Fox's Chris Wallace presses WH Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney on Trump's reasons for not giving public speech decrying white nationalism, Mulvaney says president 'not a white nationalist'
Following the recent horrific shootings at mosques in New Zealand, President Donald Trump has been criticized for appearing to downplay the rise of white nationalism abroad and domestically. Appearing on Fox News Sunday this morning, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney could not answer the question of why the president has yet to give a national speech decrying white supremacists and anti-Muslim bigotry.
"People hate the word 'invasion,' but that's what it is," said Trump during the veto signing."It's an invasion of drugs and criminals." "[T]o say that there is some type of connection between being against illegal immigration — which is what the veto was about, illegal immigration, and for legal immigration — and the ruthless livestreaming of murder of 15 people, the two things have nothing to do with each other."
"You've seen the president stand up for individual liberties, religious the liberties.
"All I'm saying is the president speaks out about a lot of things that he's not responsible for and that he doesn't feel that there's any link," noted Wallace, using terrorism as an example. "Why not make a speech and make it clear that there is no place in America for this kind of hatred?"
