Wonder how long it will take thin skinned Trump to lash out at him n Twitter? Trump waited hours to give a half assed response about Charlottesville. I bet he lashes out here a lot quicker.

An African-American CEO of a major pharmaceutical company has resigned from a presidential council in a direct response to President Trump's remarks about "many sides" being to blame for violence over the weekend in Charlottesville.
Merck CEO and Chairman Kenneth C. Frazier said he was leaving Trump's American Manufacturing Council, arguing U.S. leaders must "clearly reject expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy."
"Our country's strength stems from its diversity and the contributions made by men and women of different faiths, races, sexual orientations and political beliefs," Frazier said in a statement that did not mention Trump by name.

If he quit over Charlottesville, Trump isn't the only one who is thin skinned. All of those hardcore ideologue idiots deserve each other.

You do realize that council is mostly symbolic, right?

So how did Trump calling out all sides differentiate from that message?
Ohhh, what he really meant was Faith's, races, and political beliefs that he agrees with.

Merck is a US pharma company.
Believe it or not TRUMP wants to import cheaper drugs form outside the US.
The democrats oppose it(and have actively voted to stop it) as do the Republicans?(who have also voted to prevent it)!
Given that tidbit of info, why would a low info voter such as Toddy even bother to bring this up?

You might should add that Ken is probably for BLM.
