As news spreads of the illegal alien who was deported five times before he randomly murdered a woman in San Francisco, team Obama has now decided that the murder was the fault of… uh… Republicans. Yes, the same monster who the Obama administration released from custody and the same man who went to San Francisco because he knew the Democrat-led “sanctuary city” authorities wouldn’t arrest him turned to murder because of… er… Republicans.
How did Obama’s spokesman screw himself around to this idiotic claim? Because: budget cuts… or something.
When asked if the case was a failure of the administration’s enforcement policies, White House press secretary Josh Earnest chided Republicans for blocking a bipartisan immigration bill that would have boosted funding for border security.
“I recognize that people want to play politics with this,” Earnest said. “The fact is the president has done everything within his power to make sure that we’re focusing our law enforcement resources on criminals and those who pose a threat to public safety.”
Kathryn Steinle, 32, was shot and killed Wednesday at a popular tourist destination in San Francisco. The suspect, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, had multiple felony convictions and had been deported to Mexico five times.
Earnest faulted the “political efforts of Republicans” for blocking “the kind of investment that we would like to make in securing our border and keeping our communities safe.”
The liar in chief strikes again.
