A Fierce Megyn Kelly Eviscerates President Obama And His Selective Silence On The Death Of Katie Steinle (Video Added)

Filed under: General — Dana @ 11:09 am



[guest post by Dana]

Megyn Kelly’s opening monologue:

Breaking tonight, the young woman gunned down by an illegal immigrant in San Francisco was just laid to rest, surrounded by friends and family. It does not appear at this hour that anyone from the Obama administration was in attendance. Welcome to The Kelly File, I’m Megyn Kelly. Funeral services were held this evening for 32-year-old Kathryn “Katie” Steinle.

Her loved ones remembering her as an avid traveller who loved connecting with people until her life was cut short a week ago. That’s when Kate was shot and killed while in her father’s arms. Police say by this man, Francisco Sanchez, an illegal immigrant who had been deported five times from this country and had rapped up a string of felonies while in the U.S.

The San Francisco sheriff had Sanchez in custody as recently as April but released him pursuant to San Francisco’s “sanctuary city” policy where they have rules against handing over anyone to the feds who might be deported. This sheriff, himself a convicted criminal, says he stands by the city’s policy.

Kate’s murder has since exploded into a national debate on illegal immigrants, sanctuary cities and crime. With the White House ducking the issue of its own acquiescence in these cities’ decision to flout the federal immigration laws which were duly enacted. When asked repeatedly this week to speak to this case, White House spokesman Josh Earnest declined to weigh in other than to refer folks to the Department of Homeland Security.

A stark contrast to what we saw after Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson. A man we know was attacking a police officer at the time of his death. His funeral saw three Obama officials in attendance, his death drew comments from President Obama personally and his administration also sent in the DOJ and 40 FBI agents dispatched to Missouri after Michael Brown was killed. Where is the swarm of agents in San Francisco?

Then there was Freddie Gray in Baltimore, a repeat drug offender who was killed in police custody. Here again his funeral was attended by three Obama administration officials and again the President spoke personally to Freddie Gray’s death. And again sent the DOJ in to investigate. When Trayvon Martin was killed in Florida, the president spoke to his death which was later ruled to be in self-defense. But Katie Steinle, nothing. No comments, no swarm of FBI agents, no DOJ investigation, nothing. Why?

As a reminder, when asked about the shooting of Katie Steinle, administration spokesman Josh Earnest shamefully politicized the tragedy and blamed Republicans for her death.

  4. The way the Democrats, specifically the leftist administration bureaucrat Democrats are treating (ignoring) this travesty is the reason I consider contemporary Democrats vile, vulgar and disgusting. And that goes right to the top with that slime ball Obama doing his bet to look the other way. #WhiteWomenMatter you dirty b^stard.

  5. Megyn, call him what he is, NOT an illegal immigrant, he’s an illegal alien invader, as are all those who come here unwanted, unneeded and without the sanction of US law.

    Rick (3e52d4)

  6. I just want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that when a nutso American citizen shoots up a black church killing nine people that the proper response is to immediately ban the Confederate flag and implement strict new gun laws that wouldn’t have done a thing to prevent the tragedy.

    But when an illegal immigrant with a history of felonies, deportations, and illegal re-entries is harbored in a sanctuary city where he randomly kills a young woman for no apparent reason, the proper response is to have a measured debate over making some slight tweaks to the sanctuary city laws that might grudgingly force local officials to pay attention to whom they release, but at the same time adopting Comprehensive Immigration Reform (TM) with a clear pathway to citizenship for future Democrat voters.

    When his aunt died he played 18.
    This white girl being murdered by his ilk has no benefit for Emperor obama.

  12. I find that when I try to use the word “shame” in the same sentence as “Democrat“, “progressive“, “liberal“, or “Obama” my text editor refuses to accept it.

