Hi Arizona1, I don't see how anyone could possible describe what he did as anything other than an act of racist hate.

LOL Maybe you should tell that to the "LEADERS" in your party. Especially those running for prez of the US!

These Republicans Aren't Sure What Motivated A White Guy To Kill 9 Black Churchgoers, But It Wasn't Racism

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), "What kind of person goes into church and shoots nine people? There’s a sickness in our country, there’s something terribly wrong, but it isn’t going to be fixed by your government. It’s people straying away, it’s people not understanding where salvation comes from."

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), told CNN that he saw the killings as an isolated act by a deranged individual.

Jeb Bush – R "It was a horrific act and I don't know what the background of it is, but it was an act of hatred

Rick Santorum – R, also running for the White House, said hatred spurred the killings, and went on to suggest the motive may have been hatred of religion.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R), "Let's be honest, there's evil in the world. What you're seeing today, what we saw last night, that was evil.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) "It's an awful tragedy anytime that somebody would walk in and participate in a prayer service for an hour and then get up and shoot the people you have been praying with? That's obviously a pretty depraved person.

Rick Perry – R, another likely 2016 candidate, on Friday told Newsmax that the shooting was a "crime of hate" – he also referred to it as an "accident," for some reason -- but instead of discussing the racial motives, he suggested not enough people were talking about Roof's previous drug arrest.

Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) told CNN that he didn't "have a clue" about Roof's potential connections to white supremacists or racist groups. Instead, he pointed to the supernatural. It is ... clearly the work of the devil."

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) released a statement late Wednesday, saying, "we'll never understand what motivates" people to commit such crimes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/18/republicans-charleston-shooting_n_7616378.html
