Controversial right-wing commentator Candace Owens has been slammed for using a laughing emoji in a tweet about the New Zealand mosque massacre after being named in the terrorist's manifesto.
The gunman, who identified himself as Brenton Tarrant from Grafton, New South Wales, Australia, named the conservative activist as his biggest influence in his 74-page manifesto.
In the sick document, Tarrant said that Owens helped 'push me further and further into the belief of violence over meekness' - but claimed some of the 'extreme actions' she calls for are 'too much, even for my tastes'.
Shortly after posting it on Twitter, Tarrant, 28, livestreamed the mass shooting inside the Al Noor Mosque in Christchurch at around 1.30pm. The terror attack left 49 people dead and another 48 injured.
Owens tweeted 'LOL!' followed by the emoji in response to a Twitter user whose comment has since been deleted.

Conservative commentator Candace Owens, pictured, has been slammed for using a laughing emoji on a tweet about the New Zealand mosque massacre after being named in the terrorist's manifesto
But she was eviscerated by other users for using a laughing emoji and repeatedly saying 'laugh out loud' as she denied inspiring the terrorist's murderous Islamophobia
'I’ve never created any content espousing my views on the 2nd Amendment or Islam.
'The Left pretending I inspired a mosque massacre in...New Zealand because I believe black America can do it without government hand outs is the reachiest reach of all reaches!! LOL!' she said.
She continued to tweet over the next several hours that she refused to be blamed for the massacre.
When followers pointed out the impropriety of her response, she was indignant and argued back with them but failed to make a single solemn or sympathetic remark about the shooting or its dozens of victims.
'Laughter is not the response one would expect after these murders,' one follower said.
Owens shot back: 'No. But a bunch of racist white liberals flooding my mentions is almost exactly what one would expect. You guys will never de-platform me.'

But Tarrant claimed some of the 'extreme actions' she calls for are 'too much, even for my tastes'. The terror attack, which was the deadliest in New Zealand's history, killed 49 people and left another 48 injured
Owen was eviscerated by followers for her 'tone deaf' posts. She argued back with them afterward and claimed she was the victim of a 'bunch of racist white liberals' but failed to make a single solemn or sympathetic post about the shooting itself
John Iadarola wrote: 'Maybe a little less laughing considering the death toll?'
Aaron Rupar added: 'This is a disgustingly callous response.'
Another user tweeted: 'Yes. A violent massacre is so funny. Hysterical.'
Others pointed out that she had in fact shared her views on the second amendment and Islam in the past, sharing screenshots of recent tweets.
One of her previous tweets was directed towards Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, in which she claimed 'Europe will fall and become a Muslim majority continent by 2050'.
Another, aimed at French president Emmanuel Macron, again warned against the declining birth rate.
When questioned what she was laughing about in the tweet, Owens replied: 'White liberals attempting to beat black conservatives into submission with absurdity... again.'
Owens is best known for her outspoken, anti-Democratic views.
She believes the Democratic party is racist and has formed an alliance with Kanye West in their shared support of Donald Trump.
She has in the past described Black Lives Matters protesters as a 'bunch of whiny toddlers' and has said that Hitler would have been 'OK' if he'd contained his plans to Germany and not tried to take over the world.
'I actually don't have any problems with the word nationalism. Globalism is what I don't want.
Owens is an outspoken supporter of President Trump and has formed an alliance with the equally outspoken Kanye West
Earlier this year she was condemned for saying Hitler would have been 'fine' if he had contained his plans to Germany
'Whenever we say nationalism, the first thing people think of at least in America is Hitler.
'He was a national socialist but if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, OK fine.
'The problem is he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize, he wanted everybody to be speaking German,' she said.
She was condemned for her comments and later clarified her stance that Hitler's massacring of millions of Jews was not 'OK'.
Tarrant launched the attack at Al Noor Mosque in Christchurch on the country's South Island at about 1.30pm as Friday prayers were underway.
At about the same time, there was a second shooting at a mosque in Linwood, which is within 10km of the first attack.
Early reports indicated a shooting at Christchurch Hospital. However, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the mosques were the lone targets.
She did confirm multiple bombs were attached to two cars belonging to the suspects near the mosque. The explosives were disarmed before they could detonate.
Of the 49 fatalities, 41 were killed at the Al Noor Mosque and seven at the Linwood Avenue mosque. Three were outside the mosque itself. A 49th died in hospital.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
