White House spokesman Raj Shah says Trump and 29-year-old James Shaw Jr. spoke Monday. Shah had no other details about the conversation.
Shaw and a friend were dining at a Waffle House in Nashville on April 22 when a gunman wearing only a jacket opened fire outside with an AR-15 rifle before storming the restaurant. Four people were killed. Shaw and three others were injured.
Shaw has been hailed as a hero for wrestling the rifle away and throwing it over a counter.
The suspect, 29-year-old Travis Reinking, was apprehended the next day. Reinking faces charges of criminal homicide and attempted criminal homicide.
Oh my Trump the racist? What a suprise
our heilige president should not sink to the level of talking to one of them
It took him three weeks.
Gentlemen, three weeks is three weeks. No reason to get upset when someone points to the calendar.
The real issue is that the Orange Knish didn’t meet the BLACK HERO in person. He’was afraid a photo of them together would upset his trailer park followers and all the alt-frum bigots posting on VIN.
For once, I will have to agree with Paul in Saudia; I know that the so-called Uneducated Archy will be upset, but facts are facts. Our esteemed President should have immediately acknowledged the brave act, which James Shaw performed at the Nashville Waffle House. My only regret is that Shaw did not kill the shooter on the spot, with his own gun. Now, the state of Tennessee will have to support that psycho, for the next 50 years, with free medical and dental care, food, color tv, internet privileges, a weight room, etc. Hey, Archy (any relation to Archy Bunker), why don’t you zip it for once, and learn some basic manners?
To Archy: It is obvious that your Mother never taught you any sense of decency or manners, with your degrading adjectives. Incidentally, the term “meathead” is what your meshpucha (the other Archy), used to call his son-in-law.
