Since the El Paso and Dayton shootings, the media pushed the narrative that President Trump is to blame for the deaths of 31 people because his racist remarks. Most have featured survivors who are critical of the president.
National Public Radio tried to find Trump haters in El Paso and instead came face to face with Tito Anchondo, who lost his brother and sister-in-law. Anchondo said his brother and his whole family are Republicans and support Trump.
Now the Washington Post has profiled Anchondo: “Why one family mourning El Paso victims chose to meet with Trump” and embedded a video featuring people who refused to meet with Trump in Texas.
“Tito Anchondo wishes people would stop politicizing his family’s tragedy,” the Post reported before it proceeded with a political spin:
"Melania Trump posted a photo Thursday on Twitter showing the meeting with Tito Anchondo, his sister, Deborah Ontiveros, and the infant. In the photo, Melania holds the baby, while Trump smiles and gives a thumbs-up — an image that drew anger on social media. Some questioned why the infant was photographed with a leader whom some blame for inciting the violence that killed his parents."
But Anchondo strongly rejects that view of the shootings and said he did not want the photo to be seen through a political lens.
Anchondo praised Trump after he met with the president and first lady with his sister, Deborah Ontiveros, and his brother’s now-orphaned infant son, Paul.
“He was just there as a human being, consoling us and giving his condolences,” Anchondo said.
The president “wasn’t there to be pushing any kind of political agenda,” Anchondo said, describing “a private conversation between human beings.”
“Yes, definitely,” Anchondo said when the Post asked him if he felt consoled by his conversation with Trump.

I know how editors feel. It hurt the poor WaPo editors to leave in that closing sentence.
They’ll change it. AOC will be calling them today.
The only evidence that Trump is a racist is that the left keeps saying he is. They have never produced evidence. For that matter, they have never produced evidence of the white supremacy that they claim is rampant.
As for Trump inciting these lunatics to go on murder sprees, it is a very convoluted path that leads to this conclusion. The left keeps saying horrible things about Trump and his supporters. They keep piling on as they see it has no effect on normal people (who see through the lies). But whacky leftists absorb the rhetoric and internalize the message that anyone who does not promote socialism is a subhuman reprobate. And they get frustrated and decide that they are going to take care of the problem. Thus, their murder spree is Trump’s fault, since he stubbornly refuses to repent for standing up for freedom.
Let us not be fooled: the El Paso shooter was a whacky environmentalist who most likely believes the earth would be better off without humans. And he preferentially shot Hispanics because he is aware that they bring third world environmentally damaging customs with them when they set up shantytowns and basically live in their own trash (just like they did in their own countries). The bits of his manifesto that were publicized indicate that he is a leftist radical through and through.
Democrats accuse their enemies of doing what they do and being as they are.
That is all they do, not one thing else.
Democrats are the racists of America.
Democrats are also the Nazis of America.
One need only observe what they say to others to know what they actually are.
Democrats are actually Democrat socialists. That makes them Dezis (det-zees).
Their policies and tactics bear significant similarity to those of 1930s Nazis. I hope we don’t see the similarities extend to early 1940s Nazi behavior.
“Their policies and tactics bear significant similarity to those of 1930s Nazis. I hope we don’t see the similarities extend to early 1940s Nazi behavior.”
I think we will. I think someone got the Nazi Handbook from Deutschland back in the day, and American radicals got a hold of it.
I do not doubt for one second that the American Left would round up all us Deplorables, put us in death camps, and torture us all to death if they could.
White supremacy is to the left what Emmanuel Goldstein was to Big Brother in the book 1984. He was a symbolic boogeyman that didn’t exist. An invented threat to unite opposition. I am re-reading the book as it explains much of what’s happening now.
You nailed it.
The Left calls Trump derogatory names and expects the rest of the country to believe them.
What are Americans going to believe? The lying democRATS or their own eyes.
Americans, except of the radical Left socialist/commie ones, know President Trump is not a racist nor a white supremacist. They can see and hear for themselves that he is not anything like the Resistance and the media (but then I repeat myself), portray him to be.
The democRATS have cried "wolf" far too long and the American public are onto their game of name-calling without any evidence to back it up.
Unfortunately, we’re already there. Case in point: The nouveau-trendy Anti-Semitism that has become pretty much a sacred cow that is above and beyond criticism amongst the so-called “progressives”.
It’s a pogrom in all but name.
Before the 2016 election, I saw a leftist troll commenting on a Fox News article (paraphrased): “I can’t wait until Hillary is elected and we can start rounding all you Deplorables up!” The sentiment is certainly out there. My main concern is how widespread is that desire to eliminate us. Leftist totalitarians have not historically needed majorities to impose dictatorships.
WUT? You don’t have the ever growing list of tweets about ‘wet backs’ and crazy ‘n’ word comments he makes non stop? Yeah, me neither. And don’t forget the nasty comments about the lgbtqxyzqrst crowd too. And don’t get me started about the folks from India and Pakistan and his remarks about slurpees and stuff. I know the list is around here someplace.
Kinda starting to dislike a ‘hole’ lot of the media assclowns.
Well, “The Hunt” is scheduled for release pretty soon.
The answer to this mass murder problem is Constitutional Carry!
Good guys ‘n gals with guns will stop the bad guys MUCH faster than a 911 call!
I’m sending my senators and President Trump a short note to that effect.
Maybe some of these folks can use reason, logic and common sense to solve this problem.
HST, I AM skeptical that reason, logic and common sense will be evident in the coming weeks!
I fear that the hyper-partisan, anti-Second Amendment Inside the Evil Beltway mentality that so corrupts our “lawmakers” will cause some really unconstitutional and VERY dangerous laws to be written!
Nationwide Constitutional Carry is the best option for America!
The use of the term “racist” by any journalist immediately indicates that they no case.
Zip.
Zero.
Obama.
If President Trump is responsible for mass shootings, then so are Elizabeth Warren (The Dayton killer was a supporter of hers) and Bernie Sanders (the baseball shooter is a supporter of his.)
If they’re not responsible, then neither is Trump.
So, lefties, pick your poison.
“Some questioned why the infant was photographed with a leader whom some blame for inciting the violence that killed his parents.”
Oh, sure. The president is supposed to change what he would normally do in these circumstances based on some crazy, B.S. Stalin-level propaganda from his political opponents? Right.