    It appears that those groups and individuals are inhabiting a post-shame world.

    in_awe (7c859a)

  13. Yes, in_awe, and being “without shame” is a very condemning pronouncement in the Bible. After all, humans, being known sinners, are expected to sin,
    but it takes downright wickedness to commit sin and not care.

    I hope Kelly demands comment on this from every dem apologist until she chooses her next target to highlight with equal treatment. If she gets to the point where no one is willing to come on her show anymore, well good for her.

    MD in Philly (f9371b)

  14. Fierce! And even more impactful since no one else in the entire media has had the guts to say it.

    BTW what does she mean that the sheriff is a convicted criminal?

  15. The Baltimorons are looking for a new sheriff.

  16. Erik Wemple at the Washington Post scolded Kelly for crossing the line from straight anchor to editorial reporting with this monologue. He based his chiding of her on this statement she once made:

    “I’m a straight-news anchor. I’m not one of the opinion hosts at Fox.”

    While I understand he is a journalist who focuses primarily on media organizations, but given that he himself has neglected to take to task the paper for which he writes on their lack of asking the necessary questions Kelly did, I would think he would be too ashamed to write this blather.

    Dana (86e864)

  17. In the end, Wemple is just another lapdog colluder, a liberal with a press credential.

  18. 3. Obama is the most virulently racist president of all time.

  20. elissa, forget about how Dylan Roof got a gun.

    If Mirkarimi wasn’t connected there is no way in h3ll his domestic violence conviction would have been downgraded. He’d have lost his right to have a gun.

    Dylann Roof, who is accused of killing nine people at a church in South Carolina three weeks ago, was only able to purchase the gun used in the attack because of breakdowns in the FBI’s background-check system, FBI Director James B. Comey said Friday. Comey said that Roof should have been prevented from buying the .45-caliber weapon used in a shooting that authorities have said was motivated by Roof’s racist views…

    I think it should go without saying that trying to rob a class III firearms dealer is not a smart life decision.

    …However, Alice Tripp, spokeswoman for the Texas State Rifle Association, said it’s not that simple, especially with dealers that sell weapons of that magnitude.

    “They lock everything down. You just don’t grab and dash,” she said. “It is not a 7-11 or a liquor store.”

    Tripp said she is unaware of any robbery at a Class III weapons dealer that has been successful.

    Today’s a busy day for those pointing and laughing at the people who mocked presidential candidate Mitt Romney over his warnings about Chinese hackers and Russia’s status as America’s greatest geopolitical foe.

    Among those who got in on the action was OPM Director Katherine Archuleta, who in 2012 posted a video showing that Romney possessed “little understanding of what’s going on in the 21st century.”

    …Yet Trump, like other philosophically erratic politicians from Denmark to Greece, has tapped into a very basic strain of cultural conservatism: the question of how far First World peoples are willing to go in order to extinguish their futures on the altar of “diversity”.

    As Ann Coulter’s new book Adios, America! lays out in remorseless detail, Kate Steinle is dead because the entire Democratic Party, two-thirds of the Republican Party and 100 per cent of the diseased federal-state-municipal bureaucracy prioritizes myths over reality. Yes, it’s distressing to persons of taste and discrimination that the only person willing to address that reality is Donald Trump. But that’s because he’s not the reality-show freak here. The fake-o lame-o reality freakshow is the political pseudo-campaign being waged within the restraints demanded by the media and Macy’s. So, if Donald Trump is the only guy willing to bust beyond those bounds, we owe him a debt of gratitude. If, as Karl Rove proposes, other candidates are able to talk about the subject in a more “inclusive” way, so be it. But, if “inclusive” is code for not addressing it at all, nuts to that…

    Trumps advantage is that he talks about illegal immigration as if he’s angry about it. I say “as if” because I don’t believe him. A few years ago he was calling GOP candidates “mean” illegals. But it is precisely his tone that resonates with voters, who are also fed up with being used.

