More than 30 people were killed in shooting massacres in those two cities earlier this month.
The President boasted on Wednesday that the people he visited in the hospital “love their President,” adding that “doctors were coming out of the operating rooms.”.
That’s not what happened, according to the hospital Trump visited in El Paso.
“At no time did, or would, physicians or staff leave active operating rooms during the presidential visit.
Our priority is always patient care,” Ryan Mielke, a spokesman for the University Medical Center, told a local ABC affiliate on Thursday.
Reporters were not allowed to accompany Trump on his visit to the hospital in El Paso, perhaps because eight victims of the shooting massacre there did not wish to meet with the President.
According to the Post, two victims who were already discharged did come back to the hospital to greet Trump. »
