2020 Democratic candidates assail Pres. Trump, denouncing rhetoric they say promotes white nationalism and spurs a culture of violence:
The Democratic 2020 candidates assailed President Donald Trump and top Republicans in Congress on Monday, renewing calls for legislative action to address mass shootings and delivering a fresh round of blistering criticism of his racist and divisive rhetoric they say promotes white nationalism and spurs a culture of violence.
Six of the 12 deadliest shootings in the U.S. have taken place in the past five years' the shootings at the Las Vegas music festival, Pulse nightclub, Sutherland Springs church, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the San Bernardino regional center, and now the Walmart in El Paso, all have occurred since 2015.
On Monday, President Trump addressed the shootings, and despite condemning white supremacy with some of his toughest language yet, he did not mention background check legislation, after signaling earlier on Monday that he was open to it if coupled with immigration reform. At least six 2020 Democrats have demanded that McConnell call for the Senate to return to Washington and reconvene to take action on gun violence, including Ryan, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
