Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is attempting to blame President Donald Trump after a reported leftist shot at an ICE detention facility in Dallas, Texas, leaving multiple detainees dead or injured.<\/p>\n
During an interview on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cMorning Joe,\u201d Schumer immediately attacked Trump in the wake of another politically motivated shooting, claiming that Trump\u2019s rhetoric has contributed to such attacks.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has to come from the top, and like on so many other things, Donald Trump is deficient in this, totally deficient,\u201d Schumer claimed.<\/p>\n
Schumer noted Trump\u2019s response to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, saying he spent the day after the shooting placing blame on the left \u201cinstead of just bringing Americans together to mourn.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s busy pointing fingers before he even had evidence,\u201d Schumer said. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Schumer said he did not yet know everything that happened at the ICE office in Dallas, but condemned the violence as \u201cjust terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody, right, left, center, I don\u2019t care what your politics are, has to speak out strongly against it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Schumer conceded that he did not know what weapon was used to shoot at the Dallas ICE detention facility, but immediately demanded \u201cbetter laws on guns.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got something done a few years ago, but it\u2019s just rampant, and we have to do more,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m the author of the Brady Law, the assault weapons ban. It\u2019s become almost every day one of these things happen, and we can\u2019t just sit there and do nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are many more things we can do about gun trafficking, about who sells the guns, how they get the guns,\u201d Schumer said. \u201cThere are things we can do without impinging on the rights of law-abiding citizens to own guns.\u201d<\/p>\n
