Obama has received justified criticism for not giving a statement about the killing of Kate Steinle in San Francisco by an illegal immigrant who had a long criminal record and had been deported five times.
The silence stands in contrast to Obama issuing statements and otherwise commenting on the death of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and others.
That criticism comes mostly from conservative media. The mainstream media has slightly touched the story, but nowhere near as extensively as other cases.
Surely, with all the criticism, at least one reporter at today's press conference would have asked a question about Kate's murder.
The press conference primarily addressed the Iran nuclear deal, but other issues were raised towards the end, including prison reform, revoking Bill Cosby's Medal of Freedom, and Obama's upcoming trip to Kenya.
