Beto O’Rourke will be holding a rally tonight at the same time Trump’s rally is happening. Once again, le me point out that El Paso’s crime rate was declining before they built a barrier there. Trump is lying again.
Pres Trump tells visiting sheriffs there's a big line of people outside his event in El Paso waiting to get in, and that rival Beto O'Rourke has a line too but it's a "tiny little line."

CNN's @betsy_klein spoke with a source about Trump's rally in El Paso tonight. When she asked about Trump's repeated usage of widely-debunked stats about violent crime in El Paso, the source sarcastically responded, "LOL."

The outdoor counter rally has no real limitations and the forecast is clear and temps in the 50s. https://t.co/peJEdk2UOh

El Paso’s GOP Mayor Dee Margo just told us President was “wrong” when he claimed El Paso one of America’s most dangerous cities before border barrier. CNN fact-checked this after SOTU. Data shows crime fell long before construction, flat after installation. pic.twitter.com/DPAJBkAWol
