A war of words between the former Texas congressman and the president showed no signs of cooling as Trump headed to El Paso.
Ahead of Donald Trump’s visit to El Paso, Texas, Wednesday to pay tribute to the victims of Saturday’s mass shooting that left 22 people dead, the president and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke escalated their war of words on one another.
“He’s trying to intimidate this community, make us afraid of one another, of our differences, of the border, of immigrants, and we will not stand down,” O’Rourke told MSNBC. “What do you think? You know the sh** he’s been saying,” O’Rourke responded. “He’s been calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals. I don’t know — members of the press — what the f**k? You know, it’s these questions that you know the answers to — I mean — connect the dots about what he’s been doing in this country. He’s not tolerating racism, he’s inciting racism and violence in this country.
