    That was the childish and junvenile one calling someone racist when they are not is vile. Fake excuse. You're just had that Biden started it and Trump took him aback and all Biden had left was acting like a child.

    No worse than "liar", "crooked", "lock her up", and the many other slurs that Trump used 4 years ago that Trump supporters cheered on hearing Trump say. Unfortunately for Trump, Biden did not cower like Clinton did when bullied by Trump

    I've already pointed out the lies Biden has been spewing, dodge noted. Crooked? Yes Trump noted the crookedness in his family profitting off his government position getting payoffs from foreigners and foreign governments and he lied when he denied it. And yes Biden did cower and had to resort to his vile name calling and invective and then refusing to answer questions about his positions on key matters.

    (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

    PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I would say almost everything I see is from the left wing, not from the right wing.
    CHRIS WALLACE: So what are you...
    TRUMP: If you look...
    WALLACE: What are you saying...
    TRUMP: I'm willing to do anything - I want to see peace.
    WALLACE: Well, then do it, sir.
    JOE BIDEN: Say it. Do it. Say it.
    TRUMP: Do you want to call them - what do you want to call them? Give me a name. Give me a name. Go ahead...
    WALLACE: White supremacists and right-wing militia.
    (CROSSTALK)
    TRUMP: Who would you like me to condemn?
    BIDEN: The Proud Boys.
    TRUMP: Who?
    BIDEN: The Proud Boys.
    TRUMP: The Proud Boys, stand back, and stand by. But I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what - somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left because this is not a right-wing problem.

    So then you acknowledge that he didn't tell white supremacists to stand back and stand by.

    Yeah stop whatever it is Wallace was trying to say they are doing and not the first time Trump has condemned them and he did again the next day. So how many times does he have to do so and did Biden call out BLM and Antifa by name and condemn them and their anarchy?

    I was responding to somebody's request for the exact quote. However, I don't know anything about the Proud Boys so I don't know if they are white supremacists or not.

    It wasn't my argument so I have no answer is to how many times he (Trump) has to say it.
    I didn't hear Biden condemn BLM or Antifa during the debates (but that doesn't mean he hasn't. I just don't know.).

    Funny how NPR says there was (CROSSTALK) where the President clearly stated "sure, I'm willing to do that,"

    They have both denounced all the loons. I don't like this petty stuff. Let's debate the important stuff.

    Let's be clear.. Trump doesn't start tyhe invectives.. when attacked , he attacks back, that's a big reason we love him.. I was so disappointed in W Bush for not taking up for himself and by extension .. us. Liar and crooked? I don't know if he said that.. she is, and lock her up was a chant from his base..still hoping she comes to justice for at least some of her crimes.

    I am unsure why Chris Wallace even asked about "white supremists" when the current violence is obviously leftist. Trump refused to let the subject be taken off track. Also I think asking Biden about Hunter's business dealings on official foreign trips while his father was vice-president is a fair question. I question why the moderator didn't bring this up, so Trump had to. I felt like no one learned anything from this debate and I may not even watch another one.

    On Sept. 7, 2020, Biden conducted an interview with WGAL’s Barbara Barr in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Barr asked Biden for his views on violent unrest, to which Biden replied: “I’ve condemned it across the board. The president still hasn’t condemned the far-right folks coming out and protesting and using violence.”

    Barr then asked Biden “Do you condemn antifa?” To which Biden answered: “Yes I do. Violence, no matter who it is.”

    And won the debate by every serious metric. Even risked his life by being in the same room as trump and his wildly dangerous family of Covid Patients
