Kellyanne Conway suggests people read the suspected N.Z. shooter’s manifesto, against expert advice. In the document, the killer calls himself a white nationalist and referred to Trump as 'a symbol of renewed white identity.'
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway urged Fox News viewers to read the entire 74-page manifesto of the mass shooter who killed at least 50 people in New Zealand, claiming it will show that he was not inspired by President Trump.
Trump is mentioned in the manifesto. The shooter wrote he was a supporter of the president as"a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose" but not"as a policy maker and leader . . . Dear god no." — Donald J. Trump March 18, 2019 The manifesto was loaded with internet jargon and deeply online jokes mixed with extremist views on race and immigration, or as the New York Times called it, “a wordy mixture of white nationalist boilerplate, fascist declarations and references to obscure internet jokes.”
The New Zealand shooter’s document cites the writings of Anders Breivik, a Norwegian far-right extremist who killed 77 people in 2011. It was the second instance in as many months of Breivik’s anti-immigrant work being cited. He was also an inspiration for Christopher Hasson, a Coast Guard lieutenant who was arrested last month and accused of plotting killings “on a scale rarely seen in this country.
