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."

.@realDonaldTrump claims El Paso, Texas used to be one of the nation's most dangerous cities, but became one of the safest after a border barrier was built. Crime data contradicts Trump's claim. His claim is False. https://t.co/zPylwuWuqE pic.twitter.com/v39Qnn4K05

Expect a very interesting discussion of crowd sizes Monday night. The El Paso County Coliseum, site of the @realDonaldTrump rally, can seat 5,000 to 6,000 depending on configuration. 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
