Former Texas Congressman and 2020 presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke said at ABC’s Democratic debate that President Donald Trump “inspired” the El Paso shooting last month.
In his opening statement, O’Rourke railed against Trump by pointing to the “cost and the consequence of his presidency.” O’Rourke accused Trump of bringing racism and violence “out into the open” throughout America before turning to the massacre that left dozens dead and wounded in his hometown in early August.
“Twenty two people were killed,” O’Rourke said. “Dozens more injured by a man carrying a weapon he should never have been able to buy in the first place, inspired to kill by our president.”
In the aftermath of the shooting, the gunman’s anti-immigrant manifesto drew comparisons between the rhetoric Trump has embraced throughout his political career. O’Rourke has repeatedly hammered Trump over the shooting, decrying the president as a “racist” repeatedly.

That skateboard faceplant did more brain damage than realized.
Beto is a dangerous drunk..when he’s in a car, everyone get out of the way
What’s this punk kid drunk Irishman white boy saying?
Are these people really running for President, or are they plants to ensure the Democrats lose?
Beto, if you remain a factor in national politics (highly doubtful) you too may see how it feels when someone make broad, unsubstantiated, slanderous statements about YOU!
That’s not a very presidential deportment, by the way.
It’s beginning to boarder on the hysterical.
Great question.
Wow you were able to get past the first 10 seconds of that debate thing!? Even just 5 words from Beto’s mouth forces me to turn it off and make up for it with an hour of Trump’s speech at Republican Congressional retreat.
*Detox*
IMHO, Beth is inciting violence against Trump supporters.
WOW!! F’in fake Mexican assbutt!!!
Beta Boy embarrassed himself and Texas every time he opens his mouth.
Jeffrey Epstein was inspired to sexually assault little girls by Beto O’Rourke.
This is quality entertainment.
Serious fiction.
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.’ And God granted it.
Voltaire
Good times
How dare this person say such a thing about the President of the United States — any president, even the ones we don’t like! He ought to be shunned by every right thinking person in this country, left or right, Republican or Democrat. How perfectly awful for him to say such an outrageous thing!
When you are assigned to report on O’Rourke’s comments, you should recognize your journalist career is over and try to find something worthwhile to dedicate your life.
And therefor the Las Vegas shooter and the Orlando shooter were inspired by 0bama.
Biden also says his admin never separated familes and never put kids in cages.
Prayers rising that the evildoers who mock God and His followers will be utterly vanquished in next year’s elections. It’s never too soon to pray.
