latino populations, people are very fearful. i think having someone like joe biden come out and voice those fears to the country and leave the politics out for a day or two is very helpful and i think at this moment the type of inspiration the country needs. i take your point about leaving politics out of it but this is laden with politics, and the kind of politics that strike fear in the heart of donald h. trump, which is probably why he s tweeting about it from aboard air force one between two stops to grieving cities. i think the reason this strikes fear in the heart of donald trump is because this was all about the size of your, whatever, hand. it takes a little bit of something to go up there on a dli day like today on this fraught news cycle and lay the blame at president trump s feet. and go to a place you described as rapists and murders, asking for network time, going into the
gave a great speech today. when he s running against donald trump, he s in a happy place. he s in a less happy place if he has to fight with democrats. i will say is this donald trump the problem as joe biden believes, if we can get rid of donald trump, we will go back to a better america, or will the problem be a deeper part of the country? let me go where my colleague jacob so jac jacob soboroff. are you there now? yes, he is on his way here right now. but you declined. you re boycotting his business. remind us why and have you changed your mind now that you re here and see this big crowd? no, we are surrounded by so much love. i would much rather be with my fellow el pasoens in this
into the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh, warning of caravans. you had the mosque in victoria, texas, burned to the ground on the day trump signed his executive order seeking to ban muslim travel to the united states. there are very real consequences to his words, to his tweets, to this. you saw him in may say how are we going to stop these people? and someone yells out shoot them. the crowd roars with approval and he laughs. says that s okay with me. he s not the source of racism in this country, that has been long before this country, but he s fanning flames and making violence like this more possible and real until we change course. you ve been very clear you believe the president is a racist. is the president a white supremacist? he is. he has made that very clear.
response but he went and was part of rebuilding the city. i have just never seen anything like this. and obviously donald trump won t be back after today unless it s to come announce some crackdown. jason jumped in, let me go back and then back to matt. all of you guys are mentioning something that hit me, it s not just george bush, but beyond politics, i am not a fan of rudy giuliani, never have been. but after 9/11 he was america s mayor. rudy giuliani recognized we were all so traumatized, right, george bush recognized we were all so traumatized that this was something that affected all of us. i will tell you this, i have talked to friends in d.c. who said i m nervous walking into walmart now, i m nervous walking into target. i m going to a conference in miami this week, we re talking about increased security. we are all el paso right now. we re all dayton. what a president is supposed to do, we have all seen that viral video of a car backfiring in times square and people
attacking on twitter, and being critical of others for playing politics with these tragedies, he s doing exactly that, which he s done time and time again. what we re expecting in el paso is also follow a familiar pattern as he visits cities like this. we saw in dayton where he went to the hospital, visited with a few victims, gave thanks to first responders but stays away from the shooting scene and protests. we anticipate the same thing in el paso. we don t anticipate him going to walmart but going to talk to some of the first responders and victims and families. and steering clear of protests, donald trump has never had an easy time seeing protesters line the streets from the motorcade. and the white house in the last couple of months has gone to extraordinary lengths to keep those images from him. i remember last year in parkland when he was there after that shooting he went nowhere near the protests and paid a quiet
