What could be more fitting on the morning Mr Trump pretends to condemn White Supremacists?
BY CHRIS MILLS RODRIGO
The hashtag "WhiteSupremacistinChief" trended at number one on Twitter Monday following President Trump's responses to the two mass shooting that rocked the country over the weekend.
A gunman killed 20 people and wounded dozens more in an attack at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday.
Less than 24 hours later, at least nine people were killed and more than two dozen were injured in a Dayton, Ohio, shooting. The two shootings are not believed to be linked.
Patrick Wood Crusius, the alleged gunman in the El Paso shooting, is believed to have written a racist, anti-immigrant manifesto before the attack, which described fears of a Latino “invasion."
Democratic leaders have drawn comparisons between Crusius's alleged motives and Trump’s immigration rhetoric, suggesting the president contributed to the environment that led to the attack.
On Monday, after the hashtag had already been trending, Trump in remarks from the White House called on the nation to condemn white supremacy.
Trump still refuses to acknowledge his own part in promoting the ideology of hatred. This after Trump largely spent the last half of July race baiting.
Something only America’s worst president might do.
