Ed Lee, San Francisco mayor and 'sanctuary city' proponent, dead at 65

Fox News

This is classy of the network.

The city was a focal point of the criminal trial of an undocumented immigrant who shot a woman at Pier 14.

Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was charged with involuntary manslaughter. He shot and killed Kate Steinle after he found a loaded gun in the area. The jury acquitted him of the harshest charges. The feds are pursuing federal charges against him.

Instead of honoring the mayor for accomplishments during his term, they use the divisive phrase, "sanctuary city" to promote their bigoted agenda against immigrants, Muslims and people of color.

The death of an American mayor and this network resorted to dog whistle politics.
