OOPS: David Axelrod tries to steamroll Trump for 'exploiting' death, flattens OBAMA in the process

On Tuesday morning, President Trump tweeted about a man in the U.S. illegally (previously deported twice) who has been charged in the death of Indianapolis Colts player Edwin Jackson and Uber driver Jeffrey Monroe:

So disgraceful that a person illegally in our country killed @Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson. This is just one of many such preventable tragedies. We must get the Dems to get tough on the Border, and with illegal immigration, FAST!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 6, 2018

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod tried to prepare the liberal fainting couch:

Would @POTUS have tweeted his condolences to the family of NFL player Edwin Jackson but for the opportunity to exploit his tragic death in the ongoing battle over immigration?
Not a chance.

Does that dude remember who he used to work for? Fortunately others do:

Ouch!

How many administration officials would Obama have sent to Michael Brown's funeral were he not able to exploit his death? https://t.co/RruAEb5a7K

President Obama created a non-existent son who he said would resemble Trayvon Martin. No exploitation going on there however, right Dave? https://t.co/CLRBxYGEbH
