Former President Obama speaks out on the two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio with a rebuke of President Trump. Trump delivered a speech condemning 'racist hate' but avoided any mention of his own rhetoric and says he is open to 'bipartisan solutions' to stem shootings, but does not address gun control.

Obama On Shootings: U.S. Leaders Must Not Normalize Hate | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
We miss you president obama please come back this country needs better leadership.
@Keith Anthony 1st things 1st…Im not gonna tell you what to do but have you paused and think the things you say or comment ?
True leaders have followers and the President was elected not forced his way with violence. If you have deep down thought about it, why is it that the President’s base has growth so much and potentially be the first one to win by a landslide on today’s sick and progressive agenda…?
Ruben Chavez Yes, I do think. Trump supporters either don’t or can’t.
1 – By definition all leaders have followers. That applies whether they are Charles Manson, Hitler or Jesus.
2 – More people like junk food than healthy food, and more like cheap crap on tv than anything that will make their lives better. Saying Trump has a large base is a meaningless comment. He’s dumb, divisive and can’t do the job. People who identify with that like him. Like the shooters, like racists, like you.
Lol please tell me what Obama has done lol
@Keith Anthony You got to the point… Even if we don’t like their views (totally acceptable) they were true leaders that didn’t forced nothing. By your standards people that follow Trump are racists and divisive…But if you flip the coin we can say the same thing about non-supporters or better called Anti-Trumpers who can’t and/or never see anything good he does or has done cause they have already fixed their minds on hating him…bringing divisiveness instead of… you know embracing him 😁👍🏻
@Ruben Chavez fact..
The real PRESIDENT spoke today. #OBAMA WE MISS U
@GOD719 oh no you’ve been watching Fox News again 🤦
Aman I wish he was back in the race to be reelected as our President of the United State .
Trump 2020! Blacks for trump! The GOAT of presidents! 🐐
Obama is the worst in history! So glad trump got rid of some of Obama’s policies!
@FOM FamilyOverMoney hey if you pay attention to the comments and likes on my response I think you’ll see you’re outnumbered with your ideology.. Are the majority wrong or the minority? Grow up and I pray none of these acts happen to your loved ones in the future.✌
Nothing will be done until we elect those who will do something. Do your research and be sure to vote! It can be changed if you vote.
@Leonie Romanes I repeat ! RUPERT MURDOCH OWNS FOX NEWS !!! DISNEY DO NOT OWN FOX F’ING NEWS !! DISNEY DIDN’T BUY FOX F’ING NEWS !
Thats not true.
That’s right do your research and vote trump 2020! Trump 2020! Blacks for trump! The GOAT of presidents! 🐐
@Hannah wells No he doesn’t Fox sold everything to Disney. It was recent.
Trump has ignited the destruction of America. Putin gave him the match.
@Ruben Chavez When was America great? Please provide the year or time frame? I believe if we review history that at each time in history, there were groups of people who were demonized.
@Kitty King Great question you made. History has had crimes, corruption, bad politicians, massacres and all kinds of bad things. Never ever has it been perfect but… It was great when we could have freedom, of speech (not PC), when we could agree to disagree when we protected children from lies or political agendas, freedom of religion (not imposition or death) when we could work and have real job opportunities to raise our families and live comfortable…a simple and pure democracy is when America was greater than any other country
This division started under Obama!
2014 when mike brown was shot in Ferguson mo.
Under democrats rule!
Russia has taught trump well in how to bringing the system Dow !
n.
Traitor to our own country its sad
Robert Symon I dont think Trump needs lessons from anyone. He is a natural-born wrecking ball.
Donald Trump. Stop talking. You don’t get it.
@julia kuberski Trump/MassMurder/MoscowMitch/2020
Make Racism Great Again
Have fun running on that.
Trump 2020! Blacks for trump! The GOAT of presidents! 🐐
Oh we get it cucpake, you want to paint criticizing illegal immigrants for violating immigration laws as “normalizing hate” and “inciting violence” when it’s neither.
CLAP CLAP CLAP (while standing)
This reminds me of how the Nazis came to power.
As a Texan, I find it remarkable, that immediately after the United States earns its first African American president, of two terms, who is a rather astute individual with a calm & collected demeanor; we get our first full-fledged White Trash Dictator-wannbe which has an overt history of lambasting said previous president.
THIS IS FLORIDA
I can tell based on your writing you a Russian bot, your English is appalling.
@THIS IS FLORIDA youre very outspoken. Youre one of 3 loud trolls posting on each comment about things that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. 29 people were gunned down by white nationalists and youre talking about a fetus.
THIS IS FLORIDA surely English is not your mother tongue because your grammatical errors are akin to someone with little or no grasp of the English language. Have another vodka or two
Alisa Johns Why does parents need help from the Federal government to raise their children?
Should the Federal government also provide aid to citizens to help conceive a child?
THIS IS FLORIDA OK, let’s talk about ‘invasion’.
Russian communists, with the support of the GOP invaded the 2016 presidential election.
Foreign and domestic financial institutions have invaded the American economy.
Foreign countries and corporations has invaded American R&D facilities and violated Intellectual Property rights.
Corporations, via Citizens United has invaded American election system and destroyed the idea of one person, one vote.
Granted, this has absolutely nothing to do with unborn babies, illegal immigration, or protecting the life liberty and persist of happiness for citizens from mass shootings, but Trump has put the meme of ‘invasion’ front and center in his campaign and presidency.
Trump delivering that speech is like serving steak in a trash bin 😪
Ignorance is Bliss in the Land of Fake News and all it’s subjects will follow the Pied Piper into the sea and drown in its Ignorance !
