New White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre condemned the Buffalo, New York, shooting that left 10 people dead as a racially motivated hate crime during Monday's press briefing.
Shooting suspect Payton Gendron left a 180-page manifesto containing racist and anti-immigrant theories that police have cited as a possible motivation for the attack."We don't need anything else to state a clear moral truth, which is that a racially motivated hate crime is abhorrent to the very fabric of this nation," Jean-Pierre said."Hate must not have a safe harbor. This is something that the president says very often, especially in these horrific incidents.
Jean-Pierre did not name names but said the Biden administration will call out hate crimes whenever they occur. She said the White House is working to implement a governmentwide national strategy to counter domestic terrorism, which Biden directed his national security team to implement on his first full day in office. She called domestic terrorism the most urgent terrorism threat the United States faces today.
