President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden head to Uvalde, Texas to meet with a grief-stricken community following the deadly elementary school shooting that left 19 kids and two adults dead.
But not everyone in the predominantly conservative town is thrilled about his visit.
According to Stella Chavez, an immigrations and demographics reporter for KERA News, told CNN’S Brian Stetler that there is “a lot of outrage” over Biden’s visit.
“I think it depends on who you ask…I think, for the most part, the families who were affected want to focus on their loved ones who were killed. And I think having the leader of our country come here and express, you know, his condolences is important to them. But I also know, I've heard people say, you know, now is not the time for him to come here.”
Chavez said he believes the community is worried Biden will politicize the event, adding that people don’t want to focus on what could have happened or what should have happened, they just want to “focus on the kids.”
In 2020, 57 percent of Ulvade residents voted for President Trump. Its own mayor, a Republican, Don McLaughlin called Biden’s presidency a "total failure" and his border policy a “clown show.”
Many people in the community told USA Today that other issues such as immigration should have brought Biden to the town long before the shooting occurred.
Upon Air Force One landing in San Antonio, the Biden’s are expected to visit the informal memorial outside of Robb Elementary School that has accumulated an overflow of flowers and notes. They will also meet with mourning families, survivors and first responders.
Maybe they will provide the same level of protection as was afforded the kids...
Biden won’t be able to resist politicizing the event. He’s that kind of POS.
Yeah..secret service should stand down
CNN has it on live now. The Bidens with their black clothing and sunglasses looking oh, so somber…
Can’t wait to hear the “speech”.
I went through Uvalde once, on a bus in 1983. It’s a border town, so I’m wondering if Biden is planning to meet some illegal immigrants there?
Biden won’t be able to resist politicizing the event.“
He already has. The rats never miss a chance to exploit dead children. Notice the fact he and the rest of the rats have wrecked the country has been pushed out of the news.
We don't need more of Biden's "focusing on the kids." Ugh.
Keep your hands to yourself, Old Joe.
Creepmeister Xoe can’t wait for the chance to do some serious hair-sniffing.
Look at the story thus far. Absurd, absurd, absurd. Simulation says Biden will gaff and it will be as absurd and, importantly, as big as every other element in this sad tragedy.
Of course, he'll politicize the event. Just look at what he did one day after the shooting happened.
Never fear, the bi-dungs are here.
In between gaffs slow Joe will probably be looking at his watch.
One could only hope...
Let’s Go Brandon...nonstop during his spiel. They can’t arrest everyone - just treat him like he’s Ann Coulter at Berkeley.
ALERT ALERT ALERT -
Allowing POTUS and FLOTUS that close to the US-Mexican border is apt to be damaging to the psyche of either or both. The continued insistence that the border still exists is only a figment of imagination, and to discover it is really under the control of the Mexican cartels may cause irrevocable harm to the emotional well-being of most of the Joe Stolen/”Que mala” Harris regime.
I WISH the above was satire.
Oh, joy, boundless joy...some more politicians who want to dance in the blood of innocents for political points. All for the appearance of “doing something”...
That ship sailed the day of the tragedy. The nasty left wasted no time.
As a Texas resident I feel offended that the dim witted senile old fool even stepped foot in Texas.
That SOB is there to celebrate. He is absolutely thrilled to have 19 dead kids to use. Yes, he is THAT depraved.
Ya think? Why the hell does Chavez think he came?
