Donald Trump tweeted a link to Breitbart, a far-right website that peddles xenophobia and extremist ideologies, as a terrorist conducted a brutal massacre in New Zealand after releasing a manifesto that celebrated the US president as “a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose.”
The tragedy, in which two mosques were seemingly the target of a terrorist attack spearheaded by an Australian 28-year-old white male, occurred on Friday in Christchurch, New Zealand — the same day Breitbart featured an interview with Mr Trump on its homepage.
The president responded to the mass shootings the following morning on Twitter in a statement that failed to describe the event as an act of terror, as New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had called it the night before. He also deleted his tweet to the Breitbart post the day after the attack.
“My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the Mosques,” Mr Trump wrote. “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.”
He added, “God bless all!”
The Australian man behind the attacks appeared to be a right-wing extremist who described anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant motives in an 87-page manifesto that named the president and right-wing influencer Candace Owens.

Since we are the demons of the world, we damn well better make sure the world fears us. The alternative is horrific.
What race is “muslim”?
Just curious.
So Breitbart is a “far right webside”, eh?
Gasp, as bad as our MSM is (and it’s sewer level), the Brits are worse. Heck, that article is almost low enough to be Guardian level.
Oh, forgot to mention a latest truism: use of the word “phobic” indicates a total lack of the meaning of the word along with an open admission that the writer has absolutely no real argument.
The key words “Appears to be.” A more careful reading of the shooter’s rantings show he is most likely not “right wing”. He labels himself an “enviro-facists” yet that is ignored. As is his admiration for China’s government.
Telling the truth about Islam is not allowed by the Ministry of Propaganda.
not only that, it “peddles xenophobia and extremist ideologies” to boot.
The author of this article should follow the link to Breitbart...he might even find out the truth about this “right wing extremist” being a socialist, environmentalist and conservative hater...
...it would appear this guy in NZ has more in common with the author than he does Trump.
Now Breitbart is an “ islamophobic website”?
The owners need to go Covington Catholic on these propagandists
You’d think the UK publication would recognize the person shooter says he most identifies with: Sir Oswald Mosely
A crazed deranged leftist eco-fascist shoots up a mosque. And the usual idiots go apoplectic.
This article is pretty good for propaganda. Somehow Trump and Bretibart are the bad guys here. Instead of one of their own.
If we were 1/10th as dangerous to them as they claim we are they'd be dying by the millions.
If we were 1/10 as dangerous to them as they *want* to be to us, same thing.
LOL Breitbart is now anti Muslim LOL seriously ANYTHING that is considered to the right is considered evil..meanwhile a REAL racist organization, ANTIFA is planning on protesting outside Tucker Carlson’s house this weekend, the same ANTIFA that broke into his home while his wife hid in a closet
that white men will drag them from their homes and shoot them in the street.
= = =
Reminds me of no-knock SWAT tactics. Except for the dragging part.
You have good spider senses.
This smells like Las Vegas.
I try not to hate people, but Communists come close.
“The Independent,” Chris Riotta is a extreme left wing, ideological web site that pedals conspiracy theories and pedophilia.
Fixed.
