Mayor of Dayton, OH Just Said What We're All Thinking About Donald Trump After He Slammed Her on Twitter After His Visit

Mayor of Dayton, OH Just Said What We're All Thinking About Donald Trump After He Slammed Her on Twitter After His Visit
CNN

Sad but true.

After two mass shootings in 13 hours this past weekend, resulting in the deaths of 31 people, there's been talk of how a president's job is to unite the country; to comfort his or her constituents in the face of senseless carnage.

President Donald Trump visited victims in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas, where the shootings occurred. He had no sooner departed from Dayton for El Paso before tweeting out insults against (D), Fox News anchor Shep Smith, Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke, former Vice President Joe Biden, Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, and the mayor of Dayton, Nan Whaley.


His insults to Dayton officials Brown and Whaley particularly stuck out, considering the tragedy that hit their community.

Whaley and Brown held a press conference earlier in the day in which Whaley said that hers and Trump's interaction was very brief, and criticized Congress for not moving on gun violence.

While Whaley was reserved in her criticism of Donald Trump at the press conference, she didn't hesitate to call the president out in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper.

When asked by Cooper for her reaction to the tweets and later remarks to reporters calling her and Brown "very dishonest people," Whaley responded:

“I’ve watched President Trump’s Twitter feed for a while. He’s a bully and a coward, and it’s fine that he wants to bully me and Sen. Brown. We’re OK. We can take it. But the citizens of Dayton deserve action.”

Watch below:

People expressed their support for Whaley.

And they were quick to agree with her assessment of the president.

That day, Trump went on to insult Congressman Joaquin Castro (D-TX), his brother and presidential candidate Julian Castro, author Tim O'Brien, news anchor Brian Williams, CNN, MSNBC, and Democrats.

So much for comforting the country.

Pope Leo's Brother Sparks Outrage Over Vile Posts About Nancy Pelosi And Parents Of Trans Kids

The brother of Robert Prevost, a Chicago-born Roman Catholic Augustine cleric who last week became the newly-elected Pope Leo XIV, is facing heated criticism after some of his older Facebook posts resurfaced and revealed that he'd shared a video calling Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi a "drunk c**nt" as well as a transphobic meme about transgender children.

For instance, in an April 23 post, Prevost claimed that former President Obama desired “the total destruction of our way of life” and aimed to turn the U.S. into a dictatorship, adding that it would be “a racist one on top of it.” He had previously pushed a conspiracy theory alleging that “OBAMA WAS A CIA ASSET, PUT IN PLACE TO DESTROY THE USA.”

Stockholm Floored After Trump Administration Sends Letter Demanding They End DEI Programs

The letter marked the latest step in President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
