We Need to Call it Out!

During the midterms when Trump was whipping up racist hatred of Latinx people and ranting like a lunatic about an 'INVASION', he told a crowd in Houston:

Today marks 7 years since an armed white nationalist killed 6 at a Sikh Temple in WI. Two days ago, a white nationalist killed 22 in El Paso. Hours later, a gunman killed 9 in Dayton. We are under attack by white nationalist terrorists, abetted by weak gun laws and the @NRA.
