Biden: 'White supremacy is wrong, but it's not a mental illness'
By Zack Budryk - 08/05/19 09:01 PM EDT

Former Vice President Joe Biden pushed back Monday evening on President Trump’s characterization of mental illness as the cause of an El Paso, Texas mass shooting over the weekend.

“Hatred is sick, but it's not a mental illness,” Biden said in a Monday interview on CNN. "White supremacy is wrong. But it's not mental illness."


The suspect in the shooting, which killed at least 22 people on Saturday, has been tied to a racist, anti-immigrant manifesto that was posted online just before the attack began and speaks of a Hispanic “invasion” of the U.S.

Although President Trump condemned white supremacy in remarks Monday morning, they came after he tweeted that Congress should tie any gun control measures to immigration reform. Biden criticized Trump for equating the two issues, telling CNN’s Anderson Cooper “They're not immigrants doing these things. They're American citizens doing these things.”
