The shooter was motivated by fear of ‘invader’ immigrants, including those in the caravan. You called the caravan a ‘national security’ threat. You exploit fear for personal gain, then offer ‘prayers.’ And you take NRA money.

Republicans have no empathy or conscience, and their words lack sincerity.

Bigotry and extremism are absolutely not our values. So why do you let Trump demonize people of color and paint people on the left as a violent mob? It’s funny, because I keep seeing one of your terrible commercials calling Mitrano an “extreme Ithaca liberal”.

Your party enabled this. You have supported Trump’s bigoted, violent, and extreme rhetoric in lockstep. Shame on you.

I'm praying for you. I'm praying that you find a sense of decency and offer policy instead of prayers.

No. We’ll be working to get the enablers of these crimes out of power. That’s you, btw.

The wounded survivors and their families still face losing their homes and life-savings to the uniquely American terrorism of Medical Bankruptcy. That's on you, Tom.

I appreciate this. Thank you Congressman Reed. But you really need to do more. Donald Trump has spread two lies that appear to have converged that pushed the idea that there are ISIS fighters in the Caravan. There is no evidence for this /1
-
His vile rhetoric towards the Caravan and immigrants coming to the country fuel unnecessary fear. Perhaps even worse is his malicious lie that George Soros is funding the caravan to come here. /2

In conjunction with Trump's denunciation of "globalists" (which is code among anti-Semites for "Jews"), Trump's smear of George Soros feeds one of the longest lasting anti-Semitic tropes. /3https://www.thedailybeast.com/theres-been-a-george-soros-for-every-era-of-antisemitic-panic …

It seems Robert Bowers was motivated by his combined hatred of Jews in general, and George Soros in particular--based on the lie that Soros was funding the Caravan /4https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/alleged-synagogue-shooter-robert-bowers-endorsed-gop-talking-point-that-jewish-groups-funded-migrant-caravan/ …

Trump is at least partially to blame for the poisonous atmosphere that led up to the shooting. As a prominent supporter of Donald Trump, you have a moral obligation to call him out on his divisive and hateful bullshit. /5
-
I'm not saying Trump intended this to happen. I don't think he foresaw this possibility. But words have consequences--especially words coming from the President. You helped put him in power--you have a moral obligation to act as a check and balance on his recklessness. /END

PS Of course, Bowers might not have been radicalized by President Trump. It could have been some other right winger spewing his garbage on FOXhttps://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/10/robert-bowers-suspected-synagogue-shooter-believes-migrant-caravan-is-jewish-conspiracy.html …

Please read this article. Then answer this question. Will you condemn Donald Trump and the right wing conspiracy theorists at Fox and elsewhere who spread lies about "globalist" George Soros and the Caravan? This incitement led to violence. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/caravan-lie-sparked-massacre-american-jews/574213/ … /1pic.twitter.com/7fMeG5W5mH
