He said Jo Cox 'put a target on her back' with stance on 'Muslim refugees'

The leader of a US neo-Nazi group ‘supported’ by Jo Cox’s accused killer last night launched a sickening attack on the murdered MP saying: ‘She put a target on her back.’

In a vile, hate-filled outburst Will Williams said he felt ‘no guilt’ about the killing.

Williams, 69, is the leader of the white-supremacist National Alliance, from which Thomas Mair bought £430 worth of books in 1999 and 2003, including texts on how to build homemade guns and explosives.

Williams said: ‘I hear that she loves the idea of bringing a bunch of Muslim refugees from Syria or wherever.

‘You can see how people would be opposed to that. So she put a target on her back. He [Mair] is the effect.

‘The cause is clear to him and he’s reacting. That’s how I look at it.’

The National Alliance was founded by William Pierce in 1974.

Pierce’s book The Turner Diaries is said to have inspired US terrorist Timothy McVeigh to bomb a federal building in Oklahoma in 1995, killing 168 people.

Pages torn from Pierce’s book were found in McVeigh’s truck.
