Some El Paso shooting victims wouldn't meet Trump, medical center spokesman says

Source: Washington Post

EL PASO — None of the eight victims of the El Paso mass shooting still being treated at University Medical Center agreed to meet with President Trump when he visited on Wednesday, the hospital’s spokesman said.

“This is a very sensitive time in their lives. Some of them said they didn’t want to meet with the president, some of them didn’t want any visitors,” UMC spokesman Ryan Mielke said.

Two victims who had been discharged from UMC and their families returned to the hospital to meet with Trump, Mielke said.

The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

But spitting in his face might have made it worth my while.

If he had a problem with that, I'd claim 'mental deficiency'...

The same strain that afflicts the mass-murderers he inspires.
