Trump's Dayton visit criticised after shooting

From Morning Report, 7:42 am on 8 August 2019

President Trump has visited the scene of the weekend mass shooting in Dayton Ohio and is now meeting with families and first responders.

His presence in the city was met with resistance by many and reluctance by others - including Dayton's mayor Nan Whaley who publicly criticised the President blaming mental health, the internet and video games for mass shootings rather than guns.

People protesting the President's visit said Mr Trump had helped fuel racist rhetoric and in essence enabled the shootings.
