The shooter’s idea is directly from Trump’s playbook: “Killing Hispanics will stop immigrants from coming and drive citizens to leave. ‘I am simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by invasion.’”https://t.co/vn5XKTG6mZ

President Trump's racism does not just offend our sensibilities; it fundamentally changes the character of this country. And it leads to violence. pic.twitter.com/SbuxGneFnh

I edited it for you, @Walmart.
“We're in shock over the tragic events at Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, where store 2201 & club 6502 are located. We’re praying for the victims, but prayers are not enough, which is why we will no longer be selling guns in any of our stores.” https://t.co/9TKvliqv47

If any other country experienced 250+ mass shootings over an eight-month period, Americans would be warned against all non-essential travel there. https://t.co/gIqIn9kgSK

In DC, the narrative has been that Republicans are largely embarrassed by the president’s rhetoric. But in the Dayton, OH area Trump supporters in the suburbs told me they are excited about the president’s words. Meanwhile, immigrants in the city are living in fear & are on edge. https://t.co/cCB8iBovv3
