One of the suspects in a pair of deadly New Zealand mosque shootings wrote a manifesto that he supported President Trump “as a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose,” according to The Washington Post.
The suspected shooter reportedly wrote in a 74-page manifesto that he somewhat supported Trump: “As a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose? Sure. As a policy maker and leader? Dear god no.”
Trump harshly condemned the Friday attack in which 49 people were killed.
“My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the Mosques,” he tweeted Friday morning. “49 innocent people have so senselessly died, with so many more seriously injured. The U.S. stands by New Zealand for anything we can do. God bless all!”
