Buttigieg On Shooting: 'America Under Attack From White Nationalism Terrorism'

2020 Democeat presidential candidate Mayor of South Bend, Indiana Pete Buttigieg claimed a shooting in El Paso, Texas claiming 20 lives and injuring 26 others was motivated by "white nationalism" at the AFSCME 2020 Public Service Forum in Las Vegas.

El Paso law enforcement has not confirmed or mentioned the shooter's motivation. The shooter, 21-year-old Patrick Crusius has been taken into custody by El Paso police.

"America is under attack from homegrown, white nationalist terrorism. We have to talk and act about two things in this country: first of all, we are the only country in the world with more guns than people," Buttigieg said.

"It has not made us safer. We can respect the Second Amendment and not allow it to be a death sentence for thousands of Americans," Buttigieg added.

"Number two, white nationalism is evil,” the Sound Bend mayor continued. It is inspiring people to commit murder and it is being condoned at the highest levels of the American government and it has got to end," Buttigieg continued.
