This tragic shooting, of two National Guard members in D.C., didn’t have to happen.

But when you threaten thousands of refugees and say that you want to send them back to Afghanistan, one of them might snap. And when you shut down the Refugee program so that they lose any hope of bringing their family members who are still in Afghanistan, one of them might snap. And when you stop issuing visas to anyone from their country, one of them might snap. And when you terrorize American cities and states with armed soldiers so that it looks more like the war-torn Afghanistan they fled than like America, one of them might snap. And when you shut down the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, stop funding violence prevention programs, stop enforcing our gun laws, and allow guns to spread like wildfire, one of them might snap and find a gun.

That makes you responsible for this tragedy. It would not have happened but for your misguided actions and failures, as our President. Our President who doesn’t even care.
