As Beto O'Rourke left a vigil for the victims of the mass shooting in El Paso on Sunday, his anger boiled over when a reporter asked if there was anything President Donald Trump could say to make things better.

In one moment, the former El Paso congressman had captured the left's furor over how Trump's racist actions are discussed -- and at times explained away -- on the national stage. His comment immediately went viral.
