It's not a burden, it's an opportunity. Any politician should cherish the idea that they'll get brownie points for condemning the KKK and Nazis. It's an incredibly low bar. And yet you and Trump act like the weight of the world is on his shoulders or that he's been crushed by something unfair.

And he can't manage to do it without deflecting to Antifa. He knows where his bread is buttered, he knows these people are part of the base, he doesn't want to alienate them so he same thing both sides it. People notice that and they're not going to stop noticing just because it makes you angry.

That's a take.

Any Democrat would be annoyed by the constant question of white supremacy too.

They won't get it because they aren't constantly bolstering it. The equivalent is Democrats being asked about riots and Antifa, which they constantly are. And they have no issue condemning violence without saying "but the police are bad too" or saying "I've never heard of BLM, but the Republicans have to be stopped."

"stand down and stand by" isn't a condemnation.

Hahaha I love this topic. Not only did I provide proof that Trump is against white supremacy, I got people to defend their racist candidate. Moments like this are what make coming to CE worth it.

i know

trump supporters will always defend him

Trump cycle: refuse to condemn WS group. Then wink and nod at them. Then wait at least 4 days. Then disavow.

I can't speak for Trump but I wouldn't denounce some random group I never heard of.

Why did he give them orders to be at the ready if he never heard of them?

The fact that he allegedly never heard of this prominent white supremacist group is also telling about how much time he wastes posting fake shit on twitter and golfing as opposed to doing his job.

I thought he was "not my president".
He seems pretty insistent on only being the president of the states who voted for him, but like it or not, he's still the nation's president.

Someone ought to remind him of that.

Yes, the choice is between "racist" and "less racist".

The choice sucks, but it still has to be made, because there aren't any other viable options.

It seems like he just doesn't like people pushing him to say it. I get that. If the media pushes you to say it, and then you do, it makes you look like a little bitch. If you don't, then you're racist. It's a no win situation.

A) You don't think there's a lesser of two evils? Making a statement that may make you appear "a little bitch" but has a stronger overrall statement? Lots of politicians (including Biden) have
B) This is YET another post where you find ways to excuse Trump's behavior..

Because every time he condemns them he turns around and praises them or defends them, prompting another condemnation. The cycle repeats. If he really condemned them the first time hed stop treating them with kids gloves to get votes from them.

No, but Antifa and BLM are. Them's the breaks.
You mean the guys who shot two black kids in Chaz?

Didn't BLM also meet up with the Proud Boys in Utah?

I don't know, did they? You'll have to provide a source for that.

Nope, I mean BLM and Antifa. The good guys.

What's wrong with meeting up with a subreddit for communists, trans and non-binary men?
