As predicted, Beto O’Rourke is trying to use the El Paso shooting for political gain against Donald Trump.
Not so shockingly, O’Rourke put the blame on Donald Trump, as did several other presidential candidates.
O’Rourke stated, “He is encouraging this.
“He doesn’t just tolerate it, he encourages it, calling immigrants rapists and criminals and seeking to ban all people of one religion.”
“Folks are responding to this.
“It doesn’t just offend us, it encourages the violence we’re seeing including in my hometown of El Paso yesterday.”
Dems All Blame Trump
Castro was another Texan and Democrat candidate placing the blame on Trump
While he stated the shooter himself was “responsible directly for that shooting in El Paso,” Trump created the environment that made this shooting possible.
He further stated, “Anybody who has the ability to see and hear and understand what the president has been doing since he started his campaign in 2015 knows that division and bigotry and fanning the flames of hate has been his political strategy.
“He’s given license for this toxic brew of white supremacy to fester more and more in this country.
“And we’re seeing the results of that.”
Cory Booker stated, “Our president right now is using the same language of racism, bigotry and white supremacy.
“He himself is using the language of hate.”
What About Their Language?
If Dems want to put this blame on Trump, then they better share in it.
Firstly, according to reports about the shooter’s manifesto, his writings predate the election of Trump.
Second, do Democrats not think their constant railing for illegals does not have an impact on people?
When they see a debate where candidates are answering questions in a language they don’t even understand, how do you think that makes people feel?
When illegal immigrants are made the top priority of virtually every candidate and we have half a million homeless on our streets that they do not care about, don’t you think that angers people?
When Democrats make racist accusations against the President that wants to try to fix the broken immigration system, don’t you think that angers people?
Furthermore, who talks about illegal immigrants more? Donald Trump or Democrats?
Virtually every time we hear a candidate speak, they are talking about what they are going to do to help illegal immigrants in this country.
To not think those words and actions do not take a toll on someone that is struggling or out of work is ignorant.
