'I think it's a small group of people that have very, very serious problems, I guess,' Trump told reporters.
The gunman in the New Zealand attack on two mosques livestreamed video of the deadly mass shooting and left behind a lengthy manifesto where he explained his motivation for attacking Muslim immigrants, repeatedly referring to them as"invaders" of Europe.
Earlier Friday, Muslim leaders in the US called on Trump to"clearly condemn" the New Zealand attack and asked the White House to strongly push back against growing anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant sentiments in the US and around the world. The president's comments from the Oval Office were not the first time he has downplayed white nationalism.
"I think there is blame on both sides," the president said during a press conference when asked about the white nationalist attack."You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides."
