In the aftermath of the terror attack on two New Zealand mosques,President Trump doesn't see a rise in white nationalism in the world. Pressed by reporters at the White House, Trump said he sees the issue as a "small group of people with serious problems.” While he allowed at the time that he had not seen the manifesto the admitted New Zealand shooter left behind, he also hasn’t updated his stance since.
In the missive, the suspect meticulously outlined the racially motivated reasons for the shootings in Christchurch. As such, the missive is full of white supremacist rantings about immigration and white identity. And it should be noted that President Trump condemned the attack as “horrific” and also said it “was a horrible, disgraceful act.” The deadly shooting spree killed 50 people at last check with dozens more injured.
People have criticized Trump for not condemning white nationalism strongly enough. As for suggestions that rhetoric used by the President has any connection to what happened? His supporters say it's "absurd." Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney tells “Fox News Sunday”that the President is not a white supremacist and that people should take the deadly attack for what it is: "a terrible evil tragic act."
