Barack Obama reacting to Trayvon Martin’s death, March 2012:
“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”
White House spokesman Josh Earnest reacting to Chris Lane’s death, August 2013:
“I wouldn’t want to get ahead of the legal process here.”
Well, that’s new.
Update:
True. Lane wasn't beating anybody up when he was shot. MT @aseitzwald No, Chris Lane is not the white Trayvon Martin.
