Trump just blamed the El Paso shooting victims for their own deaths
He endorsed the racist manifesto’s worldview when he tied gun reform to immigration reform.
Over the weekend, a white man with a semiautomatic rifle went on a shooting rampage at an El Paso Walmart, killing 22 people.
President Trump, who averred that we cannot let the victims “die in vain,” offered an idea for how to prevent future shootings: “Republicans and Democrats must come together and get strong background checks, perhaps marrying this legislation with desperately needed immigration reform. We must have something good, if not GREAT, come out of these two tragic events!”
It’s a shame about the deaths, in other words, but they never would have happened if immigrants didn’t keep trying to come here, and if Democrats would just let me stop them. “So, this atrocity,” as Nicole Hannah-Jones aptly summed up his view, “was caused by immigration.”
Having essentially blamed the victims for their own murders, the president was happily and enthusiastically acceding to what authorities think are the alleged killer’s specific demands.

I find that very hard to believe.
It amazes me people like this are hired to write for NEWS papers today. How is this news? This is blatant misinformation being fed to public.
Don’t, the guy who wrote this article is making a ridiculous assumption.
Good! He’s causing division in this country, along with other lying lefty labelists who distort everything to fit their distorted brains and personalities. (I don’t do social media, incl. Twitter, so thanks for carrying the load!)
We don’t have news anymore, we have mental patients masquerading as journalists slipping their manifestos through the bars.
They are trying to provoke a civil war.The left is desperate.
In other words, he didn't blame them.
Ah. Nope.
These aren’t people. They’re sub-humans and they deserve prison for writing such disinformation and working stupid people into a state of potential violence. This is no different, really, than shouting “fire!” in a theater where there’s no fire. That’s illegal. This kind of inflammatory garbage should be, too.
Yellow journalism by pinks and reds.
This is what I wrote to him. Be forewarned, it has a lot of profanities because I was really ticked off, but he deserves it. I’ll be on this scumbags ass for some time....

It’s Goebbels on steroids!
I don’t know.
The photo of the “white man” murderer I saw yesterday sure made him look Hispanic.
I wonder if WAPO has ever done an article on all of the Americans who have been killed by illegal immigrants? In my area alone, the number must be alarming. But....crickets.
It’s like GOD lifted the viel.
Headline seems to be missing its barf alert.
Anti-American Communist liar ‘interprets’ what Trump said in order to tell us what he really meant.
