Time Associates trump with Right Wing Quebec Mosque Terrorist

Here is the link: http://time.com/4654434/alexandre-bissonnette-quebec-mosque-shooting-donald-trump-marie-le-pen/

What I found very interesting was their last couple of paragraphs:

"He was someone who made frequent extreme comments in social media denigrating refugees and feminism," he told the Globe and Mail. "It wasn't outright hate, rather part of this new nationalist conservative identity movement that is more intolerant than hateful."

Archives of Bissonnette's now-removed Facebook page show he "liked" Le Pen, Trump, the Israel Defense Forces and Richard Dawkins, among many interests.


That last line shows exactly where his sympathies lay. No wonder the attack coincided with the Muslim ban.

That is what his friends said. No doubt the alt right emboldened by Trump played a part in whipping him into a frenzy of anti-immigrant and anti-feminism.
