"We grieve with you and the Muslim community," Obama tweeted Friday.

Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama offered their condolences to New Zealand and the Muslim community on Friday after at least 49 people were killed in shooting attacks at two New Zealand mosques.

"Michelle and I send our condolences to the people of New Zealand. We grieve with you and the Muslim community. All of us must stand against hatred in all its forms," Obama tweeted.New Zealand police arrested a 28-year-old man for murder following the racist attack at two mosques in Christchurch during Friday prayers. Two others are in custody in connection to the attack, and 48 people are also being treated for injuries, which range from minor to critical.

President Donald Trump tweeted his sympathies early Friday, adding that the U.S. stands with New Zealand. "My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the Mosques," he 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!"

Who’s that guy?

Coming from such a divisive Ex-president. This guy will say anything to try and charm an audience.

Bring Obama back!

I only wish White Nationalist Trump could see it this way.

Last real legitimate president. Still leading cause we are currently leaderless.

You started it up again .Shut up and go away .

'The kingdom of heaven suffer violence and the violent take it by force. 'God commandments; Exodus 20 : 3-6 / Act 7v49.

Start a coup instead

Call to action. Root it from America. 2020

MR PRESIDENT then... now...

A simple statement everyone should make is that we stand against any white supremacy and hate directed at immigrants and non-whites. It is unacceptable.

He has been in a hole since campaigning for losers last year.

Go away

Why Muslims specifically? For now the largest two immigrant religions are Hinduism and Buddhism, and the biggest migrant exporters are China and India with all their cultural differences and disadvantages?! ChristchurchMosqueAttack NZMosqueShooting christchurch

“Courageously “ pointing out the obvious

BarackObama Every time I see him I want to cry over what we had and how half the people, the idiot half, didn't appreciate him while he was here. We went from our Savior to the Antichrist in 1-election and I wish to Jesus Barack would come back as Beto's Secretary of State!

And yet Democrats n news media Express hate towards trump every minute. Continue to look for something to impeach trump. Waters calls on people to harass others based on political views, hate is what Democrats are about

Which includes hating a president so much that you have to illegally try to remove him .

I think most of these mass killings are done more for notoriety more than out of hatred. This time making it a video game like video, live streaming it. How else do you explain the sudden increase and deadliness?

I really really miss this stability & voice of reason. You don't know & appreciate what there was until it's gone.

Oh, do you mean like DeepStateCorruption ?

....now THAT’s a good place to direct spending money, root out and wipe out these white power criminal terroris networks & cells.....forget the wall, we have white terror cells running around the US already!!

Oh shut up Obama! You started this mess!

How about hatred of Donald trump then?

Scary yet, sadly, an accurate prediction by ABC op-ed contributor for ABC: 'The far right, the 'White Replacement' myth and the 'Race War' brewin'

Not looking so good BarackObama 🤔

And we must stand against politicians who propagate hate through policies. There are better nd more humane approachs 2 deal with illegal migration. No one will run away frm a place they feel well n secure. tht should be d start point in the migration discuss

Says the guy who murdered countless innocent men, women and children with drone strikes. Hey Politico, wtf are you guys? Do you even care about reporting the truth?

What a hypocrite. He has spewed hatred too.

barackobama WGAF what u say? We don't need the MSM or President Selfie to think for ourselves; we certainly don't need a lying druggie faux scholar who never published anything at uni except hagiographies about himself.

Thought police & programmed thinking just doesn't appeal to independent-minded Americans, but Dems keep pushing conformity & regimentation.

That means kill innocent ppl in war for freedom.

Yeah, we saw, hiw they stood i front of anti-semitism. Never called RADICAL FASCIST ISLAMIST their act of killing christians in France, England, Belgium, and all other west European countries

This Is What We Need Again! A True Leader! That is honest and has America's Interests and Humanities! Sadly, we have strayed into evil greedy mobster mentality. WAKEUPAMERICA

spare me with Obama's BS.

Says the a hole in Chief who vomited out divisive racial rhetoric everyday

🤣Then stand against the attacks on people who don’t always agree with you.

This Tweet... 49 people seems damn specific don't you think?

He droned a US citizen who was also a Muslim.

I don't even see this as a 'hate' crime, some people are plain old f'd in the head. It's really that simple.

The Democrats stand against hatred in all its forms The GOP is for hatred in all its forms. Divide, Hatred, Greed, the GOP platform

oh please , where did you dig up this muslum man?.

A mass murderer

Blah blah same scripted speech every time.

Wow, he said that? So brave! So smart!

God. I miss him so much.

thinking about the outside only

Yeah, huh. 🤓

Go away bum. Your sorry time is over.

Obama officials failed to focus as fentanyl burned its way across AmericaInvestigation: In 2016, a group of health experts sent a private letter urging the Obama administration to declare fentanyl a 'public health emergency.' Officials considered the request but did not act on it. And now Donald Trump thinks it's coming from Mexico. Because Barry loves the drugs. Remember when he talked about selling them in school? We ‘member. Funny how the Dems don't care that fentanyl is coming across our southern border. Tell us what they did under Obama? Nothing.
