Robert 'Beto' O’Rourke Blames Trump for the Mass Shootings, “He stokes racism. He incites violence.”
When presidential candidate Robert ‘Beto’ O’Rourke was asked by a reporter what the president could do “to make this any better,” in regard to the El Paso shooting, he replied, “What do you think? You know the sh*t he’s been saying,” he said. “He’s been calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals. I don’t know, like, members of the press, what the f*ck? Hold on a second. You know, I—it’s these questions that you know the answers to.”

On Monday afternoon, O’Rourke tweeted, “This president, who helped create the hatred that made Saturday’s tragedy possible, should not come to El Paso. We do not need more division. We need to heal. He has no place here.”
