Beto O’Rourke at Debate Says El Paso Shooter Was ‘Inspired to Kill’ By Trump
Mediaite ^ | September 12, 2019 | Ken Meyer

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.

Watch above, via ABC.

Sorry I was thin-skinned. I meant to take a shot at Beto, not you.

Beto needs to slide under a gas truck and taste his own blood.

Everyone's panties are in a bunch over what Castro said to Biden, but the really scurrilous moments of the evening were these from O'Rourke.

Note, please, no Democrat has yet to condemn or even rebuke him. That is very telling.

...inspired to kill by our president...

Justify that statement Beto, clearly and concisely.

For far too long a compliant, complacent, even complicit media has been letting leftists get away with unsupported BS like this. Call this lying POS to task, make him explain the "logic" behind this statement. Hint: he cannot, because there is none.

Mexican Bob, aka “Beto’’ needs to have his ass kicked. In fact him, Buttplug and even Biden and Sanders, as old as they are have made this conservative, me, that is beyond fed up with their smack talking ‘’tough guy I'm going to take away your guns blah, blah blah, etcetera,etcetera bs. Put up or shut up. For crying out loud a junior high school wrestling team could kick the crap out of anyone of this collection of doddering old fools and cabana boys. And lets not even talk about Princess Gray Beaver and Kamala “''Horizontal'' Harris.

I would think the shooter was inspired by all of the Godless hate driven Democrats
