TONE DOWN THE RHETORIC. Guess what, leftists. You cannot have it both ways. You want President Donald Trump to tone down his rhetoric then you guys must do the same thing. First, we had Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) tweet out San Antonio donors because they fuel "a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as 'invaders.'" Then we had MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace stress that Trump talks "about exterminating Latinos" during a conversation with USA Today columnist Raul Reyes. Now Reyes isn't innocent either as he claimed Trump "basically declared open season on Latinos."

The newspaper used the correct headline because that's exactly what Trump said in his speech. However, it went against the leftist narrative's to push gun control even though they demanded Trump condemn white supremacy. The left and Democratic candidates blasted The New York Times, which changed the headline to appease them.
