Barack Obama released a statement denouncing the mass shootings that took place over the weekend in El Paso and Dayton, but he also condemned President Trump’s rhetoric which many say is responsible for inciting the violence.
“We should soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred and normalizes racist sentiments; leaders who demonize those who don’t look like us, or suggest that other people, including immigrants, threaten our way of life, or refer to other people as sub-human, or imply that America belongs to just one certain type of people,” Obama said in the statement.
