kpete's JournalTrump: "Condemn me."
Trump says the El Paso shooter's manifesto was "consumed by racist hate." He says Americans "must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacism. These sinister ideologies must be defeated."

Give me softball media coverage or my followers will keep slaughtering people?
@realDonaldTrump
The Media has a big responsibility to life and safety in our Country. Fake News has contributed greatly to the anger and rage that has built up over many years. News coverage has got to start being fair, balanced and unbiased, or these terrible problems will only get worse!

Chilling: FBI won't investigate white supremacists because it targets the president's base
The FBI wont investigate white supremacists because their boss, the president, is a white supremacist, and he likes white supremacists. A real conundrum.
I believe Christopher A. Wray is an honorable man, but I think in many ways the FBI is hamstrung in trying to investigate the white supremacist movement like the old FBI would, Gomez said. Theres some reluctance among agents to bring forth an investigation that targets what the president perceives as his base. Its a no-win situation for the FBI agent or supervisor.

Trump: we must respond to white supremacist terrorism by...giving them exactly what they want.
Let me see if I got this: A white supremacist comes to my community with a weapon of war, murders my neighbors because they are Latino, and we should tie tepid gun measures to honoring a terrorist's grievances?

....this legislation with desperately needed immigration reform. We must have something good, if not GREAT, come out of these two tragic events!

We have a gun problem
Over 10 million Americans live with a mental health issue. There aren't 10 million mass murderers. But every mass murderer has a gun. It's a gun problem.

" Hey Congress do something! End gun violence now!"
An AMAZING thing just happened in the nationally televised Philadelphia Union game (in Washington v. D.C. United). The Union's Alejandro Bedoya scored in the 3rd minute, ran to the corner where the on-field mic is located, and screamed, "END GUN VIOLENCE NOW!"
Apparently the whole quote may have been "Hey Congress do something! End gun violence now!" I'll post video as soon as someone puts it up. Bedoya has frequently played for the U.S. national team #USMNT

" I want the president to hear this': Cousin of shooting victim begs for interview
This has got to stop and today is going to be the day that it does stop, Davenport continued. Im shouting out to the president of the United States. I want this to go viral. Make sure this is on every news station. My cousins did not deserve to lose their life. They had children. Hard-working people. All they were doing is enjoying a night on the town, and theyre dead. Never to come home again, never to see their family again. Theyre gone. And I want the president to hear this. Donald Trump, I want you to hear this. You need to be here right now. You need to.
