No, your reading comprehension sucks.


SPECIFICALLY denouncing BLM. Just all y'all are clamoring for Trump to SPECIFICALLY denounced white racists.

That you called out Obama for not specifically denouncing BLM.

I continuously attacked Obama for not calling out the excesses of the radical left - especially the BLM and ANTIFA thugs - and refusing to associate Islamic Terror with - you know, Islam.

“Once you’ve highlighted an issue and brought it to people’s attention and shined a spotlight, and elected officials or people who are in a position to start bringing about change are ready to sit down with you, then you can’t just keep on yelling at them,” Mr. Obama said. “And you can’t refuse to meet because that might compromise the purity of your position,” he continued. “The value of social movements and activism is to get you at the table, get you in the room, and then to start trying to figure out how is this problem going to be solved.”


So be honest. If Trump invited David Duke to the white house to "get him at the table and figure out how this is going to be solved". What would you do?

No it doesn't. Y'all are calling for specific denouncements now but you weren't then.

How about marching down the streets yelling "WHAT DO WE WANT? = DEAD COPS!!!! WHEN DO WE WANT THEM?? = NOW!!!!!" This before and after open assassinations of at least a dozen cops.
I'm aware of one time in Brooklyn that some group of scumbags did that. I'm unaware that it was "BLM" - nor that it happened more than once.

You're a moron. I mean truly stupid.

The OP is saying "if Obama dennoncing ALL violence without specifically pointing to groups like BLM was okay with you, why is Trump expected to do more and point out specific groups?"

Idiot

How pathetic.

Back to Obama when your guy doesn't do the right thing.

Back to Obama to make you feel better because your guy had an opportunity to stand out and chose instead to hide in the shadows.

Pretty pathetic that this is all you have...but I'm not shocked at all.

He is not going to call everyone in BLM a Racist. There are some in there who are not.

Outrage that Obama didn't call out a specific group, then outraged with the outrage when Trump is asked to do the same but won't.

Criticize the left for their hypocrisy, but to ignore one's own hypocrisy, on the same topic, is strange.

Your comprehension sucks too. Hi didn't denounce the group promoting the violence against Dallas. You didn't say shite about it then but you can't shut up about it now.


Why the difference?

Yes there is. And here is just one of his milder statements
quote:

"Whenever those of us who are concerned about fairness in the criminal justice system attack police officers, you are doing a disservice to the cause," Obama said, calling violence against police a "reprehensible" crime that needs to be prosecuted. "But even rhetorically, if we paint police in broad brush without recognizing that the vast majority of police officers are doing a really good job and are trying to protect people … if the rhetoric does not recognize that, then we're going to lose allies in the reform cause."

He most certainly did. And it's already been posted. Right below your response
