That "both sides" crap again...

“I am concerned for any group of hate

“I don’t like it, whether it’s white supremacy or any other kind of supremacy

“whether it’s ANTIFA, whether it’s any group or kind of hate.”

El Paso braces for Trump visit: Medical workers petition against potus visit

“We are the nurses, physicians, and medical staff who have cared for those injured and killed in the terrorist attack on our community,” the petition said. “Given President Trump’s rhetoric on immigration, we believe that a visit to our medical campus will be harmful for both the families affected and medical teams caring for those families.”

Lisa Moore, an obstetrician with privileges at two area hospitals, said she signed the petition because she worries the president has “created an environment of fear,” especially for her Hispanic colleagues, in the wake of a shooting that specifically targeted people of Hispanic descent.

“Given President Trump’s rhetoric on immigration, we believe that a visit to our medical campus will be harmful for both the families affected and medical teams caring for those families.”

The petition reads
“Obviously the president of the United States did not put a gun in his hand or drive him here, but I do believe the president sets the tone that gives people the freedom to express things they previously wouldn’t have expressed and do things they previously wouldn’t have done,” she said.
