Seven Democratic presidential candidates spoke to CNN in the aftermath of a gut-wrenching 24 hours -- after a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday left 20 dead and a separate rampage hours later killed nine more in Dayton, Ohio, on Sunday.

CNN's Jake Tapper asked them to respond to the mass shootings, including their thoughts on whether Trump's rhetoric played a role in facilitating recent gun violence. Here is what they said.

The news and the Democrats have to get ahead of the truth to get their hits in and the required virtue signaling before the truth gets out. The truth will turn out to be, as it always does, that the perpetrators were disturbed people for years before the shootings, and whatever the MSM and Democrats are jumping on had nothing to do with the shooting.

From the evil demented dudes own words: "But the idea of deporting or murdering all non-white Americans is horrific. Many have been here at least as long as the whites, and have done as much to build our country. "

That, and the fact that he killed and injured a lot of white people....doesn't sound like much of a so called white nationalist.

The continued existence of the Progressive (read Marxist) movement in this country as well as in Europe, depends entirely on defeating Trump’s second term. It is just that stark.
Breaking the grip of te leftist mindset require 4 more years. The continued existence of our nation depends entirely on the reelection of Donald Trump. His loss will end borders, establish government authority over aspect of life, and entrench the Deep State permanently.
Not even a bloody revolution will be able to overthrow a leftist takeover of our nation.

Proper response should have been:”Why are you asking such a stupid question?” How incredibly stupid is it for white people talking about “white nationalism”.

The Bad Orange Man caused a wacked-out Elizabeth Warren supporter to kill his sister and a bunch of other people.

If you can’t see that, you are a racist.

CNN's ratings are in the gutter flowing towards the storm drain.

So just as the missing Malaysian airliner story consumed them for months on end, these mass shootings and more gun control will suck up all of the air left in their balloon for the near future.

The MSM loves stories about gun violence so they can blame Trump for being called a racist by the democRATS.

And, of course, it makes him personally responsible for all the crazed democRATS out there who want to commit violence upon their fellow man.

Trump's a racist only if they say so.

Chicken Noodle News is basically a tax write-off.

".... Chicken Noodle News...."

ROTFLMAO! Good one.

Yeah, I agree. Turner Broadcasting, and in turn, AT&T Warner Media, are taking their losses on CNN as a tax write off.

Because they sure aren't making a profit by being in the toilet all of the time.

That might be true, but to blame Obama for mass shootings would be...racist, yeah racist. Plus, he won a Nobel Peace Prize so mass shootings couldn’t be his fault. And, he was a lightworker, so there.
