Report: El Paso Shooter Claimed to Be Radicalized Before Trump

Several media outlets are reporting that the gunman who killed 20 people and wounded 26 at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas claimed in a manifesto that his white supremacist views had nothing to do with President Donald Trump.

The Washington Post reported Sunday: “Authorities believe … [the shooter] wrote the document, though they are still gathering evidence.” It also noted that the author “stresses that he has maintained his white supremacist ideology for many years, predating President Trump and his 2016 campaign, which he says did not influence his reasons for carrying out the attack.”

CNN added: “The writer wrote that their opinions on immigration predate President Trump, and the writer appears to have held these beliefs for years.

Portions of the alleged manifesto were published by LatinoRebels.com. In it, the author supported the terrorist in Christchurch, New Zealand, who killed dozens of Muslims earlier this year; rails against the “Hispanic invasion of Texas”; condemns interracial relationships; and calls for a racial partition of the country.

The author predicted that some people will blame Trump for the attack, but says that would be “fake news,” since he held his views before Trump.

He turned 21 recently. Trump started his racist attacks on America in 2010 by claiming Pres. Obama's birth certificate was fake. The shooter was 12 then. Trump may not have caused him to shoot, but his rhetoric about an "invasion" sure have ideas about which humans to target for death.

5:47 you have no idea what you are talking about. When someone commits a crime, they decide in their mind what the circumstances of that crime will be, and Hollywood had created more copycats of how to commit a crime than any other medium. The president has only taken up the cause of the Democrats on immigration since Clinton was in office, yet somehow this is now racist and wrong. A country needs strong borders and illegal immagration drives up taxes, costs of good and services, and drives down wages, and you get subpar work for your money. There was a study done a few years ago about what would happen if all illegal immagrants left, they found that schools would no longer be overcrowded, your wages would increase, traffic and sprawl would decrease, and costs of everything from houses to food would go down. Illegal immagration costs us billions in up front costs and even more in hidden costs like lost wages. That is fact and not racist.

5:47 Obamas birth certificate is fake. There was a story on that here in the blog. Hilary Clinton’s campaign committee started the rumors in the spring of 2008. You need to stop going to Factcheck.org a now leftist website controlled by Bill Ayers & Barack Obama. Only idiots & dumbocrats like you listen to their leftist lies.

It is an invasion. When a group of people enter another country carrying their home flags and not going thru entry points in the U S. That is an invasion.

It was Hillary that started the birth certificate debate but questioning his legitimacy isn’t racist and impossible to be construed that way
