President Trump’s statements did not stop Democrats from faulting him for this weekend’s tragedies.
In a tweet of his own, Biden stated that Trump employs the White House in order to promote racism and demonize illegal immigrants. The former vice president then concluded his tweet by stating that Trump’s departure from the White House is imperative to Americans “speaking with one voice against hatred.”
See for yourself:
Let's be very clear. You use the office of the presidency to encourage and embolden white supremacy. You use words like "infestation" and "invasion" to talk about human beings. We won't truly speak with one voice against hatred until your voice is no longer in the White House. https://t.co/CW3wxxTm2E

Pushback Against Blaming the President and More
Americans who lean right-of-center have pushed back against those who are blaming President Trump for the horrors in Ohio and Texas. Many on the right also maintain that such statements are politically motivated in anti-Trump ideology and counterproductive to finding real solutions.
In the wake of this past weekend, new calls for gun control have emerged. Conservatives also take issue with this, maintaining that criminals will not follow gun control legislation. Moreover, the right-wing has stated that guns are not the root of this problem.
