Trump on mass shootings: 'Hate has no place in our country'
The Hill, Aug 4, 2019

President Trump on Sunday declared “hate has no place in our country” after a pair of back-to-back mass shootings over the weekend rocked the nation.

“Hate has no place in our country and we're going to take care of it,” Trump told reporters in Morristown Airport before departing for the White House after spending the weekend at his New Jersey golf resort.

Trump was speaking publicly for the first time about the deadly shootings. He ignored shouted questions about whether the El Paso shooter’s anti-immigrant manifesto shared similarities with his rhetoric and said the shootings are part of “a mental illness problem.”

The president said his White House has “done much more than most administrations” when it comes to addressing gun violence, but conceded “perhaps more has to be done.”

He said he would deliver a lengthier statement at 10 a.m. Monday at the White House.

Trump praised the actions of police in El Paso and Dayton, saying “it would have been unbelievable. It is horrible, but it would have been so much worse.”

Officers in Dayton arrived at the scene of the shooting within a minute and shot dead the suspected gunman, who was armed with a powerful rifle and high-capacity magazines.

The president said he had spoken to Attorney General William Barr, FBI Director Christopher Wray, the Ohio and Texas governors as well as members of Congress.

“We have to get it stopped,” he said. “This has been going on for years, for years and years in our country.”

Pity you didn't listen to the whole of the statement ... you know where he praised first responders and spoke of the root problem of mental illness.

Upon reflection, maybe you should.

Respectfully, any statement from any politician on this matter is cant!!!
These murderers behave this way because they have no fear of consequence;
no surprise given the buffoons, clowns, frauds, hustlers, jerks, morons, schmucks
we allow to represent us.
Again, we get the governance we tolerate and deserve!!!
