- El Paso crowd breaks into chant of “Send him back” as @realDonaldTrump prepares to land in the city.
- El Paso police officers just defused the situation by taking a knee with protesters.
00:00 - This is so patently untrue that it is either a lie or a willful rejection of the pain and suffering of the 8 victims at University Medical Center who refused to meet with him. Here’s my @washingtonpost story.Got to see, by accident, wacko comedian Bill Maher’s show - So many lies. He said patients in El Paso hospital didn’t want to meet with me. Wrong! Had really great meetings with numerous patients. Said I was on vacation. Wrong! Long planned fix up of W.H., stay here rather than..washingtonpost.comSome El Paso shooting victims wouldn’t meet Trump, medical center spokesman saysTrump’s visit to El Paso was unwelcome for many elected officials and other residents, who believe Trump’s rhetoric about immigrants and the border has emboldened anti-immigrant groups.
- The latest: El Paso Border Patrol Sector, which had custody of both children who died, has ordered immediate medical assessments of all 700 children in its custody. Those with illness/injury to be sent to hospitals.The child who died in Alamogordo had been apprehended in El Paso and taken there because of overcrowding. The child was held in a cell at a highway checkpoint, a CBP source told me. My story for @washingtonpost. washingtonpost.com/national/healt…
- Felipe, the boy who died on Christmas Eve, was in CBP custody 6 days. He had influenza B, which has a 1-4 day incubation period. You do the math....children in question were very sick before they were given over to Border Patrol. The father of the young girl said it was not their fault, he hadn’t given her water in days. Border Patrol needs the Wall and it will all end. They are working so hard & getting so little credit!
- It’s not clear what “close the Southern Border” means, but more than 5 million jobs in this country depend on trade over that border. So “give me what I want or I’ll wreck the economy” isn’t the greatest look.We will be forced to close the Southern Border entirely if the Obstructionist Democrats do not give us the money to finish the Wall & also change the ridiculous immigration laws that our Country is saddled with. Hard to believe there was a Congress & President who would approve!
- It took me almost 10 years to gain 8,000 Twitter followers. It took 18 hours after a mention from @BetoORourke to get to 26,000. Crazy.
- None of the El Paso shooting victims still hospitalized at University Medical Center in El Paso would meet with President Trump on Wednesday, hospital officials said. My story for @WashingtonPost. wapo.st/2yQN7Qx?tid=ss…
- NEW: A Texas Democratic official tells @elpasomatters the party believes it will win Texas if El Paso County turnout hits 60%. That would require about 70,000 Election Day voters; 11,000 El Pasoans had cast ballots by 10 a.m.
- This is irresponsible journalism. There is not a “record number of migrants” coming into the US. We’re at a small fraction of record migration levels. Yet this claim by a Secretary of State goes unchallenged by @politico.Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the U.S. is quickly approaching “a moment of crisis” because of the “record number of migrants” spilling into the country politi.co/2yNLeUt
- Replying to @BobMooreNewsAfter the hospitalized patients refused to meet with Trump, UMC officials scrambled to find discharged patients to come back to the hospital. Most also said no; 2 came back, including the 2-month-old baby he and @FLOTUS took the picture with.
- The child who died in Alamogordo had been apprehended in El Paso and taken there because of overcrowding. The child was held in a cell at a highway checkpoint, a CBP source told me. My story for @washingtonpost.
- Trump seems a little obsessed with Beto, says he only got 200 maybe 300 people at his rally. It's a community organized rally that @BetoORourke is speaking at, and the crowd is in the multiple thousands from what I'm hearing.
