in an attack only hours after the El Paso mass shooting. White House counselor Kellyanne Conway recounted visits Trump has made to grieving communities after mass shootings in Parkland, Florida, and Las Vegas.
El Paso’s Republican mayor, Dee Margo, announced Trump’s visit at a news conference Monday evening, preemptively defending the decision to welcome the president while acknowledging there would be blowback: “I’m already getting the emails and the phone calls.” Democratic Rep. Veronica Escobar and Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke, who was a congressman for six years, both said Trump wouldn’t be welcome in their hometown of El Paso.
Officials say the new grief center will offer counseling, travel assistance and financial support to anyone who needs it.
How about you report that the shooter stated that he was “triggered” while watching the Democratic presidential debate where they all raised their hands to give illegals free healthcare at US taxpayer expense...
Trump Motivated ? What motivates psychos in every shooting of every year of every decade ? = themselves ,no sane person or persons want to kill people. Stop looking for a boogeyman and someone to blame grow up and face the facts that there are mentally ill people out there !!
But most don’t. And most are appreciative of his reaching out
“Some” being most of the world.
I guess we can blame Odumbdumb for cops being slaughtered. He had some good rhetoric for the men in blue.
May have ... But didn't did it
El asesino siempre regresa a la escena del crimen. El cobarde que jalo el gatillo ya esta detenido, pero el idiota que lo embauco viene de visita al Paso. Que poca....
Anti ”illegal” immigration ! WTF is the matter with these fake journalists?
DT's concern is not anti immigrant. It is anti illegal immigrant. There is a large difference which AP and dems always seem to ignore. All law abiding immigrants are welcome. That is how most of us got here. Come legally. Don't flout our laws. Don't bring drugs.
They should open a grief center anywhere that he visits
They don't want him to come!! I know he's really low level cognitive functioning, but I really think he can understand 'Don't Come, We Don't Want You Here'
How on earth does even call itself a news outlet anymore? smdh
The only people “blaming” President Trump are idiots, demented leftwing sore-losers and Democrat politicians who constantly exploit human tragedy to generate more wealth and power for themselves at the expense of Real Americans.
AP... always propaganda
Trump shouldn't be allowed off the plane until he coughs up all the money he owes them for his Feb. rally. He won't, but it might make him leave.
Anyone going to listen to him speak should turn there backs on him just like he has turned his back on Americans. Wouldn't that send a strong message.
I feel sickened by the pretense that terrorists are acting out of some kind of ‘sentiment’ resulting from a ‘remark’. It’s an excuse not to do any investigation of shooter’s associates, phone records and bank accounts-or ✔️ who’s in back of it all. Which is CIA’s specialty?
I suggest getting extra counselors in to help the families and friends of the victims deal with the stress of having the nativist whistler intrude on their grief-and no doubt try to make it all about HIM.
The Associated Press is the leading cause of racism.
I'm sure he feels grief for the city of Austin.
Maybe while he is there he will pay the $500K his campaign owes El Paso.
AP you and the fake news media blame Trump , the people see
What’s happening in Dayton?
Is it a grief center for people grieving over the death of loved ones, or a grief center for people who feel grieved that Donald Trump is coming? You people really need to learn how to better word your headlines
That poor man...that's the reality ..families ripped apart...souls and hearts torn to pieces...lives destroyed..still it goes on..with the clown president in charge...😢
Will you guys ever figure out what an adjective is for? It modifies a noun. As in ILLEGALimmigration. Sheesh. You'd think journalists would know that. But if they do, they either must be careless or deliberately altering meaning. Like saying POTUS opposes immigration. Silly.
I hope absolutely NO ONE shows up to talk to Trump or even shake his hand. I hope no one from El Paso even meets his plane. That would get his attention more than anything else. IGNORE the idiot.
I blame the shooter
I’m embarrassed that he would even show up there. Obviously and unfortunately for this country,he being the president, needs to show up. Such a disgrace though after all of his white nationalist rhetoric.
Will he spend more than 15 mins like he did in the Parkland hospital? “😁👍” Throw anything to the crowd, like he did in PR? Will his plane get the the right city? Will he pay the city back for his rally 🤔So many questions....
Pretty soon all of America is going to be a grief center.
They'll really need a healing center after his visit...
Trump is anti-illegal immigration. The shooter was just anti all immigrants. HUGE difference.
He is just salt on a wound and he doesn’t care, that man is void of human emotions. And add insult to injury he spreads hate like butter with such sickening glee.
Take him to view bodies all the bodies.
Make sure TheRealDonaldTrump pays the police the $500k+ that he owes the heroes that’s saved lives. GunControlNow ElPasoShooting MAGA
So with that same logic, Obama promoted Sandy Hook? Ridiculous!
This headline from Associated Press is the reason we have so much selective & misplaced outrage in the world. Now do Ohio shooter and Elizabeth Warren. Come on I dare you.
“Some”
'May have'
A grief center for Donald Trump... Not for the effects of the 20+ lives that were just destroyed by a deranged psychopath?
Until the news media settles down and stops stirring up this violent rhetoric 24/7 - nothing is going to change.
This will go well. 😑
“Some” being “the media”.
Some?
just morons that got easily manipulated and brainwashed by the media and democrats. sad
Wouldn’t be surprised if Donald went to visit the shooter...
tell him to stay away
