Trump's hate speech leaves world at risk
Anti-racists warn defence of ‘vigilante’ could boost global far right
President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally in New Hampshire
THE US President’s “terrifying” apparent endorsement of far-right killings will embolden racists worldwide and must be confronted, anti-racists warned today (Tues).
Donald Trump suggested that the 17-year-old suspected of fatally shooting two Black Lives Matter protesters and injuring a third in Wisconsin last week acted in self-defence.
Talking to reporters over the phone on Monday Mr Trump said that Kyle Rittenhouse, a self-styled vigilante illegally carrying an assault rifle, had been “violently attacked” by protesters.
