Trump’s View of White Nationalism Sparks Political Debate

Democrats criticize the president for saying views of white nationalism were only held by a ‘small group of people’ with ‘serious problems.’

White House officials and Democrats clashed Sunday over President Trump’s response to the New Zealand mosque massacre days after the president downplayed the role played by white nationalism, saying that a “small group of people” with “serious problems” hold such beliefs.

The gunman in the massacre had called Mr. Trump a “symbol of renewed white identity” in writings before the attack.
