as an example of why we need border control. Now it offends him?

[Vigilanteman]

. . . which makes post #4 a possible, if not likely, scenario.

[JudyinCanada]

Trump is talking about an illegal felon, deported numerous times, murdering an innocent American woman.

This is the issue - name, likes, dislikes, family, political affiliation irrelevant.

[PGR88]

So she WASN’T killed by a felon illegal?

[max americana]

” I don’t want to be affiliated with somebody who doesn’t have the common courtesy to reach out and ask about Kate and ask about our political views”

So there you are. This idiot is asking why trump did NOT ask what their political views are first. Trump should ask permission first where they lean politically before making a political comment, also protected as free speech?

Man, don’t make me defend Trump..
