Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said it would be wrong to blame the mass
shootings at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand that left at lest
49 worshipers dead on Friday. The Air National Guardsman said evil
and hatred for people have always existed.
"I have a question. Does God need to change people's language? And I
ask you that, because this killer apparently in a screed, some
people call it a manifesto, said he's a supporter of President Trump
as a symbol of white identity. Why would anyone see the president as
a symbol of white identity," CNN's John Breman asked.
"I think God needs to change people's hearts and I bet he does. He
needs to change their language. You cannot put this on President
Trump," Kinzinger said.
"I'm not putting this on President Trump. There is a one man who
pulled the trigger here," Breman clarified. The person giving a sign
of allegiance to President Trump is the killer here. He called him a
symbol of white identity. The language he uses in this manifesto is
all about invaders. It is all about invaders, which is similar to
the killer at the synagogue in Pittsburgh and language President
Trump used in a campaign ad before the midterm election. The word
invader means something to people around the world. Why?"
"For the president to say I'm concerned with illegal immigration -
to say that and go to a guy willing to kill 50 people he may say,
President Trump is my idol. That doesn't put it on president Trump.
I don't know what a sick man that would kill 49 people innocently
was thinking. I don't have any idea what was in his mind. I know
this. It cannot be connected. We cannot say what is it President
Trump is doing that is somehow triggering these people? This is an
evil man that made a decision to murder 49 people. And that is on
him. Frankly, the evil in his heart."
Kinzinger did say he does not agree with Trump's language on the
issue of immigration, saying it's best for him to specifically not
say "invasion" or "horde."
"I'm not defending all of the president's language on this stuff.
What I am saying though if you look at the Holocaust where six
million Jews were killed and Hitler basically brought a bunch of
people into evil thinking to do what they did, that was way before
President Trump," Kinzinger said. "This hate for people whether it's
religion or race has been since the beginning of humanity. This
disgusting animal is evil. If President Trump's language triggered
him, that wasn't President Trump triggering. This is a disgusting
person that frankly deserves, I think, to die. I'm not sure what his
future is going to be in New Zealand."
