https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Seth_Rich
Rich was shot about a block from his home in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C.[9][10][11][12] Police were alerted to gunfire at 4:20 am by an automated gunfire locator called ShotSpotter.[12][13] Rich was found conscious but later died in the hospital.[10] Newsweek reported that police said he may have been killed in an attempted robbery and that the neighborhood had recently been plagued by robberies. Although Rich's watch strap was torn, nothing had apparently been taken from him.[9] According to police, he died from two shots to the back.[9][11][14] Rich's girlfriend told NBC Washington, "There had been a struggle. His hands were bruised, his knees are bruised, his face is bruised, and yet he had two shots to his back, and yet they never took anything...They didn't finish robbing him, they just took his life."[15]
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz issued a statement mourning the loss and praising Rich's work "to protect the most sacred right we share as Americans — the right to vote."[13] Hillary Clinton spoke of this fatality during a speech advocating limiting the availability of guns.[2][6] Rich's parents and girlfriend appeared on Crime Watch Daily to speak about the murder case.[16][17] In October 2016, a plaque and bike rack outside the DNC headquarters were dedicated to Rich's memory.[18] In February 2017, the Beth El Synagogue in Omaha named an existing scholarship after Rich, one which helps Jewish children attend summer camps.[19] On March 19, 2017, Seth Rich's brother Aaron started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for the murder investigation.[20]
Using Trump as a factual source isn't a strong argument. Especially when you laugh at all the things he says that doesn't follow your narrative, but then try to use him as exhibit A when he does.
So really all Trump said was that Christian refugees applying for refugee status would be given priorities due to persecution in the middle east. You've taken that and turned it into Trump saying Christians would be let in, Muslims wouldn't.
This is another lie. What Trump said, when he was speaking about Illegal Immigrants was:
"When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
What he was obviously referring to is illegal immigrants who commit additional crimes.
That's the double standard of a politician. Hillary was Wall Street's candidate because she once gave a speech to Goldman Sachs.
No mention of other minorities who were persecuted under ISIS. Just Christians. Clearly this is fitting a narrative that he's trying to promote. That is racism.
It's still a silly comment because the facts don't support it. He's pandering to a demographic with tried and true methods of xenophobia.

Like Hillary's comment about Trump supporters being deplorables was silly and stupid and not supported by facts.
I'm sorry - you're saying it's OK for you to arbitrarily decide which Trump quotes you can use as backup for evidence because Hillary was considered Wall Street's candidate (by mostly Bernie supporters, I might add)?
Besides Christians and Muslims, what other "minorities" are we talking about? Hindus?
You're conveniently taking a quote out of context, applying it to mean what you want and then, in true liberal fashion, labeling everything in it racist. And you guys wonder why no one takes your arguments seriously.
You can argue whether or not it is silly and whether the facts don't support it, or why he said it. What you shouldn't do is make up the comment and twist it to make it say what you want it to say in order to further your agenda.
From Ann Coulter's latest:
.... .
Republicans are both corrupt and stupid, so it's hard to tell which one animates their opposition to the wall. But the Democrats are bluffing. They're trying to get the GOP to fold before they show us their pair of threes.
Now that Trump has capitulated on even asking for funding for a wall, the Democrats are on their knees saying, "Thank you, God! Thank you, God!"
No politician wants to have to explain a vote against the wall. What the Democrats want is for Trump to be stuck explaining why he didn't build the wall.
Then it will be a bloodbath. Not only Trump, but also the entire GOP, is dead if he doesn't build a wall. Republicans will be wiped out in the midterms, Democrats will have a 300-seat House majority, and Trump will have to come up with an excuse for why he's not running for re-election.
The New York Times and MSNBC are not going to say, "We are so impressed with his growth in office, we're going to drop all that nonsense about Russia and endorse the Republican ticket!"
No, at that point, Trump will be the worst of everything.
No one voted for Trump because of the "Access Hollywood" tape. They voted for him because of his issues; most prominently, his promise to build "a big beautiful wall." And who's going to pay for it? MEXICO!
You can't say that at every campaign rally for 18 months and then not build a wall.
Do not imagine that a Trump double-cross on the wall will not destroy the Republican Party. Oh, we'll get them back. No, you won't. Trump wasn't a distraction: He was the last chance to save the GOP.
Millions of Americans who hadn't voted in 30 years came out in 2016 to vote for Trump. If he betrays them, they'll say, "You see? I told you. They're all crooks."
No excuses will work. No fiery denunciations of the courts, the Democrats or La Raza will win them back, even if Trump comes up with demeaning Twitter names for them.
It would be an epic betrayal -- worse than Bush betraying voters on "no new taxes." Worse than LBJ escalating the Vietnam War. There would be nothing like it in the history of politics.
He's the commander in chief! He said he'd build a wall. If he can't do that, Trump is finished, the Republican Party is finished, and the country is finished.

Except the implied context is that most illegals are causing additional crime and not just some minority; hence "some are good people".
Exactly, I have been saying this well before Ann Coulter. NO WALL=NO REELECTION. My concerns are coming true, it seems like the Republicans specialize in doing nothing. The Wall is the main symbol of Trump making good on his promises. We are early into his Presidency and many people who voted for him are already concerned.
It is still early in the game and he can salvage things by starting the process of building a Wall but Trump is doing a lousy job of expressing his conviction and "fire in the belly" for building a Wall.
If we reach the 2 year mark (halftime) and Trump still has not made any progress in building a Wall then maybe he should be impeached. Many have predicted that Trump will be impeached but did anyone predict that it would come from the very people who once supported him? Maybe Trump will make good on one promise and that is to "unite the country". We will all agree and unite to remove him from office for failing to deliver a Wall. All of this can be avoided if he simply begins the process of building a Wall.
