White House condemns Kansas attack, calls it 'racially motivated'
The comments are the most direct the White House has been on the shooting, which killed Srinivas Kuchibhotla, a 32-year old employee at GPS company Garmin, and left Alok Madasani, 32, and Ian Grillot, 24, in the hospital.
"As more facts come to light and it begins to look like this was an act of racially motivated hatred," said Sarah Sanders, a White House spokeswoman. "I want to reiterate the President condemns these or any other racially or religiously motivated attacks in the strongest terms. They have no place in our country."
The comments come as some have called for a more forceful response from President Donald Trump and his administration.

If one of the "Iranians" had shot the poor "white" victim, this would get us that Muslim ban in a heartbeat!
Meanwhile, calm down. "Nothing to see here."

(9,527 posts)I think we as a society are far too quick to take instant reporting to be gospel truth. I'd much prefer we wait to make such declarations. Granted I think the administration waited hoping it would turn out the other way rather than being a commitment to the truth.
