Terrorist Who Killed 49 in Mosques in New Zealand Blames American Candace Owens for Radicalizing Him.

Gunman Brenton Tarrant, who murdered 49 people inside 2 mosques in New Zealand on Thursday, claims American conservative activist Candace Owens radicalized him via her conservative viewpoints on social media.

Tarrant live-streamed his terrorist attack by walking into the Al Door Mosque in Christchurch with a camera attached to the top of his helmet.

Over the next 17 minutes, Tarrant recorded himself gunning down nearly 100 people, leaving 49 dead and 48 injured.

Social media giants Facebook, Twitter and Instagram scrambled to delete copies of the video which are still being shared on those networks.

Before going on the murderous rampage, Tarrant, 28, posted a 74-page manifesto on Twitter.com.

In it, the New South Wales, Australia native claimed Owens influenced him and pushed him "further and further into the belief of violence over meekness."

Rather than condemn the violence, Owens made an already tragic situation even worse by tweeting "LOL!" Followed by a laughing emoji.

Owens was shredded by thousands of followers on Twitter. Many pointed out her inappropriate use of a laughing face emoji in response to such a serious topic.

"Laughter is not the response one would expect after these murders," one follower tweeted to her.

Owens shot back: "No. But a bunch of racist white liberals flooding my mentions is almost exactly what one would expect. You guys will never de-platform me."
