Trump to visit El Paso mass shooting site, in spite of Dems' warning to stay away

News of Trump's planned appearance teed up a potentially bitter national political moment just four days after suspected gunman Patrick Crusius, 21, allegedly opened fire at a Walmart and killed 22 people while injuring more than two dozen others.

"He is president of the United States," Margo, a Republican, told reporters. "So in that capacity, I will fulfill my obligations as mayor of El Paso and hope that if we are expressing specifics that we can get him to come through for us."

The mayor said he is “already getting the emails and the phone calls” from “people with lots of time on their hands," but that his focus remains on his community, not politics.

“We’re dealing with a tragedy of 22 people who have perished by the hateful, evil act of a white supremacist,” he said. “I don’t know how we deal with evil. I don’t have a textbook for dealing with it other than the Bible.

At least he acknowledges a need for a return to the Bible. Liberal heads vaporize.

This from politicians of the city whose cops DID NOT FIRE A SHOT and left the Walmart be a FREE FIRE ZONE for 20 minutes?

This may turn out like Ariel Sharon visiting the Temple Mount in 2000. The leftists and Antifa will foam at the mouth and may try to start an "Antifada"TM.

It won't end well for them.

Meanwhile Biden visits Houston and Michigan and is stunned he is confused on where the shootings took place.

So the Democrats are threatening violence if the President shows his face in El Paso?

Works for the Palisimians. Usually the size of the goody package is related to how large a tanty they can throw

I hope he jams it to the Democrats by walking into the Walmart and buying a gun.

Wal-Mart hasn’t sold firearms since 2015.

Just say the word, Demochumps.

We could bring back dueling tomorrow, if you passed a House bill legalizing it.

That way, we could take care of some of these outstanding matters relating to your loud slandering mouths.

If instead he visited Dayton first, he could point out that this Dayton doofus was a #Faux supporter atheist leftist ... that would dominate the news cycle ... get to El Paso after 5:30 ...

NPR today all day long Dayton Dayton Dayton , thinking the statistical oddity of more blacks killed somehow would allow them to sway the Ohio vote ... if Pres Trump simply stopped in Dayton at the airport and read off Cannon’s tweets the MSM Narrative would shift to China in an instant!
