WASHINGTON – 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke, who is from El Paso, Texas — the location of a mass shooting where more than 20 people were killed in an apparent racist attack — said Monday that President Donald Trump is not welcome there.

O'Rourke, who has repeatedly labeled Trump a "racist," said that Trump helped create the tragedy in El Paso.

"This president, who helped create the hatred that made Saturday's tragedy possible, should not come to El Paso," O'Rourke wrote on Twitter. "We do not need more division. We need to heal. He has no place here."

Trump will be visiting El Paso on Wednesday, Mayor Dee Margo said during a press conference on Monday afternoon. Margo said he will meet with the president, as it is not a political visit.

2. Will the racist in Chief be bringing a check?

He has an outstanding debt of over $400,000.00 to the city of El Paso. 5 months past due. The debt is for security from his hate rally.

"Let the taxpayers pay the bill"

8. O'Rourke sure has been effective in setting the narrative and driving the discussion

He has really stepped up and shown true leadership.

11. He's the same old Beto I saw in person - full of energy and fire

People who call him to drop out will be disappointed because he is a hardworking maniac and he loves being the underdog

[nevergiveup]

9. How could it be

that El Paso has a Republican mayor? That is mind boggling.

[dalton99a]

12. He's a 'social liberal' who probably voted for Beto

He never endorsed Cruz. He also spoke out against Trump's immigration policies

10. Hopefully Trump will read from the Bible
