Listen: White supremacists try to claim Kate Steinle tragedy for their cause

What happened?

Kate Steinle was a 32-year-old woman walking in San Francisco with her father when a bullet struck her and she died. Because the gun was fired by an illegal immigrant who was a felon, her death has become a rallying cry for people advocating for stricter immigration policies and border security.

Why are Nazis in the news again?

Around 25 white nationalists gathered at the White House on Monday to protest the not guilty verdict for Mexican national Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, who was deported five times before firing the shot that ricocheted before killing Steinle.

On today’s show, Doc expressed his frustration over how white supremacists are trying to co-opt Steinle’s tragic death to push a neo-Nazi agenda.
