Donald Trump equated the Nation of Islam with extremist terrorist groups in an interview on Fox News on Monday morning, calling both, “bad people,” and repeating his call for increased “law and order” in response to recent police slayings.

“You look at so many different fronts, you know, radical Islam, and by the way, he seems to be a member of that group also,” Trump said, referring to the man who killed three police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Sunday. Shooter Gavin Eugene Long is allegedly a former member of the black separatist group Nation of Islam.

“Seems to be something going on there. It’s very sad what’s happening,” Trump said.

He did not revise his statement after host Steve Doocy interrupted to correct him: “Nation of Islam.”

“Bad people,” Trump said. “Bad people. No question about it. Really bad.”
