If he keeps condemning people on his side without knowing anything about them, he won’t have any on his side.

It’s wrong to condemn the only people in the streets fighting to protect your supporters.

99.99999% of the violence/civil unrest this year has been antifa/blm...left wing.

But here we are, being hounded about “right wing supremacists”.

How does our President feel about the KKK and Antifa?

"Of course Charlottesville would come up, and of course Trump would be asked about white supremacy."

I disagree. Given all of the leftist rioting in the past four months, a more obvious question would be to ask Biden to denounce BLM/Antifa, but no one is doing that. Trump probably did not expect the question because "white supremacists" haven't been doing much lately - the violent left has been dominating the news for months.

Yup. President Trump has a long history of saying what any decent person would say about racism.

I think it’s time to just tell the media that their lies are not worth a response. They know the truth and they lie constantly.

I’m so sick of this! Trump doesn’t PROMOTE white supremacy, therefore, he shouldn’t be asked to condemn it out of nowhere. This is the classic, did you stop beating your wife? argument, and it’s infuriating.

Yeah that was a bad move. He handled the Proud Boys thing completely wrong. One of their black leaders came out an condemned Biden and then Trump stabbed them in the back. Trump could have done this without even mentioning them.

And this would be the 100,000th time Trump’s done this? Subversive bastards.

“I’ve said it many times, and let me be clear again: I condemn the [Ku Klux Klan]. I condemn all white supremacists. I condemn the Proud Boys. I don’t know much about the Proud Boys, almost nothing. But I condemn that,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

____________________________________________________

Trump knows nothing about the Proud Boys? They are some of his most arent supporters out on the streets.

Boy, it’s statements like this that make me wonder if Trump really is in touch with his base sometimes.

Does anyone here have a shred of proof that “Proud Boys” is racist? Because I have never seen any such proof.

Jim Acosta doesn’t know the meaning of the word -— FINALLY, or he is deliberately practicing selective remembering ( I’ll take LYING for $200 Mr. Trebek ).

He can’t fight the misconception of Proud Boys.

It’s been hammered into the public by the deep state media.

All he can do is condemn, rightly or wrongly.

Trump’s in a corner on this.

He should meet with representatives from the Proud Boys and learn their agenda and goals. Also learn that maybe it is individuals from Proud Boys who have beaten the crap out of antifa weenies (see various videos of antifa being pounded).

The problem is that the Left has succesfully conflated race and culture. So standing up for your culture has become racist. It’s not about skin color anymore.

Biden scored a few debate points with the “his own government says” bit. Yes, that is a huge problem. Trump’s FBI and DHI consider white supreemist organizations to be the top threat, not Antifa and BLM who are literally burning cities. Trump had no choice but to fill roles from the GOP. About all that can be said is that they are better than the Democrats.

I wish he has directed this to Chris “Wallace” since Chris keeps asking about it.

Trump is showing as much ignorance as Lindsay Graham. By condeming Proud Boys, who he obviously knows nothing about, he is throwing away black support. Proud Boys has far more more black members than BLM and Antifa and is lead by Blacks who defend Western civilization.
