So, Trump finally responded about the terrorist attack in New Zealand that killed 49. And Trump said white supremacy is just a very small number of people around the world who have problems, adding that we don't know enough yet about the New Zealand killer and are gathering information, over half a day later . It is now up to Republican members of Congress to disavow Trump's benign dismissal of terrorist attacks by white supremacists - or such tragedies are on them.
Let's be very clear because this is extremely easy: the New Zealand terrorist killed 49 human beings, and he left a 70-page manifesto, one in which he specifically said that he saw Trump a symbol of white identity -- and Trump says "We don't know enough about him yet." Yet (forgetting the direct connection to him, which is a massive amount to forget...) in other attacks not by committed by a white person he's been instantaneous in condemning them as heinous terrorist attacks we must protect ourselves from.
This is not about Trump, we know who he is. This is about the elected members of the Republican Party.
