President Trump said that white nationalism is espoused by a small group of people who have “very serious problems,” on Friday, March 15.
He made the comments after a mass shooting happened earlier that day in central Christchurch, New Zealand, where a white supremacist allegedly killed 49 people and wounded another 48 at two mosques.
Trump said on March 15 that he didn’t see the manifesto himself.
This is not the first time Trump has condemned white supremacists. In 2017, he condemned “all extremist groups” after white supremacists and other extremist groups involved in protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, left one person dead and scores more injured.
“The president said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry and hatred. Of course that includes white supremacists, KKK, Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups. He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together,” a spokesperson said at the time.
