President Trump called the transgender school shooter at Annunciation Catholic Church “demonic” while delivering remarks to the White House Religious Liberty Commission on Monday, and said his Administration is working to find the cause of attacks against Americans of Faith.
The deranged leftist transgender shooter, Robin Westman, who was born Robert Westman, opened fire, shooting through the windows of the church at Annunciation Catholic School as students attended mass during the first week of the school year. Nearly 20 were injured in the attack, and two children were murdered.
He glorified past shooters and hated God and religious conservatives, according to his manifesto, which was uploaded in YouTube videos prior to the shooting.
The FBI is now investigating the incident as domestic terrorism and a hate crime against Catholics.
It is speculated by many that hormone treatments and his admitted regret over transitioning are among the causes that led the mentally ill individual to commit such a heinous act.
Trump appeared to imply that this would be investigated, telling White House faith leaders, “we must get answers about the causes of these repeated attacks, and we’re working very, very hard on that.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also confirmed following the shooting that the shooter’s gender confusion and mental illness will be investigated by the FBI.
Trump added, “The Trump administration will have no tolerance for terrorism or political violence, and that includes hate crimes against Christians, Jews, or anybody else. We’re not going to allow it.”
WATCH:
Trump: In recent years, we’ve seen far too many violent attacks perpetrated against Americans of faith, beautiful Americans of faith, including in our schools and places of worship. And you know about it more than I do. Two weeks ago in Minneapolis, a demonic killer shot 21 people and murdered the two precious children at a Catholic school. Can you believe that? Hard to believe. And time goes by, and people say, “Oh, I sort of remember it,” but I remember it. I’ll always remember it. What a horrible thing. Too many, happens too much.
Our hearts are shattered for the families of those beautiful children. And I’ve made clear that Attorney General Pam Bondi is working really hard that we must get answers about the causes of these repeated attacks, and we’re working very, very hard on that. The Trump administration will have no tolerance for terrorism or political violence, and that includes hate crimes against Christians, Jews or anybody else. We’re not going to allow it.
