President Donald Trump exploded at a reporter for quoting from the manifesto of the suspect who opened fire near the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday. In an interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O’Donnell, the 79-year-old was presented with excerpts from Cole Tomas Allen’s manifesto, which the 31-year-old allegedly sent to his family moments before the shooting.

“The so-called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, Mr. President,” O’Donnell said. “He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this quote, ‘Administration officials, they are targets.’” O’Donnell then asked the president about his reaction to Allen’s rationalization that he was “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”

“I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” the president replied. “Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”

“Oh, do you think he was referring to you?” O’Donnell asked, before Trump continued.

“I’m not a pedophile. Excuse me. Excuse me. I’m not a pedophile. You read that c--- from some sick person? I got associated with stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated.