    Black Father Who Lost Son to Illegal Killer: Trump Brought Us Fresh Air, Trump Brought Us Hope

    The “art of the deal” consists of figuring out what people want, then selling it to them. I’m sick and tired of fakes like Pataki demanding everyone denounce Trump because his comments are “beyond the pale.” Just how politely are we supposed to talk about Mexican criminals to avoid alienating the Hispanic vote. Or, better yet, ask the illegal alien women who are gang raped down at the border and their underwear displayed on trees as trophies how politely they feel we need to talk about their rapists?

    I truly wish some serious candidate would steal this guy’s thunder. Kate Steinle deserves at least that. Talk about the issue as if you’re angry that she was murdered.

    No doubt this slipped by because personnel were too busy completing mandatory online diversity training, or possibly planning upcoming LGBT pride celebrations in anticipation of the SCOTUS ruling.

    _______________________________________________________________

    letters_callaw@dailyjournal.com [August, 14, 2008]

    Letter to the Editor:

    Thomas Brom’s “Let Them In, Over Taken By Events – O-B-E” [August 2008] is spin. Spin out of control. First, America already generously Let’s Them In, granting legal resident status and naturalized citizenship every year, to about 2.5 million immigrants. Significantly more than any other nation.

    Second, Mr. Brom’s “Let Them In” theme reminded me of the callous quip about a woman getting raped: “Hey, why fight it, just sit back, relax and enjoy it.” That theory’s a non-starter, readily proven again by the 1993 rape, then murder, of Jennifer Ertman (14) and Elizabeth Pena (16), by illegal alien gang member Jose Ernesto Medellin (now 33). Texas just executed him. More recent, there’s SF’s triple murder of the Bologna family in June 2008, LA’s murder of Jamiel Shaw, Jr., in March 2008, and Newark’s execution-style murders of three college students in August 2007. (Illustrative, not exhaustive.) All the product of insane sanctuary city policies coddling and harboring convicted criminal illegal aliens. City, county, state and fed officials all have blood on their hands.

    Third, Mr. Brom’s piece referred to three books advocating open borders, published in 2007-8. I call Mr. Brom and raise him: Michelle Malkin’s Invasion (2002), Victor Davis Hanson’s Mexifornia: A State of Becoming (2003) and Pat Buchanan’s State of Emergency (2006). Fourth, what happened to – the Rule of Law? That America is a nation of laws, not men. That no man is above the law, and that’s what separates America from the rest of the world. Let them in? Open borders? Strange arguments coming from a lawyers’ magazine, but guess we’re just living in the world of Superman Bizarro.

    Fifth, we have not been O-B-E, but in fact have had decades of deceit, denial, dysfunction and dereliction of duty (maybe by design NAFTA, NAU, SPP), from all three branches of our federal government. Example: Plyler v. Doe, 457 US 202 (1982), a 5/4 Brennan opinion that admitted the fed’s total failure on illegal immigration, flew in the face of Fong Yu Ting (cited in Brom’s piece, but curiously absent from Plyler), opened the floodgates (see fnt. 2 in Plyler dissent, estimating 3-12 million illegal aliens as of 1981), and denied Texas the natural law remedy of self help. Then California’s Prop 187, torpedoed by a single federal judge. Example: the 1986 bi-partisan Simpson-Mizzoli bill that graciously gave amnesty to 3 million+ illegal aliens, and promised American citizens that it would be – a one-time fix. Can you say Shamnesty? Because that was a fraud, fixed nothing and spawned another 12-20 million+ illegals. Example: the recent 5/4 USSC opinions of Boumediene v. Bush and Dada v. Mukasey, foolishly giving more rights and opening further our courts, to terrorist combatants and illegals, thus making even longer ques for Americans to use their own courts. (See “[Fed] Circuit Judges Decry Immigration Case ‘Tsunami’” by Tony Mauro, 8/12/08 Legal Times and “New Nightmare Census Projections Reveal CHAIN MIGRATION Still Choking Our Future” by Roy Beck, 8/14/08 NumbersUSA.) Example: The dereliction of Presidents Carter to G.W. Bush on this issue, most notably their failure to prosecute cheating employers who hire illegals and refuse to use E-Verify.

