President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday called the deadly terror attack in New Orleans "pure evil."

"Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department," Trump wrote on TRUTH Social. "The Trump Administration will fully support the City of New Orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil!"

He also made a statement about criminals coming into the U.S., but it's unclear how that might be related to the yet-to-be-named motorist who plowed into a crowd in New Orleans' French Quarter at about 3:15 a.m. Wednesday, killing at least 10 and injuring at least another 35.
