Following reports that a man shouted "Britain First" as he attacked Ms Cox, Mr Golding, former BNP councillor for Sevenoaks District, posted a video on the group's Facebook page.
He described the killing as a "very dark day for democracy".
He added: “We're nothing to do with it. We hope that this person who carried it out is strung up by the neck on the nearest lamp post. That’s the way we view justice."
