Sanders visits Islamic center following New Zealand mosque shooting

(snip)

The Democratic presidential candidate joined imams, rabbis and pastors at the Islamic Center of Southern California for the event, his campaign said in a release.

“In this difficult moment, not only in American history where we see a rise in hate crimes, and not only in a world where we see a growing tendency toward authoritarianism, where demagogues are picking on minority communities all over this world, now is the time … for us to stand up to hatred of all kinds," Sanders said during the event.

"To show the world that this nation in fact will be a leader in bringing our people together regardless of their religion, and to create an economy that works for all of us, an environment that works for all of us, and a world in which love will conquer hate,” he added.

Sanders's campaign touted that the Vermont senator's visit on Saturday made him the highest-ranking American official and first presidential candidate to visit a mosque in the wake of the shooting last week.
