Pier 14 Shooting: Brad Steinle – Trump ‘sensationalizing’ sister’s death

CNN
Published: July 14, 2015, 11:11 pm

Washington (CNN) — The brother of a San Francisco woman killed by an undocumented immigrant said Tuesday that Donald Trump was inappropriately using her without as much as calling the family to express condolences.

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

Brad Steinle, the brother of now the now deceased Kate Steinle, the 32-year-old medical device sales representative who was shot and killed as she walked one of the city’s piers. Trump has been using her death as an example reinforcing his comments that undocumented immigrants crossing into the U.S. are “rapists” and “killers.”

Asked by Cooper if he felt his sister was being used by Trump, Brad Steinle said, “In a way, yes.”

He is only showing outrage for the media hype.

This man could care less if a thousand people were shot by illegal immigrants.
