He couldn’t leave it at that. I watched. I heard. He couldn’t simply say he condemn white supremacy.

Because it's not those groups committing violence and burning down cities. frick.

Because it’s a fricking fallacy that white supremacy is an issue when you have antifa idiots causing violence across the country.



if somebody asks me if I don't like apples, I'm not gonna go on a rant about pickles

"No, I don't like apples. Apples are bad and should be condemned."

Done and done.

It’s a lie but it was a great opportunity for him to set the record straight and he squandered it. I don’t get it at all. He could have even turned the question on Biden and asked him to do the same for ANTIFA which is a much bigger threat than white supremacists.

I’m not a huge Trump guy, and I’m probably 70/30 leaning to the right.

I have friends who are 70/30 to the left and they also see that “white supremacy” is a nothing burger compared to what’s going on in this country right now.

Pretty obvious most of you don’t understand who these debates are really for.

He agreed with condemning it then condemned the actual groups committing the violence, the groups that Biden said was "just an idea."

Christ he’s only denounced White supremacy about 200 times the last four years.

Would have been nice if Wallace asked Joe to condemn the riots.


No, the equivalent would have been, "do you condemn Antifa and BLM?"...

Condemning riots is easy. Harder to condemn ideas in a land of free thought.

To the Proud Boys specifically, he's not going to make them a terrorist org.
I'm only familiar with them because of their name. Can you give examples of their terrorism?

I agree it’s a dumb question and he could have said the same.

And ABC would have written the same headline.

He screwed by telling the Proud Boys to “stand by”. That is what the media is running with. Nothing else he said mattered.

But they wouldn’t have the sound byte to go along with the headline. He gave them ammo instead.

And? They’re running with mostly that comment to say he won’t denounce white supremacy. It was an easy question.

I assume this is distorted or outright lie?


His “stand back and stand by” comment is going to be a big issue for him going forward. He actually was starting to denounce them, then walked it back before making that comment. I couldn’t believe it. Now the Democrats are going to treat it like he basically just announced he was in the KKK.

The only I heard was "sure" when Chris was trying to ask the question ... that was really before he started answering the question... then he went on some rant. So, they will be able to say that he did not. it was another example of him getting off track. He should have said it clearly ... the moved to antifa - HE DID NOT.
