We got to stop this president and his xenophobic rhetoric and trolls, he woken up & emboldened neo nazi sympathizers or domestic terrorists.

kaitlancollins Here's what we know. Our president with his hateful and racist statements have given the go-ahead to this white supremacist violence and trump supporters don't care

You mean what you don’t know.

Here is what we know? No. What we know if that failing to control the manufacture, distribution and sale of guns results in white male nationlaists committing mass murder after mass murder. And Trump is encouraging them.

kaitlancollins Trump has to go. ImpeachTheMF already SpeakerPelosi

These kind of shootings happen due to lack of mental well being. A special place should be given to enhance the mental well being of the American people. The Churches with non-profit organizations should play an important role. ElPasoStrong

They took him in alive,

管好你们自家的事吧……三天两头这样 还有脸全球各地瞎指责……

Trump is responsible for bringing hateful racist rhetoric to the mainstream....

'When Whites can't enslave POC to work for free, or damn near it, many would rather murder ya' That's their 'racism capitalism' that the WSJ is such a fan of.. Once China, India, and Asia kicks them ...out one wonders who they will want to enslave next?

Here's what we know: CNN will lie CNN will blame Trump CNN will blame NRA CNN will call Trump a racist CNN will blame guns instead of killer CNN anchors will shed crocodile tears CNN will have 'experts' that fit their narrative CNN will take advantage of victims loved ones

Terrorist attack in El Paso

He probably have 'Mentally issues' because he is white.

THIS PIG WAS SHOWN AN HOUR BEFORE HIS ATTACK WITH THIS VERY GUN TO FBI OFFICIALS BY A JOURNALIST....AN HOUR?!!!

kaitlancollins What we know is that realDonaldTrump is a white supremacist leader.

They support guns , in Texas ,can't wait for the next shooting let's go for 40 dead ,killers need bigger guns.

White TErrorist call it whatcit is. Go after the white hate crime. Put a stop on selling guns unit White terrorist stop. Hate crimes are terrorist our President needs to be in jail impeachments he needs to resign get him out now

It was a white male so, I'm sure he needs mental health. TexasMassShooting

Trump didn't do the shooting, but he's provided favorable environment and political cover, for white supremacist domestic terrorist groups. Trump and republicans talk about mental health. Because those hate groups are part of they're base.

You know CNN, issue a warning for the world to travel to your country, You can get killed in a walmart, school or an event in Las Vegas or California. Everywhere.

Did this killer at alone?

Immigrant hater goes to El Paso to kill immigrants. He succeeded most likely killing European decendant who are actually the immigrants in Texas. Mexican descendant have lived in Texas for generations to dates when Texas was Mexico. Hate has no bounds of stupidity.

So many shootings and people doing other crazy stuff in Walmart peeing on potato’s, licking ice cream, it’s wildmart

let me guess... somebody shooting people he saw as immigrants... if so, Trump is responsible.

realDonaldTrump is responsible for this

Here’s what we know - the Republican Senate majority has their collective hands up their collective asses. They have no shame and deserve to be voted out of office. We need responsible gun laws. Do your job, Senators. DitchMitch LeningradLindsay RepublicanCowarkdiceMustEnd

Not gonna mention the fact the El Paso shooter was a trump supporter? trumps hands are covered in a mixture of blood and fake tan

Still waiting to see a statement from realDonaldTrump denouncing white nationalist terrorism and announcing a path and plan to ensure this never happens again. A broken nation is waiting.

'WILDMART' needs to be shut down at least until the can get some adequate security,every week there is something crazy happening at one of their stores,people licking food,police killing a man with a toy gun that he was going to buy,countless of fights & now mass shootings

I just don't understand why this keep happening. My prayers for those good people. Texas Sad

I'm depressed. 1/ I have a gun. 2/ I don't have a gun. Make your choice of future for your country.

Hey Greg Abbott the Governorof Texas ... remember this photo...? You just Said “ give a hug “ like you are hugging this assault rifle? Hypocrisy activeshooter walmartshooting GunControl gunsense massshooting

Description: U S American citizen white Male......

Another tragedy caused by a domestic terrorist. The republicans by their failure to support sensible and effective legislation on weapons continue to have their fingers on the triggers of the weapons each time this occurs.

I could care less about guns but even though there have always been shootings from domestic fighting, gangs and other crimes. We have never seen so many crowd shootings before. Don’t ever remember this growing up and there were guns everywhere. Something is going on and....

It's a sad thing, but we know you're going to blame Trump

Why is this news ?

Civilised country

what happend in this democracy nation is 'a beautiful landscape'

You guys really gonna care when it happens to one of your family Sad to say put when gun violence gonna ✋

What we know. The shooter is a young white guy. He had posted trump ideas. Hate. Wall. Hate.

