Those people are among the 30% or so that still support Trump. He can't afford to lose the angry white man vote, even part of it.

Maybe he should call them a basket of deplorables.

He condemned all violence today, and specifically utters the phrase bigotry

Why not call out the group by name? Like Radical Islamic terrorism?

Because the violence was not one sided today, at all

Why do you guys refuse to educate yourselves?

Read the transcript of his speech. He condemned all!
Even if he condemned them all by name, the liberal biased MSM would find a couple a dozen things to fault. He will never get a brake. Learn it, live it, love it.

When a libtard calls me a name I gloriously accept victory!

Call them both out by name them

Don't release trite statements and "lead" just like Obama did

Yes, I'm saying he acted like Obama today

He could have called out both groups by name. The Alt-right and Antifa.

He was intentionally vague.

Go back and watch it. He mailed that speech in, there was no emotion, no sincerity... nothing. He made it about himself. TBH I expected more...

What's a White nationalist? What's alt right and how do you define both?

Aren't both of these opposed by their exact opposites with hundreds of thousands more people?

Free speech is in the process of being crushed.

Didn't we hear for decades that the minority must have a voice in this country?

When did that change?

It doesn't matter what each of our definitions for this are, it matters what groups have hijacked these terms.

As of now, the majority opinion in this country is that these Nazi idiots are the white nationalist and alt-right, and naming their rally "Unite the Right" makes it sound like all conservatives are now Nazis. How can you people not see how stupid it is to let these racists hijack our party for their bullshite agenda.

Then he should throw in the NAACP and the United Negro College Fund too.

It's funny how American political discourse must fit within a certain prism. Trump has to disavow specifically the statements or actions of people who may have voted for him and that Trump has no control over, or be labeled a racist or a Nazi.

Meanwhile, the very same politicians who think it a crime he doesn't specifically disavow these "racist" views have no problem operating a foreign policy that indiscriminately kills scores of brown people the world over. Yet that doesn't qualify any of said politicians as being racists or murderers.

Did they kill people today?

Give me a fricking break

The double standard argument is 100% legit, but stop the kneejerk deflection

See, impossible to satisfy. If you ask him, I'm sure he'll refund whatever you paid to watch!

No.

Has the "alt-right" claimed responsibility for today?

Or are the propagandists assigning it to them?

Democrats need to condemn the anti-white hate speech coming from their party.

I cannot believe that people get so very upset and whiny because the POTUS doesn't use the EXACT WORDS that they want him to use to condemn racism and violence.

It's astounding.
