Booker and Beto O'Rourke both cited the president's rhetoric and stoking of racial division in the wake of the Texas shooting.
Sen. Cory Booker placed blame on President Donald Trump and his racist rhetoric for a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, that left at least 20 people dead.
The shooting is being investigated as an act of domestic terror and a hate crime after officials said that they believed, but have not confirmed, a manifesto filled with anti-immigrant and white supremacist language was posted online and written by the gunman.
I think, at the end of the day, especially because this was a white supremacist manifesto that I want to say with more moral clarity that Donald Trump is responsible for this. He is responsible because he is stoking fears and hatred and bigotry, Booker said on CNNs State of the Union.

If there was no political left we’d have the crime rate of the Ross ice shelf.
“He was too quick on the draw. If he waited he could have blamed trump for both. ;)”
Not for long. The thread title just above:
“Dayton Mass Shooter was Registered Democrat, Voted in Two Dem Primaries.”
The only thing Democrats are good at is blaming Republican presidents for any evil that occurs, and calling every Republican a racist. It’s getting old.
When do these FALSE ACCUSATIONS become SEDITION?
Cory isnt intelligent. Using Corys logic ... Cory is responsible for the Dayton shooting. Cory .... when you grow up most of us will have died and it is your fault
Strange that millions of parents support President Trump and none of their children shoot into crowds.
It seems that the vast majority of these murderers are sons whose fathers were not involved in their lives from an early age. Their anger over this loss festers and grows with violent results as they lash out. What can be done about these young men?
Cory is drinking from the Koolade and he don’t even know what the flavor is.
I think Booker is responsible.
By that standard, Booker can immediately fly to Portland and take responsibility for the Antifa violence there.
Some people seek to exploit tragedies for political purposes. The truth is the personality profile of mass shooters doesn’t lend itself to a political orientation. Mass shooters are better described as young adult males who are loners, losers, and hateful of others on multiple levels.
Yes, among them are white supremicists who seek, in their skin color, some king of validation. Perhaps, they are blaming their own failures on the perceptions of affirmative action and competition from abroad (free trade as well as immigrants).
But, at the same time, many mass shooters are radical leftists, progressives and socialists, and people who hate Christians and Jews as well as people who hate the ethnic and religious minorities favored by the media.
To review the evidence:
During 2009-2016 (i.e., the Obama years), there were 155 mass shootings (defined as four or more killed not including the perpetrator) (there are other definitions).
That’s 19.4 per year.
During 2017-2019 (part) (i.e., the Trump years so far), there have been 54.
That’s 20.2 per year. The difference isn’t statistically significant.
The U.S. isn’t particularly bad when it comes to mass shootings:

Absolutely Cory! Just like you’re Responsible for all the deaths at the southern border..
“”because he is stoking fears and hatred and bigotry, Booker said on CNNs State of the Union.””
And Booker isn’t? Do these bums really believe there is one person left in this country who is buying their BS? Oh! They’ll vote for the loons but believe their insane statements? I don’t think so. They’ll just shrug them off and go on in their own ignorant bliss.
Farticus is probably an MK ULTRA zombie himself!
Just look at the eyes.....crazy, batshite crazy.
If President Trump is responsible for El Paso ... then Mr. Booker you and all your Rat pol friends are responsible for every American who has been raped, robbed, brutalized, beaten, and killed by an illegal alien.
It is easy to play this game.
You blame us for something ridiculous and we can blame you for tragedies that are totally preventable.
ANYONE who wants to blame Trump or Republicans for these shootings ... we can easily and accurately blame them for crimes committed against Americans due to their refusal to protect our country and uphold the law as written.
Stick it back in THEIR FACE ... I intend to do so when I run into these F-tards in the coming days.
These people are sick.
Does cock eyed Cory know the shooter was a registered democrat and voted in two democratic primaries? Of coarse he does but his idiotic followers don’t and believe him
the refusal of the Dems, the FakeNewsMSM & the rest of the Deep State to accept the results of the 2016 presidential election - & their 24/7 promotion of what amounts to anarchy - has a lot to answer for.
the manifesto’s name: “The Inconvenient Truth” (think Al Gore)
and how many times have we heard this population rubbish from the gloBULL warming mob?
I just want to say that I love the people of this country, but god damn most of yall are just too stubborn to change your lifestyle. So the next logical step is to decrease the number of people in America using resources. If we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can become more sustainable.
