He also rejected Trump's claim of being a nationalist because he was too pro-Israel and has Jewish next of kin.
It's interesting how at the two mass shootings last October, in Vegas and Texas, the dead were referred to as Americans.
When a synagogue is shot, the victims are Jews, not Americans, and the coverage of their deaths far outscales anything devoted to reporting on non-Jews who died in greater numbers. It weakens their often-reported statements that they're the same as everyone else and have no particular positions of influence in the national media.
In Vegas - victims referred to as concert-goers. Texas - Sutherland First Baptist Church, the victims were referred to as 'people'. Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Texas shooting the victims were referred to as 'student and teachers'. Some media may have called the victims Americans or some other broad description.
Who the perpetrator was targeting would be the most accurate way to define the victims.
