The U.S. ambassador to New Zealand said he attached no importance to the accused perpetrator of a mass shooting at two mosques Friday citing Trump as a symbol of white identity
The U.S. ambassador to New Zealand, Scott Brown, said Sunday he attached no importance to the accused perpetrator of a mass shooting at two mosques Friday citing President Donald Trump as a symbol of white identity.
"I don't give ... any credibility whatsoever to the ramblings of somebody who is rotten to the core and, clearly, is an extremist of the worst kind, who could walk into two mosques and, without any care whatsoever, kill people," Brown told CNN's "State of the Union." "I don't give any credibility to it.""I'm not going to give him the time of day.
The accused shooter in the attack that killed 50 people in Christchurch, 28-year-old Australian Brenton Tarrant, praised Trump as a symbol of white identity in a lengthy, rambling manifesto.How European ideas motivated Christchurch killerBut the same day, Trump said he doesn't see white nationalism as a rising worldwide threat, calling it "a small group of people that have very, very serious problems, I guess.
Pressed by anchor Jake Tapper about whether white nationalism is indeed on the rise, Brown, a former Republican senator from Massachusetts, said, "I haven't seen it here" in New Zealand. "I have been here for two — almost two years. I haven't seen it here," Brown said. "That's why it's a little bit numbing. I am trying to come up with words."
