What a loser. This guy should be fired just for spending more than two seconds of his time pretending that neo-Nazis and white supremacists are among the 500 biggest problems most Americans are facing.

President Trump, to his credit, only dealt with this nonsense in response to a public media outcry. Remember -- his comments in the lobby of Trump Tower came in response to a cacophony of questions about Charlottesville from a bunch of media losers at a public announcement that was supposed to be about the White House initiatives for public infrastructure.

I do not understand why press credentials haven't been removed from those "reporters" who are out-of-control, disdainful, and rude. That infrastructure press conference should've started with "we're only taking questions about this administrations infrastructure initiatives. Any reporter who doesn't stay focused on this topic or is disruptive will be removed and their press credentials will be revoked".

Sara Huckabee Sanders is okay. She's articulate and loyal. But it is past time to get daddy Mike Huckabee into the WH to set down some rules about controlling the media. And, oh yeah, there should be some ordinary, from day one, not millionaire Deplorables in the WH and appointed to other positions by now.

I think it’s clear. Once the body Trump works with, pushes it into the political arena, it’s over. This is why he dismantled the business advisory groups, this is why he doesn’t subject himself to ridicule by showing up at some gala to honor artists.

Also keep in mind that this occurred at the height of the North Korea crisis, when Trump had bigger issues to confront than a rally about removing a Confederate statue. Also, the neo-Nazi involvement was not immediately apparent, since the event was billed as a rally to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee, not a neo-Nazi rally. I don't think Trump initially had all the facts; I know I didn't see any film of the Tiki-torch rally until a couple of days after the event.

Hehe, I am willing to bet nearly every single conservative who read this said: “So? What’s holding you back?”

We don’t need any more pussies who are going to fold like a cheap suit at the first sign of pressure from the left.

Having those weak-kneed wimps at Trump’s side is the equivalent of fighting alongside people you know are going to run at the first sign of danger.
