The White House has overreached in trying to put distance between President Donald Trump and the suspected New Zealand mosque shooter’s white supremacist manifesto, which mentions the president by name. On “Fox & Friends” Monday morning, Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway invited all Americans to read the entirety of the 74-page manifesto, which is a winding and bigoted piece of propaganda whose stated goal is to indoctrinate its readers and dog-whistle fellow extremists. Conway was apparently trying to prove that the man accused of killing at least 50 people in the name of white nationalism didn’t claim any allegiance to Trump. I think he referred to himself as an eco-naturalist or an eco-fascist,” she said, as Media Matters’ Bobby Lewis first reported. “People should read it in its entirety.”
