Will Obama Cancel DNC Fundraiser in Wake of Heartland Beheading?

As news of the beheading of an Oklahoma woman swept the nation Friday afternoon, all eyes turned to the White House to see whether President Barack Obama would cancel his 4:30 p.m. Democratic National Committee roundtable fundraiser at a private Washington home to issue a statement. 

According to Moore, Oklahoma Police Department Sgt. Jeremy Lewis, the man alleged to have beheaded victim Colleen Hufford is Alton Nolen. 

“After conducting interviews with co-workers of Nolen’s, information was obtained that he recently started to convert some of his co-workers to the Muslim religion,” said Sgt. Lewis during a Friday afternoon press conference.

Whether Obama plans to cancel his Friday fundraiser to make a public statement is presently unclear. 

Earlier this month, Obama told NBC News he regretted the “optics” surrounding his decision to go golfing just minutes after making a speech about the beheading of another American, journalist James Foley, who was beheaded by ISIS terrorists.
