the funeral of kate steinle that is is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. y, the steinle family buried their 32-year-old daughter in san francisco. the media was barred from the ceremony as it should have been. the situation is heart-breaking. imagine if kate were your daughter and her life was taken by the despicable criminal who had been deported to mexico five times. just imagine that. i have the same feeling i had when i heard that nine innocent people were gunned down by a racist in charleston. these things should never happen. in the united states of america. in the charleston situation americans came together condemning the blatant hatred. but in kate's situation americans have not come together, at least so far. that's because of politics. there is no question the uber liberal sanctuary city policy of san francisco directly led to the murder of kate steinle. if the city leaders had had any shame which they don't they would have resigned already. it struck me yesterday when jesse watters confronted the 11 san francisco supervisors how emotionalless th
