President Trump spoke to the press before leaving for Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas saying that there is a “double standard” coming from the left regarding the shootings. He said that even though the Dayton shooter was a leftist involved with Antifa, the media and politicians aren’t applying the same criticism because it’s not politically expedient.
“My critics are political people, they’re trying to make points in many cases they’re running for president and are very low in the polls. These are people looking for political gain, and I don’t think they’re getting it and, as much as possible, I’ve tried to stay out of it.”
The president delivered the line of the day when he responded to the media about Biden’s over-the-top criticisms saying Trump is like George Wallace:
“Joe Biden has truly lost his fastball, that I can tell you.”
The president commented on the great job by first responders and how this visit is a chance to thank them for doing a great job:
“It’s a terrific opportunity really to congratulate some of the police and law enforcement, the job they’ve done is incredible, really incredible,”

President Trump also spoke out on hate groups:
President @realDonaldTrump condemns all hate groups, including Antifa leftists:
"I am concerned about the rise of any group of hate. Whether it's white supremacy — Whether it's Antifa. Whether it's any group of hate. I am very concerned about it and I'll do something about it." pic.twitter.com/9JOPkwPw7j

The president tweeted earlier in the morning to tell Beto O’Rourke to knock off the disunity and ridiculous comments:
President Trump and Mark Levin both spoke out this morning about the unhinged drama queen Beto O’Rourke.
O’Rourke has been spewing hate for days against President Trump. He’s taking full advantage of the El Paso shooting to gain votes and even donations to his campaign. He’s doing nothing to help the situation and is only throwing kerosene on a fire by making false claims about President Trump.
A video came out yesterday that tops all of the previous videos of O’Rourke because he’s totally unhinged and angry:
O’Rourke appears to be manic and uses foul language in this video.
"He's not tolerating racism, he's promoting racism."

President Trump tweeted out telling O’Rourke to zip it and O’Rourke wasted no time in responding:
22 people in my hometown are dead after an act of terror inspired by your racism. El Paso will not be quiet and neither will I. https://t.co/dakFPKj0vJ

Mark Levin tweeted:
Robert Frances O’Rourke has demonstrated he’s utterly unqualified to be president. His unhinged demagogic outbursts against the president after the slaughter in El Paso have been the most contemptible and over the top of all the other contemptible and over the top unhinged demagogic outbursts. He’s the Joe Scarborough of politics.
…and over the top of all the other contemptible and over the top unhinged demagogic outbursts. He’s the Joe Scarborough of politics.

Thank goodness for Mark Levin and his wisdom.
MSNBC spills the beans when they say this is a good chance for Beto O’Rourke to “gain some momentum”…SICK!
