    I think he spoke up against all those inciting violence this weekend!

    • "To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered.”
    • “Racism is evil – and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including KKK, Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, and other hate groups are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans."
    • "We are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our Creator. We are equal under the law. And we are equal under the Constitution. Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America.”
    • “In times such as these, America has always shown its true character – responding to hate with love, division with unity, and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice."

    I am pleased with what he has stated here. Sure, it could have been said sooner, but all the facts weren't in on Saturday. Here is Trump being presidential.

    It must have been difficult for Trump, a racist, to admitt racist behavior is wrong.
    He'll be brushing his teeth twice as long tonight.

    Glad that he said all this. He should have said it on Saturday but hopefully Ivanka and the smarter people around him convinced him to stop listening to Miller and Bannon, and to do the right thing here.

    He's right. Racism is evil. Hopefully the racists in Charlottesville spewing their racist views will now go into a corner and pout alone.

    Please back up your claim with evidence that Trump is a racist.

    I wonder if he considers racism evil enough to fire Bannon. I doubt it.

    Your post is easily debunked.

    How does it feel to just repeat Left Wing talking points that are not based on reality?

    Joy Reed made An Interesting Comment Yesterday...

    On "Meet The Press" she stated that the statues which are the focus of the protesting were not erected just after the Civil War. It would have been completely inappropriate and considered a traitorous act.

    They were erected during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s to send a message to African Americans. It was clearly meant to intimidate a segment of our population.

    Excellent point.

    To a degree. But not in the way you mean. He basically folded to pressure and joined The Usual Suspects. He was better served with his initial remarks.

    That clown also advised Dems to forget white people. This is the war you will lose that Milo mentioned.

    Would he have done it without the massive criticism he's received?

    His history suggests not.
