Dayton mayor given security detail after spat with Donald Trump sparked deluge of hate messages | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77359769 United States 08/19/2019 09:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The mayor of Dayton, Ohio - where nine people were murdered this month in a mass shooting - was given a round-the-clock security detail following her war of words with Donald Trump. Ms Whaley, President Trump and Senator Sherrod Brown visited shooting victims, survivors and first responders at Miami Valley Hospital on August 7, three days after the attack. Shortly afterward, Whaley and Brown held a press conference where they urged the president to support and sign legislation requiring background checks on gun purchases and other reforms. But later that day, Mr Trump wrote on Twitter that Whaley and Brown “misrepresented” what took place inside the hospital - despite Brown and Whaley saying very little about Mr Trump’s time with patients and others. "Their news conference after I left for El Paso was a fraud. It bore no resemblance to what took place with those incredible people that I was so lucky to meet and spend time with.” She responded by calling him a bully and a coward. <50% [link to www.independent.co.uk (secure)] |
