Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke wrote on Twitter: “This president, who helped create the hatred that made Saturday’s tragedy possible, should not come to El Paso. We do not need more division. We need to heal. He has no place here.”

O’Rourke, at this point a mere nuisance candidate in the presidential race, set a standard for the nation in demonstrating that partisan hackery can transcend any national tragedy. No matter how many are dead, it’s never so many that he cannot stand atop their bodies and hurl down insults at the president he will not be running against in the 2020 general election.
