Spot on.

The United States continues to reel from the two most recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, killing a combined 29 people.

As condolences and calls for common sense gun reform began to pour out, former Congressman and Democratic presidential candidate from Texas, Beto O'Rourke, got candid with reporters when asked how President Donald Trump can begin repairing the damage caused by unchecked carnage.


O'Rourke, who represented El Paso in Congress, didn't mince words.

Watch below:

O'Rourke placed the responsibility squarely on Donald Trump:

“What do you think? You know the sh*t he’s been saying. He’s been calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals. I don’t know, like, members of the press, what the f*ck?...He's not tolerating racism, he's promoting racism. He's not tolerating violence, he's inciting racism and violence in this country.”

The El Paso shooter, who killed 20 people after opening fire in a Walmart minutes from the Mexican border, parroted Trump's rhetoric on immigration, using words like "Hispanic invasion" and railing against the replacement of white people in the United States.

O'Rourke is far from the only person connecting the El Paso shooter to Trump's rhetoric.

Many Americans commended O'Rourke for refusing to hide an exasperation similar to their own.

Trump has since called for stronger background checks, but suggested tying them to an anti-immigration bill.

Melania Ripped After Using Event With Freed Israeli Hostages To Promote Her New Documentary

First Lady Melania Trump was criticized after she used an event at the White House with freed Israeli hostages to promote her new documentary Melania, which follows her in the 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration following the 2024 presidential election.

Amazon MGM paid $40 million for the distribution rights and reportedly poured another $35 million into marketing. The film beat box office predictions to earn more than $7 million over the weekend but will need to generate much more box office to break even.

When a person becomes a parent, much more will change in their life than they anticipated.

But that transition can be especially hard when a person feels like they're losing themselves to their role as a mom or dad—and that feeling is made even worse when their partner hyper-fixates on their new role.
