Booker On El Paso Shooting: 'This Is A Uniquely American Problem' | MSNBC

    1. McConnell? Why don’t you blame Trump like all the other useful idiots? Or how about the NRA? This dude must’ve been an NRA member and a white supremist, lol. Your ignorance is showing……

    2. Moscow Mitch, Leningrad Lindsey, and Trump have this blood on their hands. They are all complicit in radicalizing white supremacists to commit acts of terror.

  1. America’s President incites violence and hatred , really what do you expect.
    positive thoughts and prayers to end the fear and hatred. call out those who belittle and blame others for their own gain. looking the other way, prolongs the pain and suffering.

    1. @C Hansen are you threatening me? Cause that won’t work. I have no fear of death, in fact I will welcome with open arms it when it comes. So if you are trying get to threaten or intimidate me, I recommend you don’t waste your time. I battled demons much darker than a threat everyday. You don’t scare me.

    2. I guess the 37 mass shootings under Obama’s 2 terms, was Obama’s fault, with all the race baiting he was doing and all. Thank you Obama. Government run schooling at work, you people are mentally inept.

  2. total death per year linked to lobbysts such gun lobbysts, pharma lobbysts (opiod), military industry lobbysts (more wars), and politicians under the payroll of these lobbysts who keep saying “now is not the time to talk about control”

    1. Cindy Bowen that’s exactly my thought!! But not for a lot of citizens who don’t want their god given rights violated!

    1. And sadly 22 people lost their lives. 22 people who had their future ahead of them. A 4 month old baby was killed and a local soccer team was injured and killed for trying to raise money for their team. My home was affected by the news and I have never seen the streets of El Paso so empty.

    2. Michael that is very callous of you … if your family was involved it would not be enough
      You would never stop asking why
      and a right winger will never get the answer
      because they do not want to know
      Right wingers cannot handle the truth

  3. So the shooter guy planned his attack for a time when the mall would be crowded with MOTHERS AND CHILDREN doing their school shopping.
    How much more of a COWARD could this guy be?!

    1. So the shooting was at a walmart. The mall was evacuated as a precaution. Sooo, get the story straight before you comment.

  4. 4:16 – “Inaction of the good people…”

    Having action that isn’t going to work is worthless. Especially if it only hurts the law-abiding citizens.

    1. @Walt Schmidt ..WHY WERE’NT THEY DEVIL??..BECAUSE YOUR WHITE & YOU SAY SO?..YOU ARE IN THE 7% GLOBAL MINORITY BOY SO YOUR OPINION DOES’NT MATTER DOES IT??… #SITDOWN

    1. @Fred Rogers …WOW!! SO THIS IS THE LEVEL WHITE HEATHENS ARE GOING TO TAKE IT TO..??? #UNIMPRESSED DEVIL

    2. We need to ban Hate speech period from speaking in public to the internet.. make . Just like America had War against drugs. We need War against hate groups

  5. Blessing EL Paso , We are sending our PRAYERS. Love and UNITY
    Stay STRONG HOPE and Healing.Amen❤🙏🙌🙌

  6. It’s a uniquely white male problem. Oh, wait. White men never to be stigmatized the way others would be, no matter how they behave.
    My bad.

    1. @Brave Bull There was no country in north and south american before it was colonized. It’s just a fact. Natives did not have complex laws, currency or anything to suggest that they believe in a sovereign nation. NEWSFLASH ALL COUNTRIES WHERE COLONIZED BY SOMEONE AT A EARLIER DATE.YES EVEN CHINA, INDIA, THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST, EAST ASIA.

    1. Trump congratulated a UFC fighter 14 minutes after expressing deep grief for El Paso.
      Same technique, only worse.

    1. Ben Mercer And as well the corporate Democrats
      vote progressive or you are one of them
      Let me be specific non-corporate that does not include Cory Booker and as far as I know only Bernie Sanders non-corporate or bust

    1. I’m all for refugees as long as they check in first….. I’m not cool with terrorism walking in from the south boarder if you think no terrorist are here you need to wake up more will keep coming tell we care about it…. now your saying this guy is a Trump supporter… ya got that right I say give every law obeying citizens a sidearm with free training courses…. we have lost the way of the west…. there be much less massacres plus gun crimes…. your only committing suicide if everyone has one….

  7. The president endorses this behavior he’ll say something like it was good people on both sides. MAGA REALLY

    1. He will deny that there is a White Nationalist problem despite the proof & evidence that is exactly what it is, his persistently hateful words, taunts & Tweets continue to inspire and embolden these unstable members of society who are allowed to purchase without serious checks these weapons not meant for hunting but for accomplishing exactly what has happened. Way too much hate & division going on in our country and it starts from the Top despite his denials and deflections

    1. Your about to say your name as well so since you didn’t i will say it for you. mrzack888.  Its gun free zones that get hit, if you did your homework you would see that is the first thing all of this has in common with the other.

    2. The Communist News Network (CNN), MSLSD, and the Left-Wing DNC are to blame for the 37 mass shootings under Obama’s 2 terms. Makes sense. Government run schooling at work, you people are mentally inept.

    3. @tjslooking Its the people with the mentality like yours are the one’s doing these shootings. Wake up man. Stop this division and love one another.
