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.

Let's all be really clear on this:

The shooting in El Paso was a terrorist attack targeting Latinx people. It was spurred by the same white nationalist ideology that is promoted by the President of the United States and mainstreamed by Fox News.

Trump’s ‘go back to your country’ is a classic hate crime trope
