2020 Democrats get desperate after El Paso shooting
Washington Examiner, Aug 6, 2019, Eddie Scarry

The national media are never going to like anything about President Trump, so it doesn’t matter that they’re panning his pitch-perfect remarks Monday at the White House on the two mass shootings that took place over the weekend.

While they’re busy searching their hearts for yet more reasons to hate Trump, they're missing the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates make complete asses of themselves as they try to out-grieve and out-outrage one another.

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas, struggling with 3% national support, nearly came apart at the seams on Monday when a reporter asked an innocuous question about how Trump should respond to the shooting in El Paso. “I don’t know,” O’Rourke replied, “like, members of the press — what the f--k?!”

That grand display of magnanimity earned him a front-page Washington Post story on Tuesday praising his “raw, emotional” reaction. The sticky-sweet piece, authored by Jenna Johnson, went on to note that the candidate had “quickly called his wife to make sure that she and their children were safe” when he heard about the shooting. (By what can only be a twist of fate, it turned out that O’Rourke’s multimillionaire wife was not at Walmart at the time of the massacre.)

"By what can only be a twist of fate, it turned out that O’Rourke’s multimillionaire wife was not at Walmart at the time of the massacre."

So, she should give up all her money and go to Walmart so she will get shot?
And, Beto should not get upset, should not cry, so many were killed in El Paso?

Beto is a dork, but he grew up there, was in government there, knows "gobs" of people there, and people were killed.  Certainly, anyone would have tears about these people being killed, except Trump would not shed a tear, would blame Democrats.

That is simply ranting.

Wait to see what Trump says today in El Paso and Dayton.  See if he is sympathetic about those killed or spends his speaking time attacking Democrats.
