Trump on El Paso shooting: We must condemn white supremacy
By Jordan Fabian - 08/05/19 10:17 AM EDT
President Trump on Monday called on the nation to condemn white supremacy in the aftermath of a deadly shooting in El Paso, Texas allegedly carried out by a gunman who posted an anti-immigrant manifesto.
“The shooter in El Paso posted a manifesto online consumed with racist hate,†Trump said during remarks inside the Diplomatic Room of the White House.
“In one voice, our nation must condemn bigotry, hatred and white supremacy," he said. "These sinister ideologies must be defeated.â€
Trump also said federal law enforcement agencies would receive “whatever they need†in order to crack down on white nationalists.

Lights out Whites out.

Big, big mistake for Trump to buy into the Leftist narrative of events.

With all due respect Mr. President...most of us already do.

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.

I wouldn't have expected anything less from Spartacus.
Elizabeth Warren is already sending out fund raising tweets on the backs of the two shootings.
What we all need to realize is that the Dems will continue to crap on any efforts to curb gun violence unless the end result is a total ban on and confiscation of all personally owned firearms.

“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.

No, because white supremacy had absolutely nothing to do with these shootings, despite what the media has been trying to say.

Bullshit. If the manifesto is the work of the shooter in Texas, then the moral rot of white supremacy appears to have had everything to do with it. Or are you suggesting that the shooter and his manifesto were false flags?

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

If we are to take the manifesto seriously the shootings had more to do with environmentalism than white supremacy.

@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 ? :pondering:

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

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.

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.
-
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. 9999hair out0000 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. :chairbang:

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

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

:amen: :amen: 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. **nononono*

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. :shrug:

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

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.
-
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.
-

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.

Well, anyone who takes an honest look at the situation should realize that Leftists tend to be racist.
What other group has systematically enticed a large ethnic minority group to become fully dependent on the State for their provender (de facto slaves), when they are not enticing them to slaughter their own young (abortion)?
Even the general condescension toward people who look different permeates their rhetoric to the extent they permit those in their ranks who identify as being of different skin tones to be blatantly racist against the rest of Americans. It's a sh*tshow, but it's all racist, and so varied in nature, it'd be correct to call it equal opportunity racism, conducted regardless of the race of those they thus denigrate.

But he did and they are using it. The irony is that if our government had done the right thing at the border this guy probably would not have killed people.
I don't like Trumps approach. This guy took real issues and twisted them into he had to take action. Instead of what should be done the government needs to take action. This guy was on the edge in so many ways. This country right now is a peetree dish of hate and division waiting to go wrong.
Trump recently said Nancy Pelosi isn't a racist. Nancy Pelosi is a racist. She says Donald Trump is trying to make America white agian. Thats the sentiment within the Democratic party. That isn't racist? Barack Obama said that white supremacy is in our genes. It must be perfectly OK to say that white people are undesireably, lazy, not wanting to work drug addicts.
I don't know. Sadly politicians will use this tragedy for their own political goals. Instead of looking inward to the cause of racial division. There is nothing in our founding documents that advocates for racial division. Nothing to advocate special considerations based on race, religion or personal sexual preference.
Dividing the country up into favored groups for votes feeds hate.

Perhaps a better approach would have been to remind folks that one of our major political parties was founded on the condemnation of white supremacy, while the other fought tooth and nail against civil rights.
I'm not advocating using tragedy for political gains, but don't word your statement such that it makes it look like our side is the evil one.

Truth. There is a difference between advocating tragedies and wanting laws upheld. And where do the Democrats think they have room to talk about racist?
The Racist Agenda Of The Democratic Party Will Shock You
We have all heard the claims that the Republican Party is racist. People who believe this nonsense are in dire need of a history lesson. It’s time to pin the tail on the donkey. Not only does the Democratic Party have an extremely racist history, but its current policies are also holding minorities back.
In March of 1854, the Republican Party was officially formed in opposition to the Democrat’s pro-slavery stance. Under Republican President Abraham Lincoln, The Republican-controlled Congress passed the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in 1865. While 100% of the Republicans voted for the 13th amendment, only 23% of the Democrats voted for it. A couple years later, the Supreme Court ruled on Dred Scott v. Sanford. The decision was divided between two Republican justices and seven Democratic justices. With the Democrats in the majority, the Supreme Court ruled that African-Americans could not be considered citizens of the United States.
By 1866, Democrats founded the KKK as a way of trying to combat the Republican Party’s efforts to establish equality for African-Americans. Despite the Democrat Party’s claims to be all about equality, its ties to the KKK have lasted for over a century and are still ongoing. Robert Byrd, a Democrat, served in the House of Representatives from 1953 to 1959 and the Senate from 1959 to 2010. In the 1940s, Byrd created a new chapter of the KKK in West Virginia. Byrd once wrote in a letter, “I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side … Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.†During Byrd’s first campaign, he announced that he was no longer a member of the KKK. However, the Democratic Party’s ties to the KKK do not end there. Just this past March, Will Quigg, a KKK leader switched his support from Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton. Quigg stated, “She is telling everybody one thing, but she has a hidden agenda.â€
Shortly after the KKK was founded, the 14th Amendment was passed in 1868, which granted citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States.†While 100 percent of Republicans voted in favor of the 14th Amendment, every single Democrat voted against it. Following the 14th Amendment, the 15th Amendment gave African-American men the right to vote. Of course, the Democrats voted against this as well. Clearly, the Democrats were doing everything they could to suppress the rights of African-Americans. So in the 1870s, when they gained control of Congress in all of the southern states, the Democrats instilled Jim Crow laws.
For many years to come, Democrats were on a mission to stop the Republican Party’s efforts towards equality. In 1918, the Democrats blocked an anti-lynching bill that a Republican introduced to the House of Representatives. The Democrat’s KKK had lynched thousands of people and the proposed bill was aimed at punishing those who committed these horrific acts.............
