30% : Trump was not the only Republican to use the attack to stoke division and fear about undocumented immigration, a central tenet of his election campaign.
18% : Donald Trump used the deadly New Year's Day attack in New Orleans to bolster his fearmongering about "criminals" crossing into the U.S. from abroad and did not correct that assertion after the suspect was identified as a U.S. citizen from Texas.
