mclumber1 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Just read the manifesto. I don't see how Trump's GOP can deflect this. This guy's rhetoric is right in line with (current, under Trump) talking points about immigration. I'm glad they captured him alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comet Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 The kid is from 2 miles from where I live in the Dallas area. Just crazy. That manifesto makes sense to me and was my hunch when I first heard the news break. El Paso is incredibly safe and has been resistant to most types of violence like this. Even the right wingers in El Paso are so tightly integrated to the predominantly hispanic culture there that they have a pretty different view of immigration compared to other right wingers in the country.

Just read it myself and Trump will use the guy’s words to defend himself. He said it wasn’t about Trump and that the fake news would blame this on him. It’s his fucking words against himself and I agree it will be hard to deflect it towards anything but his words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comet Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 From what my brother described it sounded like it would be at least 20-30 from the outset. Hopefully it stays at 19, but doubtful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclumber1 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 The Dems need to do everything they can to tie this guy's ideology and rhetoric to Trump. There are dozens, if not hundreds of public statements he has made about hispanic immigrants that can be used in campaign ads that will hammer home the fact that Trump's MAGA movement is in total sync with these terrorists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
