Defense attorney in El Paso Walmart mass shooting says Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric helped inspire it

by Michael Karlis

The attorney who represented the gunman convicted of killing 23 people five at an El Paso Walmart five years ago now says his client's motives were fueled President Donald Trump's anti-immigration rhetoric, according to nonprofit newsroom El Paso Matters. In August 2019, 21-year-old Patrick Crusius drove from his family home in Allen, Texas, to a Walmart in El Paso with a semi-automatic rifle and opened fire on the mostly Hispanic shoppers, some of whom were there back-to-school shopping. He committed the mass shooting after posting a racist screen online railing against a Hispanic "invasion" of Texas.
