"I declined the invitation because I refuse to be an accessory to his visit," said Escobar, who represents El Paso."I refuse to join without a dialogue about the pain his racist and hateful words & actions have caused our community and country."Trump's visit to El Paso Wednesday comes after a man opened fire at a shopping center, killing 22 people. A 21-year-old white supremacist is in custody in the domestic terrorism case.
Read More"I have publicly said he has a responsibility to acknowledge the power of his words, apologize for them, and take them back because they are still hanging over us," Escobar added."I asked for a call so I could say this to him over the phone and ask for a dialogue that could lead to healing."Escobar's criticism joins Democratic presidential candidate and El Paso native Beto O'Rourke, who has also urged Trump to not visit the city.
RepEscobar CNN Democrats are dystroying Texas, it's PAST TIME for the citizens of Texas VOTE THEM OUT
RepEscobar CNN She is a nasty bias politicians that doesn’t understand respect! A generation of trouble makers with no consequences!
good, Congresswoman please stay away you have nothing constructive to add
This is what I’m talking about she don’t want any solution she just want to blame someone cuz is cheap that way
Stop spreading lies and hatred! You liberals are way worse than trump!!!
VERY proud of you Rep. Escobar! Thank you!
This wouldnt have happened if we had built that wall already. Arrest Obama and send Michelle back to Africa. Trump 2020!
You were just window dressing anyway, sweetheart. RepEscobar he really doesn’t care if you’re there because you’re not that important...it was a courtesy invitation. 😂😂
Did she just say she is a criminal, drug dealer, or human trafficker! and she doesn't consider she is an AMERICAN! No wonder she 'FEELS' she has a target on her back or maybe she is just an 'Accesory' to those crimes!!
Just an accessory to the party with no solutions, history of labeling everything they don't agree with as 'Racist' promoting violence, and doesn't condemn the violence of their allied domestic terrorist group 'Antifa'. What is she so proud of?
Cnn, msnbc have given days of non stop coverage to those killed in Texas and my condolences to those who passed but not even one second of coverage was given to the 52 murders over the weekend in Chicago.. does anyone see what’s really going on in the media ?
Emotional ignorance
you want dialogue but won’t talk. not helpful
The only sure thing Trump can commit to is another Lie added to his application for The Most Lies by a Sitting President.
When those on the left say they care about unity after tragedy, see examples like this.
Saying no for what purpose exactly? It shows that yet another politician is unwilling to put their childish pettiness aside & try to work together. They don't really want a solution, or progress. Just drama, lies, hate, & votes. Meanwhile we suffer. MentalHealthReformNOW
Good don't be a part of his drama shit show.
And then we refused to support you you were no longer in the Congress anymore
Trumpstayhome realdonaldtrump potus
He's flirting with disaster.
Ah, the loudest voices for tolerance come from the most intolerant......
There’s that spirit of unity and bi-partisanship in the wake of tragedy that can help people heal...
She’s a big girl
