All the hate talk spewed out by Democrat politicians as the bereaved in El Paso and Dayton prepare to bury their dead couldn’t possibly tell a bigger story about how political egos take precedence over even the most traumatic human tragedies.
The ‘Me-First’ attitudes of vainglorious Democrat presidential hopefuls former Congressman ‘Beto’ O’Rourke, Senators Liz Warren, Bernie Sanders et al block comfort and condolences for the survivors of the shooting massacres in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, which combined took some 31 lives, leaving dozens of others injured— even putting paying respect to the dead, behind their overblown egos.“Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown - a Democrat who said he wouldn't meet with Trump over 'racist rhetoric' but apparently changed his mind - was also there to greet him.”Neither politician could pass up the opportunity of a guaranteed photo-op. Why is it that in the wake of two back-to-back mass shootings leaving 31 innocents dead and dozens injured that Democrats Joe Biden,, O’Rourke, Warren, Sanders and other election-bound Dems get away with making these heartbreaking human tragedies all about THEM? All are putting their obsessive hatred of President Donald Trump not just ahead—but well ahead— of any comfort and condolences due the grief stricken and get-well wishes of hospitalized survivors. Don’t these vultures masquerading as electable politicians understand that their hate-spewing words and photo op pictures are showing a watching world exactly who and what they really are? How many of them hypocritically tweeted out: “Our thoughts and prayers are with you” messages to the same good people of Dayton and El Paso from whom they would try to deny comfort and condolences from the president—or anyone else? What kind of prayers come from politicians, who down to the last one, unabashedly support live-birth abortion?

“The Republican president and first lady Melania Trump flew to El Paso late Wednesday after visiting the Dayton, Ohio, hospital where many of the victims of Sunday’s attack in that city were treated. For most of the day, the president was kept out of view of the reporters traveling with him, but the White House said the couple met with hospital staff and first responders and spent time with wounded survivors and their families. (AP) “Trump told them he was “with them,” said press secretary Stephanie Grisham. “Everybody received him very warmly. Everybody was very, very excited to see him.” Trump said the same about his reception in the few moments he spoke with the media at a 911 call center in El Paso.
'The two of them are playing up what little conversation they had, saying they made comments or demands and that’s just not true,' Grisham said in an email. 'The President allowed them to be part of the entire visit, which was very gracious of him. Their little press conference was clearly premeditated and not in the best interest of anyone but themselves.’Beto O’Rourke, who as an El Paso congressman for six years and calls it El Paso “my hometown”, insists that President Trump’s “rhetoric” played a role in the El Paso massacre. Those are the words of sympathy O’Rourke musters up for the very people who were once his own constituents. The words of sympathy to the good people of El Paso and Dayton, from Biden, Senators Warren and Sanders reek of self-centred, get-ahead politics. Their egos steamroll over victims and their families to get themselves in front of the media.
