American Urban Radio’s April Ryan noticed too. On March 27, 2017, as Jeff Sessions was wrapping up a press conference, Ryan called out a question about Caughman's murder: “Is that a hate crime, sir?” The attorney general continued walking. Later, Ryan brought it up to Sean Spicer at a press conference. He refused to condemn the killing directly; instead he ranted about a vague anti-Semitic incident: “We saw that the President was right and that this rush to judgment by a lot of folks on the left was wrong…and that is something that equally needs to be called out.”
