Trump on El Paso shooting: We must condemn white supremacy

[Victoria33]

More facts are needed as is taking a look at the closeness of the mass shootings along with the DEM campaigns.  The left needed something solid to run on; ending white supremacy, gun control and clean energy.  That captures the black vote, the hispanic vote the millennial vote and the far left.

@libertybele

I agree with you.  Three big reasons to get liberal AND independent voters.  The Dem candidates can all agree this is why they must win, vote for any one of them to stop the killing and stop global warming.

The left has to be loving all of the focus being on the shooter in El Paso and no one looking at the shooter in Dayton Saturday night. 

Wonder why that is ?

[Jazzhead]

Based on the language, he was a separatist, not a supremacist.

Distinction without a difference -  certainly when the end result is deliberate murder.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Trump gained nothing from this statement.

Oh, good grief @dfwgator and @All  The President knew …. as did everyone with two working brain cells …. he was going to take hostile AND friendly fire no matter what he said or didn't say.  And everyone everywhere has proven him right.

But for cripes sake, folks --- buckle up already.  We're in for one hell of a bumpy ride and this is just the beginning.

The President's holding off his tweets until all the bodies are identified and claimed.

If only the media had that kind of control.

The left aren't focusing attention on the Dayton shooter and his motives like they are the El Paso shooter because the shooter in Dayton is an avowed socialist and Elizabeth Warren supporter.

He doesn't fit the media narrative so they're gonna act like he doesn't exist.

[libertybele]

Reports are the shooter had a hit list and a rape list --- somehow to me, that just doesn't equate to "white supremacy".  It equates to mental illness.

Secondly, this "coincidence" is backing the GOP, NRA, and the President into a corner.  A corner in which they need to stand firm; guns don't kill people, people kill people. 

Yes, the DEMS are lovin' this.  Every single one (except Castro to an extent) is pointing fingers at Trump hatred, racism and bigotry.       He should have never tied any of this to border security as now every liberal idiot sees that the situation at the border is about race rather than about securing our border to protect LEGAL citizens.

Thank you Pres. Trump for saying this

Still, the Dayton massacre dulls whatever political points they're making.

That said, however... have read that a high majority of victims in Dayton are black.

Gee ... I don't know ... they are just aching to make TX blue.

Well, could be the area of Dayton would be my guess -- black population of Dayton is appx. 40% (based on 2010 census data).

Exactly.  Hence the reason they're pretending it didn't happen.

It was also being reported that the shooters sister who was one of those killed was dating a black guy.

Again...it kills the narrative the left is trying to push right now.  Really goes to show what their true objective is

For what it's worth....

While we (all here) may have had our differences in the past.... it is imperative that we stand together against the radical left now (olde saying about either hang together or be hanged separately).  Unity is the ONLY thing that can save us now, because we are up against the most radical evil on the planet.  And the rabid, radical left is doing everything humanly (and otherwise) possible to distance Trump from his supporters.

Trump is no saint, but I firmly believe (now) that he is the only thing standing between us and the rabid, radical left's control over us all.   God works in mysterious ways, and I believe this is God's will.  That said, I also believe that the saving grace effect is only going to be temporary (for whatever reason).  Giving us all more time... it is up to us to figure out what that 'more time' is supposed to be used for.   

I would be making contingency plans for whenever Trump is "out" of office.

         Frightening thing is Trump could be out of office in a little over a year if the GOP doesn't pull together.  As for a contingency plan ... we just downsized in the same city ... should have headed for the hills instead.

Depends.   There's strength in numbers if you are organized.  In 'the hills' you might find yourself trying to fight the radical left alone.  In the city, if you organize, at least you won't be fighting alone.

Thanks @XenaLee I need a different perspective right now.

And isn't it about flippin' time?

It’s not the first time he’s mentioned it.


“Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups,” Trump said.

'Racism Is Evil.' Trump Condemns White Supremacists 2 Days After Charlottesville Violence

[Fishrrman]

I posted this once, but I'll repeat:
========================
After decades of using the word "racist" to shut up whites and make them cower...

... and since the doing of same has made that term all-but meaningless insofar as whites go...

... the democrat-communists needed a NEW catchphrase to toss at traditional-minded Americans with which to shut them up, by which to cower them, the use of which will destroy any possibility of dialogue or reasoned response.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the new "silencer":
"White nationalism"

Shout it with pride and determination !
Guaranteed to make most whites turn and run !

You mean a Leftist, who might have been motivated by racism, did the shooting?

Well, that would throw a monkey wrench into their well oiled rhetoric.

[Jazzhead]

The Dayton shooter is the more compelling example of why new laws  are needed - specifically, red flag laws that can remove guns from the possession of nutcases.   The El Paso shooter doesn't implicate gun laws,  or the lack thereof.  He is a political terrorist,  and can be addressed by swift application of the death penalty.

White nationalism.   Hmm.....

Won't most (sane, logical) people just translate that into being patriotic, loving America and identifying as Caucasian?   Nothing wrong with that.....not a damn thing.  Yet the left will demonize it.  False memes and name-calling is all they have, pardon the term, left.

[txradioguy]

Actually both shootings were done by a leftist motivated by racism as more facts come to light.  But because there was a mention by the El Paso shooter of a dislike for Hispanics the Libs and the Media are making this monster a Trump supporter by default.