    Separation of powers, the so-called checks & balances? Phooey! The Rule of Law? Phooey! We are trillions in debt, yet the politicos and judges never ask, who or how we will pay for their frolics. We get the shaft from all three branches, plus we get to pay the “check” for the actually not so cheaper labor. The same is true for too many state, county and city governments/officials (sanctuary cities); the media (Mr. Brom’s own “It’s why an editor… may choose to bury a story rather than put it on the front page.”); and, the big corp bandits & pirates (that out-source American jobs, hire the illegals and push for more H-1B visas to in-source more foreign workers). The Dems want more voters; the Repubs (and US Chamber of Commerce) want cheap labor. It can be argued, we are well down the road to anarchy. (See HBO’s “The Second Civil War” (1997).) But the Will of the People has always been clear: STOP IT! Most recently rising up to stop the bogus bi-partisan “comprehensive” shamnesty bill. Yet all ever required was leadership and integrity. To simply apply reason, enforce our existing laws, and follow the advice of Deputy Barney Fife (of Andy of Mayberry): “Nip it. Nip it. Nip it in the bud.” The situation then would have been – the problem that never was.

    But that takes courage. Instead, our politicos have chosen to pick the low hanging fruit, and to come up with one scam, scheme and bogus compromise, after another. We must look in the mirror. We must ask: Are we still capable of governing ourselves? Because at present, America has no real Rule of Law – with 12-20 million illegal aliens, it would be foolish to argue otherwise. Fact is, everything has been reduced to politics. Because if baseball used to be America’s pastime, it can be readily argued that today, our pastime now is – lying, cheating, stealing & spin. And it’s everywhere. And it’s destroying our American constitution, country, communities, culture and courts. And it’s killing us.

    Open borders – NO! Enforce our laws – YES! Si se puede!

  51. I would think, assuming the majority of Hispanics are law abiding people, they would be perfectly happy to have the bad apples sorted out.

    A majority of Latinos (eg, the history of Mexico, etc) are of the left or favor liberal politicians — and certainly often give a million benefits of the doubt to crud like Barack or Hillary (or all their clones throughout the nations south of the border) — so even if they’re not thrilled by masses of the “undocumented” streaming in and helping bringing down the house of cards (or turning their part of the US into the type of place they tried to escape from in the first place), they’ll be the last to change ongoing trends.

    Rinse, wash and repeat, rinse, wash and repeat.

    Since the scourge of liberalism is a worldwide phenomenon, the percentage of people with sanity ultimately can only hope to rely on the integrity of the honor system, meaning living in a situation where most people around them (ie, the demographics) won’t be exploiting or taking advantage of the well-being of a community or society. Such places are extremely rare, and in this age of the Syndrome of Greece/Mexico/France/Venezuela/Argentina/blue-state America, are becoming rarer and rarer.

Yes, I know (vaguely) that the mission capability for the F-22 and F-35 are different (I think the F-35 is more of a fighter-bomber), but if we were at all serious about air superiority we would have cranked out more F-22’s and have guaranteed air superiority for another decade at least, from the little I know.
    Maybe someone more friendly to us than China hacked into a computer system and has the technical plans for F-22’s. Handing the plans over to Israel I think would be more patriotic and in defense of our country than our stopping production of them.

  54. Yeah, doc, you have it about right. The F-22 was supposed to be the air superiority fighter and the F-35 the bomb truck. But now thanx to budget cuts and magical thinking and unicorn pee…

  56. For some reason, I thought I had included the video with the post. Apparently not. It’s up now.

  57. Unlike The Won, I have an actual daughter (two of them to be precise) who do look like Katherine “Katy” Steinle.
