Leaving the White House on Wednesday to visit Ohio and Texas, President Trump said he doesn’t think his rhetoric has contributed to violence. Some of his words mirrored language linked to one of the weekend’s shooters.
President Donald Trump is defending his incendiary rhetoric in the wake of two mass shootings.
Democrats vying to challenge Trump in the 2020 election have been nearly unanimous in excoriating Trump for rhetoric they say nurtured the racist attitudes of the El Paso shooter. Another bipartisan proposal is gaining momentum to create a federal grant program to encourage states to adopt “red flag” laws to take guns away from people believed to be a danger to themselves or others.
In February, during a packed Trump rally in El Paso supporting a U.S.-Mexico border wall, O’Rourke drew thousands with his own counter speech across the street.
