When asked by anchors whether the White House would be commenting on the Minnesota bombing that took place in the early hours on Saturday, Gorka said it would but only after an investigation into who was behind the attack.

"There's a great rule, all initial reports are false, you have to check them, you have to find out who the perpetrators are," said Gorka.

"We've had a series of crimes committed, alleged hate crimes by right-wing individuals, in the last six months, which turned out to be actually propagated by the left."

"People fake hate crimes in the last six months with some regularity. I think it's wise to find out what exactly is going on before you make statements," he added.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) noted a 91 percent rise in anti-Muslim hate crime since the start of the year.

Trump has not spoken about the attack on the place of worship but has posted 26 tweets on topics as varied as "fake news", the "failing" New York Times, a senator he described as a "con artist", the ongoing tensions with North Korea, and new job figures.
