White House sustains butthurt and slams Dems for making shootings about Trump

The White House hit back Tuesday at Democratic presidential candidates who have faulted President Trump’s rhetoric and even branded him a racist in the wake of the weekend's back-to-back mass shootings, accusing them of grandstanding while doing little to solve the problem.

Counselor Kellyanne Conway, in an interview on "Fox & Friends," said Trump is “trying to bring the country together and heal a nation.” And she slammed Democrats for fundraising off the shootings that left at least 31 people dead.

“There is a huge difference ... between running your mouth and running for president, and being the president and trying to bring together a nation,” Conway said on “Fox & Friends.” “The president did not respond in kind. They politicized this over the weekend. They all blamed him and I want to name and shame them now. ... They want to be president? He is the president. And he is trying to bring the country together and have ... bipartisan, bicameral steps.”

The comments amount to the toughest response yet from a White House that has been bludgeoned by Democratic candidates and lawmakers after the El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, shootings. Some urged the president not to visit El Paso (which he plans to do), while others ripped his Monday statement on the tragedy as weak and even helped pressure The New York Times to revise a front-page headline that did not sufficiently challenge Trump's call for unity.

We're just hitting back. You expect us to just sit there and take it when your boss is running us down at every opportunity, and his slavering fanboiz are gunning us down across the nation? Nobody's gunning down you or your ilk; we're just giving you a rhetorical taste of your own medicine. It appears you don't much like it. Boo hoo.

No longer is anyone pulling punches about who and what Trump is.

I'm sure Baltimore and the other cities that he groused about are really hurt that anybody doesn't see how he's working so hard to"bring us together."

What a horse's ass she is!
