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."
The
man accused of killing Kate Steinle, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, was
allowed to roam San Francisco despite being wanted by federal
authorities thanks to San Francisco's
status as a "sanctuary city" that shields some undocumented immigrants
from federal authorities.
Asked by Cooper if he felt his sister was being used by Trump, Brad Steinle said, "In a way, yes."
"Sensationalizing
it is not the route we would like to go," he said. "If you're going to
use somebody's name and you're going to sensationalize the death of a
beautiful
young lady, maybe you should call and talk to the family first and see
what their views are."
Steinle
called Trump's immigration policies -- which include building a fence
along the U.S.-Mexico border, "not rational" and "not common sense."
