President Donald Trump visited El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday in the wake of a mass shooting that left 22 dead.
“We had an amazing day,” the president said after visiting with law enforcement and victims of the shooting at a hospital. “We were there a lot longer than we were anticipated to be. We met with also the doctors, nurses, the medical staff. They have done an incredible job.”
Trump’s visit to El Paso was marred with controversy given that the suspected shooter posted a racist manifesto online before carrying out the massacre. It echoed some of Trump’s own rhetoric and characterized Hispanic immigration to the US as an “invasion.”
Earlier Wednesday, Trump visited a hospital in Dayton, Ohio, the site of a second mass shooting to happen over the weekend.
He was widely criticized for attacking Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley after leaving the city, and he continued his attacks against them in El Paso.
