Trump just blamed the El Paso shooting victims for their own deaths
He endorsed the racist manifestos 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!
Its a shame about the deaths, in other words, but they never would have happened if immigrants didnt 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 killers specific demands.

LOL! I don’t care, I’ll just start another. That one I started last January, I’m surprised it lasted this long.
Holy cow, this d-bag I am going to taunt for the next month!
This guy shore looks like a White Supremacist.

Weapons like the one I carried in Afghanistan have no place on our streets or in our schoolsleast of all in the hands of white nationalists.

Grrrrrrrr!
In short, the association with Trump’s immigration reform efforts to blaming the shooting victims is pure crap. The writer needs to be taken aside and advised that he needs psychiatric counseling.
My nutjob meter just pegged.
Antifa Unmasked.
Skin that smokewagon!
Where is he posting from, prison ?
Maybe an upside down hair clinic or a CAIR conference. Who knows?
Several here would love to beat the crap out of him.
And he lives in my hometown NYC where I grew up which USE to be a great city despite the crime until these out of town leftist scumbags like this piece of sh*t moved in and destroyed it. Back in the early 80s I use to walk around wearing a Reagan tee shirt, Had Reagan 80 bumper sticker on my car, nobody bothered me. Today though? You can’t even criticize the Clintons in a restaurant without somebody trying to start a fight with you which actually happened to me while having dinner with my elderly parents 10 years ago . And wearing a Trump hat, you’re liable to get stabbed. That city is utterly gone.
I think he’s the type that would enjoy that.
This guy is a raving maniac and he writes for WAPO?
He needs to be put on a Red Flag list
What I find amazing is that a WHITE family was killed in Mexico just a few days ago while stopping at a MEXICAN checkpoint. Parents and a 12yo boy were shot in the head.
And this supposed LEADER OF MEXICO has the balls to say he will sue the US over the killing of a few Mexicans?
I posted on his Twitter account if he could explain to me just what exactly a “white nationalist” is. My definition of a nationalist is someone who wants their reps putting the interests of USA first BEFORE foreign ones like our reps are SUPPOSE TO DO! So is Pete Buttegg saying he is incapable of that? Then he should drop out of the race!

Are you serious?? I didn’t hear about that! I see once again our “fair” media is on top of things again. Is there any link to it?
He looks like a jihadist, that’s for sure. Probably went native overseas.
Who do you blame, Wapo?
The Democrats are using a terroristic mass murder by one of their ardent voters and supporters to advance a political objective. I thought that was a tactic used by groups like the IRA, or Al Qaeda, not American political parties. I guess I was wrong.
