Acosta will keep asking the same question until he gets the answer he wants and thereby make himself the center of attention

Trump should have taken that debate opportunity to loudly condemn white supremacy, and do so often.

MSG Stan Hutchison - Hah hhaahhahhahhhhahhha You are a funny funny man.

WALLACE: “Are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups…”
TRUMP: “Sure…”

How many times must he denounce white supremacy before you stop the tactic of seeing what will stick?

As often as necessary to get the word out to those who believe he is their friend, the white supremist.

I've noticed that not a single person who claims "He was asked a direct question. It was the perfect time to squash any and all rumors about his feelings for the white supremacist." will answer HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? Not will they even admit that Donald Trump has EVER said it.

What gets my goat is the left only has to denounce violence in our cities ZERO times for it to not be a question. Well - 50% of America is waiting for the left to answer "When will Biden/Pelosi/Schiff/etc denounce the violence done in the name of BLM and Antifa?"

So you want to make some else (President Trump) responsible for what someone else thinks.

Let's flip that.

Today, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Jerry Nadler; they haven't denounced
_burning businesses and occupied federal buildings
_kicking Trump supporters in the head
_voter fraud
so they must be arsonists, dangerously violent, and in favor of Democrat efforts to steal the elections.

Yup that reads just as silly coming off my keyboard as your assertion that President Trump is a white supremacist.

Did he though... when it counted? The "Proud Boys" didn't seem to think so and understand statements made for political expediency. Of course it is the same kind of selective memory that pops up when people forget Joe Biden says he doesn't want to "defund" police.

Meet Enrique Tarrio. The Afro Cuban American who is the national chairman of the Proud boys. I wonder if he knows that he is the chairman of a white supremacist organization?

Maj John Bell - Thanks Major. I don't believe I entirely stand corrected but I appreciate the perspective. Certainly found myself learning more about the "proud Boys" than I knew before. So, okay, not technically "white supremacists" but "Western Chauvinists" and are better categorized under general hate group ... but run in the same circles as white nationalists and neo-confederates.

I did see what the SPLC had to say and found this: "Other hardcore members of the so-called "alt-right" have argued that the “western chauvinist” label is just a “PR c--- term” McInnes crafted to gain mainstream acceptance. “Let’s not bullshit,” Brian Brathovd, aka Caeralus Rex, told his co-hosts on the antisemitic The Daily Shoah — one of the most popular alt-right podcasts. If the Proud Boys “were pressed on the issue, I guarantee you that like 90% of them would tell you something along the lines of ‘Hitler was right. Gas the Jews.’”"

MSgt Steve Sweeney - Just because they aren't white supremacists doesn't mean they don't bear watching. I watched a video where Tarrio explained that they are primarily a drinking club. He claimed they are not racists, fascists, neo-Nazi, etc. etc. Then he went on to explain that they don't initiate fights with leftists, BUT they finish them. If these guys aren't dangerous now, they could be without much of a leap.

I believe that the reason I can't find the video now is because it violated the community standards of most platforms.
