Mick Mulvaney, the acting chief of staff, said Sunday that President Donald Trump 'is not a white supremacist' and attempts to tie him to the alleged New Zealand mosque shooter are 'absurd.'

A top White House official said Sunday that President Donald Trump"is not a white supremacist" and attempts to tie him to the alleged New Zealand mosque shooter are"absurd."

"This was a disturbed individual, an evil person, and to try and tie him to an American politician from either party probably ignores some of the deeper, difficulties that this sort of activity exposes," Mulvaney said. "Were/are you a supporter of Donald Trump?" was one of the questions he posed to himself in the document. His answer:"As a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose? Sure. As a policy maker and leader? Dear God no."Mulvaney said Trump is a defender of religious minorities worldwide and that his actions speak louder than his words.

Mulvaney also addressed a threat by North Korea to reconsider its halt to nuclear and ballistic missile tests, saying such a move would be a"truly disappointing turn of events." The threat followed the collapse of nuclear disarmament talks last month between Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, disagreed, saying white nationalism is on the rise"and the president should call it out, but sadly he's not doing that."

To late already linked 😂😂😂

Why?

Um, the shooter said he was linked to Trump

Well the looney leftist blame POTUS Trump for hurricanes as if they are a sudden new phenomenon on earth. Sooooo....

Of course it is... but not to the looney left

Except for the fact that the shooter directly mentioned Trump in his manifesto...but that’s probably just coincidence.

He's right

It’s ABSURD to even think such nonsense!!!!!!

‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ seems to be a real phenomenon.

Especially if you read the manifesto

The absurdity of Truth.

Maybe Mulvaney should have been paying attention to the fact that while the rest World was condemning the shooting realDonaldTrump was condemning the removal of an Islamophobe from Fox News! Mulvaney wouldn't look so clueless after his claim then!

No it’s not absurd trump and ppl alike are the fuel for this crazy machines and trump is in the top of the world order and he says stupid shit that ppl like the terrorist will take as a approve for their actions

MickMulvaneyOMB knows full well that he works 4 a white Supremacist. NZ shooter mentions Trump’s as a “..symbol of renewed white identity & common purpose.” So don’t bullshit us Mick. Quite a few of the recent shooters mention Trump this way, like the one that sent bombs 2 Dems

Except the shooter did....

.ananavarro CuomoPrimeTime sam_vinograd Embarrassing fact contradicting MickMulvaneyOMB is, the New Zealand mosque shooter linked himself to Trump in a published manifesto. GOP can try to squirm out, but the shooter himself identified Trump as the motivation for this crime.

Isn’t everything Trumps fault

It's absurd that Flint still doesn't have clean faucet water either

Absurd is our MSM .

Absurd is the word for the last 2 plus years and 8,000 plus lies . Mr - most available- punk . Forget about any respect coming your direction for the rest of your pathetic life . Your kids will change their name .

Well, the MosqueAttack shooter certainly thinks Trump is a kindred soul. .......Words have consequences, Mr Trump.

It’s absurd NOT to!

It’s not absurd Mick given the fact that the terrorist cited Trump as one of his inspirations in his psychotic manifesto.

What is Trump trying to coverup this time?

The shooter did it for us!

Trump is sending out his goons for the morning news shows to make excuses for him. As usual, he’ll realize he looks bad here and will make a big statement in a day or two. He’s no leader!!!

I thought it was Chelsea Clinton fault. Lol This is why the media is TheEnemyOfThePeople They constantly try to link Trump to everything negative they can.

The shooter did. The only things absurd are Trump and his defense

The left blames Trump when their toast is burned....

So all the far Left terrorism is linked to Schumer & Pelosi? Asking for a friend

TRump condones hate and Facebook spreads hate, both guilty.

Because he's not....do some research

Exactly!! The guy didn’t even LIKE Trump! And according to his manifesto - he was more of a communist!

Yeah never mind that the mosque shooter said he admired Trump. What did he admire him for? His hair?

Globalists under liberals are to blame for forcing every town into cultureless landscapes Globalism has made it impossible to maintain a sense of community under massive levels of population churn

The terrorist paid by trump

True, because Trump isn't the leader of the hate group just their highest ranking spokeperson.

The absurdity today is the pig pretending to be president.

The shooter linked himself to Trump!

You mean the shooter who directly mentioned Trump in his Nazi manifesto?

Who cares what Mulvaney sez?

I don't.
