White House condemns 'racially motivated' attack on Indians

White House condemns 'racially motivated' attack on IndiansAfter criticism that Donald Trump had not spoken about the attack -- which happened a week ago -- the White House said president did indeed condemn the attack. "As more facts come to light and it begins to look like this was an act of racially motivated hatred, I want to reiterate the president condemns these or any other racially or religiously motivated attacks in the strongest terms" said White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders. The comments came as grieving family and friends in Hyderabad mourned 32-year-old engineer Srinivas Kuchibhotla, who was shot dead by a US Navy veteran.
