Fake News Media Tries to Blame Trump for Latest Tragedy

CNN attempted to place blame on Trump for the mass shooting in El Paso, but the mayor of the town refused to  take the bait. The Daily Caller reports:

El Paso Mayor Dee Margo pushed back when CNN anchor Jake Tapper pressed him to criticize President Donald Trump in the wake of Saturday’s mass shooting in his city.

After a brief summary of the events that occurred, Tapper noted that many who were out shopping when shots rang out in El Paso were going about their preparations for the upcoming school year. (RELATED: 20 People Dead After El Paso Shooting, Governor Says)

“It was a normal Saturday, preparing for the school year to begin,” Margo confirmed. “I mean, this will not define us. It’s a tragedy that we had never experienced. And I hope to never, ever experience again. None of us have been prepared for it. At least our law enforcement was, but no. We’re going to have to deal with this. It’s not going to get any —I don’t think anything is going to be easier until after we — or start passing until we conduct these 20 funerals.”

Tapper then turned the topic to the manifesto that has been attributed to the alleged shooter, asking whether the president’s rhetoric played a role in the shooting.

The mass shooting epidemic is the result of radical rhetoric from white supremacists, but also the general loneliness of many young men, who are constantly bombarded by alarming rhetoric from various political groups. America needs to return its trust in God and communities to combat this evil, and disrupt those that attempt to cause instability within the nation.

The Lost Angeles Times published recently study they did of mass shootings since 1966 in order to ascertain what the key causative reason of these events were. One of the more important items they mentioned was that this constant publicity of these events may serve as a trigger for people who are predisposed to commit crimes of this nature and it would be a good idea to depublicize them and not give them as much attention. As an aside to those of you who are going to demand that there be more gun control and you want to take people’s firearms, I offer the following. First there is no way you are taking 300 million firearms from 40% of the population in your lifetime. Second, if you are advocating confiscation then don’t count on having some poor law enforcement officer getting their butt shot off, if you want them come and get them yourself and if you don’t have the stones to do that keep your mouth shut.

Since the left considers the means justify the ends I often wonder when the frequency of these things happen, if rouge elements of the left are coordinating these to ramp up the case for gun control. I grew up in a time you couldn’t pass a pickup in this East Texas area I grew up in and there was not a shotgun or a rifle or both in a window rack. This was true even in the High School student parking areas. There were no school shootings. There were no public mass shootings. Only when the left began it’s hardcore progressive socialist agenda and demanding controls on private citizens right to buy and carry arms did this begin. Socialists have a propensity to sacrifice a portion of the populace to achieve their goals for the good of the collective. Bill Ayers was once quoted by an F.B.I. undercover agent as saying when the Socialists finally overthrew the U.S. Government they would have to eliminate at least 40 million citizens who would not reeducate to socialism. In a planning session for Gun Walker it was brought up that Law Officers and innocents might be killed with the guns allowed to cross the border. Obama was quoted as saying”You can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs.” Gun Walker was the Obama Administration scheme to ramp up calls for more stricter gun control. When considering this, is it such a leap that elements of the left might be will to stage such operations to achieve total gun confiscation like they really want. Socialism only functions when the citizenry are completely disarmed.

The democRATS like mad Maxine is not helping, she constantly tweets for violence against republicans, there are deranged people in the US and some of them are going to take her talks seriously, these kinds of talks should be condemned by both democRATS and republicans in congress, maybe it will stop some of the shootings

These leftist Village Idiots are on programmed on autopilot. One of the shootings was cut short by a Cop – who just happened to be there. What if he was not? What if a gun-free zoner had refused to follow this stupid rule and brought his/her gun, instead. Wait… that would be conscious thought and likely a Pro-Trumper or at lease a Conservative or Libertarian – never a leftist Obama-Bernie-Hillary progressive, gun grabber. The Concealed Carrier could, also, have drawn down on the shooter (not a suspect at that point, an actual shooter) and stopped further loss of life. When a site is 100% gun-free and all the people are following those deadly rules you do not have a blood bath – you have a blood tidal wave.

So….. the Government (primarily the Democrats) did away with insane asylums. (Bad call.) The government(s) have ‘outlawed’ any mention of God in our public schools and the universities have become institutions for teaching godlessness. So now we are seeing the consequences of all these so-called ‘progressive’ measures. When will they ever learn? God is real…. you better believe it.–
