Rep. Castro Naming Names in Bid to Hang El Paso Shooting on the Right

That's really the message that Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, was sending to any potential donors of President Donald Trump's campaign - or to any Republicans, for that matter - when he tweeted the names and occupations of 44 San Antonians who contributed the maximum allowed to the Trump campaign.

In the wake of the El Paso shooting that left 22 innocents dead, Castro named on Twitter the businesses of two donors and lamented that "Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as 'invaders.'".

If you disagree with Castro and company, all the work you've put into building a business can be wiped out, your employees left jobless, because they don't like what you think.

It's not clear whether Castro understands that he's a hater who sloppily tosses out epithets in his zeal to blame the nation's ills on others.

On Morning Joe, Castro defended his bully tactics by arguing that the cost of donating to Trump was seen "In El Paso over the weekend, that people died. The manifesto that that guy wrote could have been written by the people that write Trump's speeches."

Stumping in Iowa, Julián Castro told reporters that his brother did nothing wrong; all he did was repeat the public record on donors who had "Maxed out" on Trump.

Joaquin Castro told MSNBC, "I don't want anybody harassed or targeted." He also said he's not pushing for boycotts of the San Antonio businesses he mentioned.
