Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke didn't mince words Sunday when asked about President Trump's recent visit to his community of El Paso, Texas.
Trump traveled to El Paso last week after a gunman killed 22 people at a Walmart the previous weekend. Authorities said the shooter told them that he was targeting Mexicans, and a"manifesto" linked to him decried the"Hispanic invasion of Texas." In his CNN interview O'Rourke noted that Trump had also repeatedly warned of migrant"invasions" and falsely described El Paso as a hub of violent crime.
