NY Times contributor Wajahat Ali says Trump is tough when talking about Muslim terrorists, but 'impotent' when it comes to white nationalists.
President Donald Trump is “impotent” when it comes to condemning terrorist attacks by white nationalists, a New York Times contributing op-ed writer said following the worst mass shooting in New Zealand’s history.
“The question is why are the KKK, the alt-right, and white supremacists who chant — wait for it — the 'Jews will not replace us', throwback to the replacement theory, that’s what they chanted in Charlottesville, and they killed Heather Heyer, an anti-racist protester. He says they’re very fine people. Both sides are to blame,” Ali continued on Trump.
"My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the Mosques," Trump tweeted."49 innocent people have so senselessly died, with so many more seriously injured. The U.S. stands by New Zealand for anything we can do. God bless all!"
