Quebec City Mosque Shooting Suspect Criticized Refugees and Supported President Trump Online

The suspect in the shooting at a Quebec City mosque was known as an internet troll who frequently voiced his support for President Donald Trump online.

Alexandre Bissonnette, 27, who is the suspect in the Islamic Cultural Center of Quebec shooting that left 6 people dead and 19 others injured, was known among the city's activist circles for making Facebook comments in support of extreme right-wing and nationalistic views, the Globe and Mail reported on Monday.

Inspired by French nationalist leader Marine Le Pen, Bissonnette began clashing with others online by attacking refugees and writing of his support for Le Pen and Trump, according to the Globe.

Archives of Bissonnette's now-removed Facebook page show he "liked" Le Pen, Trump, the Israel Defense Forces and Richard Dawkins, among many interests.
