Last week the president said he didn't see white nationalism as a rising threat around the world. Now, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has accused Trump of signalling to white supremacists that he is willing to ignore their violence.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused President Donald Trump of signaling to white supremacists that he would “look the other way” as they commit acts of violence.
Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, tweeted that Trump’s comments were a “deliberate” message to white supremacists. Last Friday, Brenton Tarrant, 28, is alleged to have entered two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, and shot dead 50 people, injuring dozens more, in a white supremacist terror attack against Muslims.
Tarrant’s manifesto described immigration in white-majority countries as an invasion, language that echoes Trump’s own comments about the undocumented migrants entering America across the southern border. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups, said the U.S. saw a near 50 percent rise in white nationalist groups between 2017 and 2018 alone.
