The White House refused to allow any members of the press to travel inside the hospitals President Donald Trump visited Wednesday in Dayton and El Paso, after mass shootings in those cities last weekend killed 31 people. But a just-released video taken by someone who was able to attend the president’s visit to an El Paso hospital reveals the president’s hypocrisy when he claimed he was going to provide “unity” as he chastised top Ohio Democrats for what he wrongly claimed was politicking during his Dayton visit.
Clearly, the President was not practicing what he preached.
In the video below Trump can be seen inside El Paso’s University Medical Center bragging about his crowd size when he held a rally in that city earlier this year. He can also be seen demeaning Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke, who until recently served as that city’s U.S. Congressman.
“I was here three months ago and we made a speech,” Trump told the hospital’s medical team, as Politico noted. “That place was packed.”

“We had twice the number outside. And then you had this crazy Beto. Beto had 400 people in a parking lot.”
The Texas Tribune, meanwhile, reports “Donald Trump still owes $569,204 for his February rally.”
NCRM could find no proof of Trumps’ claim O’Rourke hosted “400 people in a parking lot.”
