Trump: 'Fake News' Is Trying to Blame Me for New Zealand Massacre

Source: The Daily Beast



President Trump lashed out on Monday against the “fake news media” for allegedly trying to blame him for a white supremacist attack Friday that killed at least 50 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. “The Fake News Media is working overtime to blame me for the horrible attack in New Zealand,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “They will have to work very hard to prove that one. So Ridiculous!” Tarrant explained his thoughts about Trump in his racist, hate-filled manifesto released just after the attack, asking himself, “Were/are you a supporter of Donald Trump?” “As a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose? Sure. As a policy maker and leader? Dear god no,” he wrote.

This is nothing but more of trump's excuses. He had bannon go around the world speaking to white nationalist and hate groups to get them to back him. This wasn't just bannon either, others have done the same thing. Reporters need to ask him why he's lying about it now with denials, and excuses . Hold him accountable for being a White Supremacist media, and repeat it often because that's exactly what he is. The Republican Party is now a White Nationalist , pro fascist , pro putin, anti Democracy , anti American , and ahate group movement.

He deserves some blame by broadcasting his biased self-interested political slant constantly for years now including tirades against immigrants, the attempted Muslim ban and insults to people of color.
