Americans Scoff at Obama’s Plan to Visit Dallas in Wake of Tragedy
President Barack Obama’s decision to cut short his European trip to visit Dallas, where five police officers were killed Thursday night, failed to provide the positive reaction for which the president might have hoped.
“He’ll just continue to divide on racial grounds,” John S. Roberts wrote on Young Conservatives.
Many voices on Twitter agreed that Obama’s visit was too little too late.
@AP we dont want him here

@AP That's rich; the man whose rhetoric helped spawn the terrorists is going to go to Dallas so he can talk about gun control.

.@AP And will require the very law enforcement he helped become targets of #BLM domestic terrorists to protect him… with guns.

Although Obama condemned the deadly Dallas ambush, more than one commentator said Obama is part of the problem, not the solution.
“I don’t believe there’s any sincerity behind the president’s words,” Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said Friday. “Just yesterday he was popping off at the mouth again — exploiting the situations in Louisiana and Minnesota — exploiting it on the basis of race. He has no foundation for that. There’s no data or research that suggests or proves anything he thinks in terms of disparity.”
“The spread of misinformation and constant instigation by prominent leaders, including our president, have contributed to the modern day hostility we are witnessing between the police and those they serve. As a result, today we are seeing one of the noblest professions condemned by those who could benefit the most,” said Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas.
