President Donald Trump on Wednesday tried to walk back his refusal to outright condemn a far right fascist group during his debate with Democrat Joe Biden, but the inflammatory moment was far from the first time the president has failed to denounce white supremacists or has advanced racist ideas.
Trump’s initial refusal to criticize the Proud Boys — instead saying the group should “stand back and stand by” — drew fierce blowback before he altered his message in a day-later effort to quell the firestorm.
“I don’t know who Proud Boys are. But whoever they are they have to stand down, let law enforcement do their work,” Trump told reporters as he left the White House for a campaign stop in Minnesota. […]

Has Joe Biden ever used the “N” word? I want him asked point blank! Come on Tim Scott. Ask him!!
The media still hasn’t realized that the only idiots that are buying their snake oil are the drooling morons who patronize them. And I’m sure the media believe their own sputum as well.
And the next paragraph about Charlottesville—literally seconds after the “fine people” statement was denouncing the bad guys.
So...to the folks still spouting it, GFY. Read the transcripts. The entire transcripts.

“but the inflammatory moment was far from the first time the president has failed to denounce white supremacists or has advanced racist ideas.”
“The vice president will be a woman of color” - Joe Biden
There was no “remark”.
This is just like the set up Stephanopoulos began by asking Romney if contraceptives could be banned.
Ironically, the Proud Boys disavowed the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville and banned any of their members who attended. They have been a multi-racial men’s organization from their founding.
Yeah, the proud boys are not “far-right”, “fascist”, “racist”, or “white supremacists”.
They held a joint press conference with Black Lives Matter today.
They do hate the fascist Antifa organizations because those groups are trying to destroy western civilization.
3 whores at AP spewing this BS. Those #s know what he meant. But those lying #s have a malicious agenda.
Rock on Gavin, and rock on Proud Boys.
