Trump lied about the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)

Trump said the NYSE opened the day after 9/11. It was closed until 9/17 He just wants to justify hold his hate-filled rallies.

Fact Checker: In an effort to justify holding a campaign rally after 11 people at a synagogue were gunned down in Pittsburgh, President Trump twice referenced an event that did not happen. https://t.co/AF6q88PL02

The attackers are not crazy, they’re terrorists

People have been saying that the alleged perpetrators of the mailed bombs, the Kroger killings and the synagogue killings are crazy or deranged. That lets the haters (like Trump and right wing media) that inspired them off the hook.

These are not crazy people. These are hate crimes. These are domestic terrorists. If the attackers were Muslims, these same people wouldn’t call them crazy. They’d call them terrorists.

Trump has responsibility

I totally agree with this.

Trump ramped up the bigotry to excite his base for the election

I agree with this too:

Trump’s notion that any criticism of him (no matter how provable) is equivalent to his baseless insults, expressions of bigotry and praise for violence is the sort of moral equivalence that conservatives used to deplore. Just so, @jrubinblogger https://t.co/XVhjdmCTHo

Yes. It doesn't matter what's in his heart, if he has one. The point is that he's deliberately conveying his sympathy with anti-Semitic tropes, which generally go hand in hand with racism. That makes Trump and his allies guilty in what's happening to America. https://t.co/mhdv1a7Dfh

Pittsburgh synagogue hate crime

First, my sympathy to the victims and their families and appreciation for the police for their brave work.

Trump’s hate rhetoric strikes again. Of course, he is not directly responsible for the crime but he has created an atmosphere where bigots feel encouraged and supported by the President of the United States.

I’ll never forgive him for his comments after Charlottesville when he said the Nazis included “very fine people” . That’s why we have hate crimes like this.

Anti-Semitic hate crimes and social media posts are up under Trump

Trump’s reaction

Trump’s comments have been pathetic. He has not expressed sympathy for the victims. He blames them for not having guns (to make his NRA donors happy). As others have noted, the police there had guns and they got shot, too.

It's a miserable day in America when our @POTUS says there should have been guns & security inside the Pittsburgh synagogue, and nothing expressing love or loss for his 8 murder victims,
BUT the PM of a foreign country says all the right things about our American tragedy. https://t.co/Kem80IilLf

Let's be clear: Trump is sending the military to guard the border against unarmed desperate migrants (who are still in southern Mexico), but faced with domestic white supremacist terrorists, he suggests that places of worship hire their own armed guards. https://t.co/bs5Muqyxlo

We can do something about guns

It’s not too soon to say I’m horrified those worshipping at a synagogue were targeted and murdered. It’s not too soon to say we’re grateful for the first responders who risked their lives. And it’s not too soon to say that it’s in our power to take action against gun violence.