Gun control is a theory that only works on paper. We need to talk about and tackle mental illness.

so bad😞

Its America...shooter was white and likely he was troubled. Guessing he felt minimized and a fan of the Adulterer in chief. Racially motivated..its America so of course

What we know is it’s devastating, unnecessary and without change will be one of many similar tragedies. Republicans need to stand up, be heard and serve the public you were elected to represent. Silence is cowardly.

21. Have the guts to put the number in your headline. Change won't come by hiding numbers from sensitive eyes by writing 'multiple.'

We know Trump and Mitch don’t care.

My hearts go out to the families. Terrible day. This is why more ppl need to carry guns. This is why more ppl need to take a Conceal Carry course. 2ndAmendment

please remind people that the shoppers who come across from Mexico to day shop come over legally.

Here's what we know: a right-wing white nationalist Trump supporter went on a shooting spree and killed and wounded dozens of people. Again.

It's funny, if the shooter were Muslim yelled something about some Islamic group Trump would be yelling at the top of his lungs Terrorist attack. White, shooter with ties to some white supremist group NOTHING.

My prayers are going out to Texas ElPaso 💔🙏

This is the racist shooter PatrickCrusius

What I know is that realDonaldTrump inspired and enabled a mass murderer and should be held accountable.

The issue is white supremacist domestic terrorism. That’s all you need to know.

Pourquoi tant de crimes aux USA 🇺🇸? Éduquez vos enfants svp...

America you are a failed country

CNN just ID'd shooter on a front page headline as 'white male.' I searched CNN to see if they identified Va Beach shooter as a 'black male' and could find nothing. Apparently CNN doesn't even recognize its own racial bias.

Liberals shooting up people again

I’ll bet no one gets water thrown on them today in Texas!!!!

This is Domestic Terrorism, and it’s again a weapon designed to kill humans. This is not a weapon civilians should have access too. This is a crisis and realDonaldTrump is doing nothing about it. Vote him out, and vote someone in to protect our defenseless children!

You actually you KNOE nothing! was crazy guy frustrated about his life, and maybe right full so and we have to look into that..why the HAPPINESS indicator is so low! but of course, taking human lives will not helpp..well is a crime but more that that it does not solve..

I'm watching KTSM El paso live. They just said the police confirmed one dead. 13 admitted to local Hospital.

We know for certain that we cannot trust to report the facts and be truthful. smh

I'm still upset that CNN showed pictures of the wounded and dying in front of Walmart twice. Thanks Wolff blitzer I changed the channel.

cnnbrk MSNBC ABC This is clearly a trump inspired idiot! not just blaming but he actually wrote down his motivations and its clearly realDonaldTrump who is inspiring the rise and boldness of these people! MAGA hat wearing,go home chanting trump supporters!

Cause 'murica what else?

PartickManifesto SupremacistTerrorist

This Alexis_JM99

AMERICA - the El Paso murder wasn’t a lone wolf, he isn’t a child, he isn’t mentally disturbed... he isn’t any excuse you will make up.. he’s a racist who followed the lead of trump and all other scapegoaters

This is the new normal. It’s disgusting and sad and I can not believe that absolutely no action has been taken to stop it. SICKENING

Hey, happy now CNN, DON LEMON AND THE REST OF MAIN STREAM MEDIA have something good and exciting to report. They can Blame yet again Trump,, since Mueller took their thunder awy. They are probablty all dring Champaign as I type this. They make me as sick as this shooter.

White supremacist, inspired by realDonaldTrump looked up to him. Trump and every one of his low life supporters are directly responsible for the deaths and injuries to these people. It's time he and they are called out for it.

The only country on planet Earth with this staggering loss of life problem that everyone else seems to be able to deal with GunControl

And our main focus in this country is keeping out landscapers and dishwashers.

Here’s what I know. DrPhil most certainly doesn’t deserve to be part of your special coverage. How many times do I have to say it. If I have to say it again, I will.

There can not be over 50% of Americans that support assault weapons. Prayers to the families. Time to end it. Period.

It was a white supremicist. That should be the headline

Coming to a Wal-Mart near you, soon I’m sure. Have a nice day.

United States has problem with mass shootings in last 20 years. Americans always have had guns. What happened in last 20 years?

We know he is a TRUMP supporter

Here's what I know....life is cheap in the US and it seems to be everyman for himself and it also seems Americans quite enjoy it with the lack of action on gun control.

Every Republican official needs to step up and denounce radical right-wing terrorism by name!

Too bad.

Let me guess Security cameras were accidently turned off. Drill happened the day before. Lying Media CNN are all over it. Multiple agencies on scene like within seconds.

Peace to that community. To the injured, wishes for speedy recoveries. To the families and friends of those killed, may God grant you peace. To this country and its so called leaders, shame on you.

What is this God

Thoughts and prayers won’t help but strict gun control laws might help.

Good guys with guns.......... Where were they?

We know nothing will be done about it.

We know it’s yet another mass shooting in the US..
