Trump calls white supremacists 'repugnant'

That would be racist.

PVT James Strait - my statement was meant to be somewhat facetious but it is far too true to life, sadly.

Trump is NOT Bill Clinton, he did not need to define what "IT" is. In President Trump's case ALL is pre-defined.

But why has it been so hard for him to denounce white supremacists? He didn't do it immediately as a candidate when they said they support him. He didn't do it this time. His daughter posted to Twitter denouncing them within hours. Why couldn't he as the President!! But he can denounce the CEO who just left his council. He can attack SNL and Alec Baldwin the day after SNL airs. He can go after all these other groups and people but not white supremacists and it's just very odd.

SFC (Join to see) - I don't know how old you are, but I've lived through several decades watching the Nazis, all ten of them, gather regularly and parade through American cities and towns. Every time they did, opposition parties, including the JDL, would gather to protest them. There were lots of ugly looks and some coarse invectives hurled but, at the end of the day, they parted ways without shedding blood. Same with the KKK and White Supremacists. Something has changed. What is it? Well, there are plenty blaming the election of President Trump. Somehow he is the one who has emboldened them. But, as I said, they were gathering and demonstrating long before he was President, even before he was born. Some claim these miscreants got him elected, but there aren't enough of them to get a dog catcher elected in any medium sized city. Again I ask, what's changed? Well, the gathering in Charlottesville, VA seems to coincide with efforts to remove statuary honoring Civil War heroes of the Southern persuasion. That's never happened before. Also, the event was attended by Anti-Fa. That hasn't happened before either. Now let's look at Anti-fa. They seem to have developed a reputation for violence in their short history, haven't they? Have you seen the photos and video of them attacking anyone who isn't a member of their "organization"? The professor who assaulted a bystander with a bicycle lock? Others who have been beaten and trampled by people wearing Anti-Fa regalia? So, why should we assume that the Nazis, white supremacists, and KKK started the trouble? Because they're rude, crude, and nasty people? Do rude, crude, and nasty people have the right to defend themselves? Now, before you reach for the vote down button, keep in mind that I'm not a Nazi. One of my greatest regrets is that I was born too late to fight the Nazis in the last world war and will be to old to fight them in the next. Nor am I a member of the KKK or a white supremacist. I have stood against them while growing up in the South (at no little danger to myself). But I'm also a student of the law and history, and respect both. I'm trying to look at the situation to understand and possibly contribute to a solution rather than simply stoke the fires. How about you?

Be honest, the President can't do anything right in your mind. And I could posit the reason, but in an attempt to keep things civil I won't. Alec Baldwin who called his own daughter a pig? Give me a break.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - Yes. But, he said the words - even at cost of some base. Sandy :)

At this point who cares what he says. He had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the podium to utter that lame ass statement. He is a clown. If it was something he actually gave a shit about he would be all over Twitter tweeting his happy little ass off.