The ‘refreshing beer” in advertisements is motor oil and soap suds sprayed with liquid nitrogen.
Trump supporters drink it by the gallon.
Like seeing paint dry.
I don’t much like Beto for various reasons, but that was just beautiful. “What do YOU think?” It was such a STUPID question everyone knows the answer to, and I admire him for the fire of that response.
I agree, THIS IS JUST SICKNING 💯🙇
Yes Beto is right, the press needs to stop asking the question everyone knows the answer to. Of cause trump is racist. The discussion needs to move to what can America do about it.
Beto is angry. He feels the pain to the victims.
People criticize Beto for speaking Spanish for being a “white Irish” “pretending” to go along with Latinos, what people must know is that he also lost his father tragically and he has fell in love with the Latino way of cherishing life and family, no American any skin color has found a Mexican hating them we serve people with love and smiles, we welcome so many to our country. It’s too sad that some people has not have the chance to open their hearts and their mind for understanding that despite the skin color we are all humans. PEACE & LOVE NEEDED.
@Lourdes M Quinn so well said, I couldn’t agree more
There is nothing in Trumps voice that’s inspiring! He looks like a kid giving an oral report in front of the class. You can tell he doesn’t want to be doing it.
@Gord235 amen. Well spoken.
I say he is reading like a fourth grader trying to sound it out.
I agree with your assessment. Body and soul.
@@julia kuberski yeah I’m bad.
Is that why Beto can’t fill a Starbucks and Trump gets thousands? Wake up, homes.
He had an attitude! After Trump started blaming everything except white supremacy for these murders I turned him off.
Trump looks like he can barely choke out the speech he was forced to give…
Murder HeWrote : Why are you so obsessed with being a man-child? 🤔
He looks great for his age
It’s too late for Trump to say anything at all. There is no way for him to take back the damage he has done.
True!…’plus those extra votes ain’t coming from Russia this time.
@Ted Watson how can you wake up a group of people stuck in a romantic past of THEIR his-story!
In past shootings our presidents would immediately address the nation with words of sympathy, concern, and comfort. This time we got nothing until the golf weekend was over and got a speech that was nothing more than a heartless teleprompter reading.
Ain’t that the truth.
It was orchestrated, to send a signal that this is what he wants the base to do. Trump is crazy, and the base will pick up whatever he throws at them
melodk like a puppet on a string.
Every President plays golf
You cant honestly believe that trump thought that these shoots compare to his golf game. No reason to stop no reason to not stick your head in the door of a wedding, nothing important was happening. This is how he thinks of HIS FELLOW AMERICANS.
Thank you PRESIDENT OBAMA we needed that message to the World!! I feel like I can breathe!!
https://youtu.be/mmceh9nIbBY
Glenn Torres IKR!!! It’s good to hear good! It makes me feel hopeful!
Trump 2020! Blacks for trump! The GOAT of presidents! 🐐
Obama was the worst presidents let’s be real 🤣
Waking up this morning I was praying to my Father in heaven and, Just meditate and this story sneaked in my mind, (Huston we have a PROBLEM)
Moscow Mitch has the blood of many children on his hands by blocking all these bipartisan bills
Andethidial bubabibub : Mumbling Moscow Mitch ALREADY belongs in jail for the scam he pulled with his wife. Massacre Mitch will be EASIER for him to live with than Moscow Mitch. The Nazis LOVE HIM for it
101 shootings since he’s been sitting on the bipartisan house bill for universal background checks
So does Pelosi 4,000 American teens from Illegal Immigrants who killed them !
We need to build a Wall of Shame In Washington DC to permanently list the names of Politicians, Cities, and States that contribute to the culture of corruption, racism, profiteering, and ignorance.
The permanent display of these names can become the new dialog.
Trump says, Hate has no place in America. My question is, when is he leaving?
@Lizzie Wood ,If memory serves,Was it not Dem’s that were blocking action on arresting ANTIFA!,At all the violent rallies?.Was it not Dem Mayors,And police chiefs that allowed assaults,fires,looting,ect all in the name of ANTIFA?.
Seems the Dems in america are ok with hate,As long as it is violence against Rep,Or anything perceived as not inclusive.
So your last statement of ,”This is not who we are as America”,Is BS..That is exactly who and what america is.
Could I invite you to perform an auto-proctology maneuver?
@Harvey Wallbanger He’s got 2020 in the bag and so I thank you and your ilk.
@Plen122 Liberals need to go high ….
@etos butch You may want to check out some facts, homie. Rubin and Jordan Peterson on TRUMP IQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxQyroQLr1Q
I have to fast forward whenever rump speaks
He’s too disgusting to me
Like watching a 4th grader giving a report! Pathetic!
You’re not alone on that!!!
Same here!
I disagree with tuning trump out, it’s important to hear this diatribe, and possibly be able to educate his base! Hold a mirror to the hateful and oppressive! That kind of thinking and behavior needs our attention emediatly, we may be able to thwart more tragedies of senseless violence. One grandmother’s call stopped her grandson from killing countless people.we need her brand of courage. Spread the truth, logic, Faith, love, and positive of doing something!
WHEN AMERICA HAD A COMPETENT AND INTELLIGENT LEADER. WE MISS YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA AND FIRST LADY MICHELLE.
Lmfao
Thank you President Obama for speaking out. We miss you and pray you and your family are well. Much love and light to all.
Obama was trash! Ruined our country! Trump is getting us back right to the top of the totem pole!
45* looks like he’s being held at gunpoint at a POW camp forced to read a script.
Yes God. It was so crazy to just looking at him.
It was painful to watch Trump squirm being forced to speak on what he doesn’t believe in. Trumps body language told it all.. no substance and no compassion what so ever.
