President Donald Trump has criticized two Ohio Democrats who accompanied him during his visit at a Dayton hospital to meet with first responders and victims of the shooting massacre, saying that the pair was “misrepresenting what took place inside of the hospital.”

Earlier on Aug. 7, Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and other White House officials spent time at Miami Valley Hospital to meet with survivors of the mass shooting that left nine dead and dozens wounded. Joining them were Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley (D). The two Democratic officials recounted the course of events that took place in the hospital, which was closed to the press, during a news conference following the visit.
