I’m betting this was not immigrant related, and a wall would not have had any impact.
Interesting that Two Scoops didn’t mention the agent’s name in his tweet. I guess the WH staff didn’t have time to prepare a chart for him.
One more death used by this sick man as a crude political weapon for a nonsensical policy with no purpose other than to please his idiot base. Too busy rushing for his phone to remember the name, which in a strange coincidence is Hispanic. SMH
Maybe the agent is Hispanic.
Quick google search, yep his name was Rogelio Martinez,
Was he killed with a gun? If so we should seize this one opportunity where it is apparently OK to immediately politicize someone’s death and get some much-needed gun control legislation passed!
It’s too early to talk about “The Wall.” It would be disrespectful to those who were killed and injured. But, thoughts and prayers.
ETA: I notice so-called president didn’t even tweet “thoughts and prayers” - just “build the wall.” I guess he was conflicted since the Border Patrol Agent killed is named Martinez.
but still no presidential call for action from las vegas shooting in which 58 people died.
They had a piece on NPR the other day about the CDC responding to Ebola,Zika and other health issues where 10’s of people have died , springing into action with millions spent.
A health crisis with 68 dead and 500 wounded " crickets"
If it wasn’t so sad and pathetic it might be funny
IIRC the CDC is severely constrained in investigating gun violence by some legislation text, some senator (more or less anonymously, but I think I heard the name) insert in some funding bills…
Some part of the history
Cuz his tweet was mostly about “See How Smart and Right I am! Build the Wall!” opportunism, rather than about a federal agent/officer losing his life in the course of doing his job.
Way to wait for the facts to come out. I’m sure the families appreciate it. Monster.
How apropos What would a Dick Do?
The man’s name sounds too foreign to the dotard, although the Martinez name was one of the first thirty families to come to the New World some 500 years ago. That’s the problem with newcomers like the Donster monster, they fail to assimilate to the existing community.
I send my condolences to the family, friends and coworkers of Officer Martinez for their great loss. I also apologize for a P*resident who is unable to offer any honor or appreciation in his never ending quest to stroke his own ego.
I’m sorry, Donald, but a man is dead, and it’s just too soon to politicize this tragedy. Maybe we can start talking about it once enough time passes, but right now, it would be disrespectful to everyone who’s ever fought in uniform to make this political so quickly after a uniformed public servant has died.
But it is too soon to talk about a wall.
Right. This guy was probably pissed about playings kneeling for the US anthem, standing for the Mexican. It’s obvious.
The person everyone is calling an f-ing moron is still pushing a border wall? I figured after he couldn’t get his promised Mexican funding, that project would be tossed in the trumpster. Maybe we could build walls at churches, schools, country music concerts and nightclubs to stop our own citizens from slaughtering innocent people trying to just go about their day in peace? The NRA could pay for those walls.
Yeah if they had some proof of an illegal doing it, they be promoting it loud and clear.
And who will pay for it? Certainly the Mexicans won’t
