The Washington Post faced swift backlash on Twitter Sunday evening after tweeting “White nationalists angered by Mexican immigrant’s acquittal in Kate Steinle’s killing.”
While yes, White Nationalists are in fact angry about the slaying and subsequent acquittal, they certainly aren’t alone — and being angry doesn’t mean that you are one.
Angry Twitter users promptly seized upon the tweet to slam the outlet for their poor-taste in framing the issue:
"So if you're mad a seven time convicted felon got away with murder you must be a white nationalist. "
"You guys have been taking too many lessons from the Onion and National Enquirer lately. Bezos should stick to selling merchandise not propaganda and #FakeNews."
"Everyone should get angered. And it's an ILLEGAL ALIEN, NOT "immigrant".'
"If @washingtonpost believes that only far right is outraged over the verdict, it is sorely mistaken. However, it is my belief that @washingtonpost knows better."
FIVE times deported illegal aliens could not be immigrants except by deliberate obfuscation.
The government has removed him FIVE times. He is a WELL documented illegal alien.
So? The washington compost wants you DEAD. Merry Christmas!
The illegal alien apologists didn’t waste any time at the WaPo but all they did was to get that once significant paper laughed at. The issue is about murder and whether one of the privileges of being in a Protected Class is getting away with it. Apparently if you have a problem with that, you’re a Nazi. Or not. Because nobody intelligent listens to them anymore anyway.
The only ones who think it is a real newspaper, instead of the Leftist propaganda talking-points fish wrap it actually is, are the people in Washington DC and the liberals.
What do we care what these people have to say?
I live in rural Florida and I certainly don't read it.
And I don't care what kinds of names they call me. I am who I am and they don't give me my identity.
Having said that, they at least exposed their extreme liberal bias.
And they revealed who their enemies are. Me and youse guys on FR.
White nationalists?
You mean the people who grew up as well as their ancestors in a 85+% white nation?
Ya know before the leftists turned this country in to a 3rd word sh*t hole?
Those nationalists?
Ridiculous. This actually has nothing to do with Hispanics or anything other than the refusal by the City of San Francisco to enforce immigration policy. And the City has gotten away scot-free.
We can build all the walls we want and pass all the new laws we want, but as long as localities are permitted to simply flout federal law on this, nothing is going to change.
I’m white. I love my country. I think the Kate Steinle verdict is a disgrace and a travesty.
I guess I fit the profile.
Juror Explains Verdict in Murder Trial
This week, Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, the man who shot and killed Kate Steinle in 2015, was acquitted of all homicide-related charges (murder, manslaughter, negligent homicide) by a San Francisco jury. The sole charge on which jurors could agree he was guilty was “illegal possession of a firearm.”
Speaking “off-the-record,” Juror X explained that “the fact that the defendant had previously been deported five times persuaded us that he was not really responsible for killing Ms. Steinle. On the one hand, several jurors blamed the government for inciting Mr. Garcia’s rage. Being repeatedly forced to sneak into the country at great effort drove him to live outside the law. Such a lifestyle entails risky behavior like carrying the weapon he carelessly fired into a crowd of shoppers and tourists at a waterfront pier. If our country’s borders were open Mr. Garcia would have been allowed to legally enter and would not have had to join the criminal underworld.”
“Other jurors blamed the lack of gun control,” Juror X continued. “If no one were allowed to have a gun it wouldn’t have been possible for Mr. Garcia to shoot anyone and Ms. Steinle would still be alive. It was felt that it would be unfair to lay all of the blame on Mr. Garcia when it is right-wing politicians who have blocked sensible gun confiscation. Logically, then, since in a sane society it would have to be illegal for anyone to have possession of a firearm, we were able to reach a consensus that convicting Mr Garcia of that charge would lead to the most just outcome that was within our power to bestow.”
“All of us agreed that Ms. Steinle’s death was a tragic accident,” Juror X added. “Mr. Garcia had no intent to kill her or anyone else. He was just blowing off steam. She, unfortunately, was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She wasn’t murdered. As a woman she couldn’t have been man-slaughtered. And negligent homicide would be a failure to use the care that a normally careful person would. Well, Mr. Garcia is not a normal person. He is a former felon and cannot be held to the same standard that a law-abiding, noncriminal person should be held.”
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee called the verdict “a clear vindication of our sanctuary policy. It sends a message to all those living in fear of being mistreated by federal immigration goons that they can come to our city and be protected by our laws and, as the decision by this enlightened and socially progressive jury has shown, by the citizens of San Francisco.”

Yeah, what’s the problem with being a white nationalist?
So her parents are “white nationalists” .
“As a woman she couldn’t have been man-slaughtered.”
What the... Sounds like a bunch of left-wing loons. Considering extraneous matters in their verdict was clearly jury nullification.
When the left pulls the race card; the right has won the argument in total. Game over. Done. Fini.
It’s the last weapon in their verbal arsenal. When they use it; it’s because they have no factual argument so they turn to feelings or shooting the messenger for how they “feel”.
Leftists are so predictable. They are consistent and predictable because they take their marching orders from places like WaPo, NYT, CNN, MSNBC, the MSM, etc. They are really easy to take down in a debate because they lack any real ammunition in the way of facts. They are all about “feelings”. They think with their feelings. They act with their feelings. Their brains are like the appendix; a little used and no longer needed organ in their bodies. In them it just keeps them breathing, their heart pumping, and gives them the ability to walk and talk. The lower functions of the brain in humans. Well; except of course that big overused lobe they use to ‘feel’ with of course. The rest of their brain, unlike ours, is a mixed mush of atrophied gray matter.
And if you are Hispanic and upset you are a White Nationalist, too. How about if you are Black or Asian? Or a Native American? Really, WaPoop...
(Army meaning)
Some of those leftists wear R jerseys and have names like Bush, Rubio, McCain, Flake, Alexander, Corker, Murkowsky, Graham, Hatch, Heller and Hoeven.
Yeah, I don’t think so.
I am upset because the prosecutor over charged this guy....
“White Nationalist” - normal sane folks and/or left-wing nuts who suddenly suffered an atrocity by an illegal.....
“White nationalism is a type of nationalism or pan-nationalism which holds the belief that white people are a race and seeks to develop and maintain a white national identity.”
And the problem with that is...?
John, I’d like to make a request.
Would you note at the top of comments
like this that what follows is BS?
Reading nonsense isn’t how I want to spend my life.
Thank you
How much longer will the dinosaur press last lambasting the deplorables?
