Trump trashes Beto O'Rourke, tells him to 'be quiet' ahead of El Paso visit

Trump to Beto: 'Be quiet'
President Trump is not remaining silent against some of his critics following the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton. Trump fired back at 2020 presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke, who has blamed the president for the tragedies, called him a racist and compared him to Nazis in recent days.

"Beto (phony name to indicate Hispanic heritage) O’Rourke, who is embarrassed by my last visit to the Great State of Texas, where I trounced him, and is now even more embarrassed by polling at 1 percent in the Democrat Primary, should respect the victims & law enforcement - & be quiet!" Trump wrote in a late-night tweet. O'Rourke responded with the following tweet: "22 people in my hometown are dead after an act of terror inspired by your racism. El Paso will not be quiet and neither will I."

Earlier Tuesday, Trump's 2020 re-election campaign blasted Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro, the brother and campaign chairman of 2020 presidential hopeful Julian Castro, for posting a list of prominent Texas Trump donors’ names and employers on Twitter -- accusing him of "targeting" private citizens and demanding he delete it. “How low have Dems sunk?” Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh tweeted. Joaquin Castro stood by his tweet, saying the donors were not "targeted or harassed" and accused Trump campaign officials of trying to "distract" from the "racism that has overtaken the GOP."
