John Legend says Trump 'needs to apologize for demonizing Muslims' after New Zealand massacre

FOX NEWS - John Legend said that President Trump needs to speak out against hateful ideology, and "needs to apologize for demonizing Muslims" after 50 people were killed at mosque shootings in New Zealand on Friday.

The singer, in an interview published by NowThis on Sunday, said that, following shootings that occurred in Christchurch, in which dozens were killed and injured, the president owes an apology.

"He needs to apologize for demonizing Muslims," Legend said. "He needs to apologize for demonizing brown people who have tried to come here and have a better life. He characterizes their desire to come here and work and feed their family as an invasion."

Following the massacre, Trump said the attacks were a "horrible, horrible thing," but later said that illegal immigrants seeking to enter the U.S. are part of an "invasion."
