Ilhan Omar says Trump's Islamophobic remarks inspire attacks like New Zealand massacre
Rep. Ilhan Omar on Saturday said she believes President Donald Trump’s hateful comments toward Muslims has inspired attacks such as the recent mass shooting at two New Zealand mosques that left 50 people dead.
The Minnesota Democrat, whose speech was partially live streamed on Facebook, said the president “makes us want to think that he doesn’t understand” the consequences behind his Islamophobic language, when he is actually fully aware of the magnitude of his words. Following the Christchurch attacks, Trump accused journalists of “working overtime to blame me for the horrible attack in New Zealand.”
Top White House aide Kellyanne Conway also defended the president, telling reporters they should “look at what the president said right away, condemning violence, condemning hate, standing with the people of New Zealand.”
