El Paso Rep. Escobar: Trump Is "Not Welcome Here"

Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) said Monday on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' that President Trump is "not welcome" to come to the town while they are in mourning. <blockquote>MIKE BARNICLE, MSNBC: Congresswoman Escobar, you have aptly and accurately described the president's participation in what happened this weekend. His ongoing participation during his presidency in what built up and led to this weekend. I would like to get your reaction to a tweet that he just issued. This is Donald J. Trump, president of the United States, two minutes ago with this tweet: "The Media has a big responsibility to life and safety in our Country. Fake News has contributed greatly to the anger and rage that has built up over many years. News coverage has got to start being fair, balanced and unbiased, or these terrible problems will only get worse!" That's from the president of the United States. What's your reaction to that? REP. VERONICA ESCOBAR (D-TX-16, EL PASO): It is shocking to me that he is so utterly self-aware. And this is why from my perspective he is not welcome here. He should not come here while we are in mourning. </blockquote>
