The mayor of the grieving city of El Paso told President Donald Trump in a private meeting that hes presenting misinformation about crime in his city, and pushed back when the president used a derogatory term to suggest he wasnt a real Republican.

The mayor said he was trying to debunk Trumps false claim that El Paso had one of the highest violent crime rates in the U.S. until a barrier fence the bulk of which was completed in 2009 was built there.

He said, Youre a RINO [Republican in name only], and I said, No, sir. I am not a RINO, Mayor Dee Margo told FRONTLINE. I said I simply corrected the misinformation you were given by [the Texas] attorney general, and thats all I did.

In the FRONTLINE interview, Smith reminded Margo that the president had said he was full of crap about the impact of the barrier. The mayor replied, I would hope he wouldnt say that now, given our conversation.

I always think its funny because Trump is obviously the RINO in almost every scenario.

Or at least he was. I dunno what's going on in my party anymore.

Been around at least since Paul Ryan pretended he did anything.

RINO is an easy and convenient way for Trump supporters do dismiss the criticisms from people in their own party.

Rino is not a new term.

Been in use since the 90s

But the term for them before that (in the 80s) was "Gypsy Moth Republican"

And before that it was (funnily enough) "Me-Too Republican"
