Trump boasts about crowd size in video of his visit to an El Paso hospital
Reporters were not allowed to follow President Donald Trump on Wednesday as he toured an El Paso hospital where victims of Saturday’s mass shooting were treated. Prior to his visit, he had given a speech urging national unity in the face of the back-to-back shootings that claimed 31 lives in Texas and Ohio.
The president used some of his time at the hospital to boast about the size of the crowd he attracted at a rally he held in the city in February and to attack a Democratic opponent, 2020 presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke, who is from El Paso. “That was some crowd. And we had twice the number outside,” Trump recalled. “And then you had this crazy Beto. Beto had, like, 400 people in a parking lot. They said his crowd was wonderful.”
On Thursday, O’Rourke responded to the president’s attack by saying the city “is focused on healing.”
