John Legend has slammed US president Donald Trump, saying he contributed to the Christchurch terror attack.
"The killings in New Zealand are so horrific and heartbreaking. This white supremacist terrorist movement is so destructive here and abroad. We need to unite against it," the singer posted on Twitter.

"Thisevil ideology has attacked mosques, synagogues, Sikh temples, black churches and more in the past few years. So many people killed while gathering to peacefully pray."

Legend said that he believes that, while Trump was not a direct cause of what happened, his rhetoric has fuelled the hate.
He called on the US President to condemn the attack.
"The President of the US didn't cause all of this. It's been around well before his tenure. But his rhetoric has certainly fueled and inspired these killers' sick minds. He needs to condemn this evil ideology and take real steps to fight it."
