What a surprise! Chris Wallass is suggesting that POTUS needs to get on TV and strongly condemn white supremacy. He was almost badgering Mulvaney re the need for this to be done. He also by innuendo, suggests POTUS has contributed to this violence against Muslim, by his tone and rhetoric. Mulvaney wasn’t buying any of it.

Not watching any of this, but it would be nice is a major spokesperson would ask if it would be appropriate to condemn the Muslim killing of hundreds of Christians by Muslims every month and for the media to report the mass Muslim on Christian atrocities?

Well, I wish Trump's message was: "We don't want any violence, just get em out".

Here are Trump's ACTUAL words about the Charlottesville protests, at the press conference. The Left and the press (but that's redundant) have so distorted his remarks that when they're actually read in their entirety, the contrast is stunning. He DID condemn Neo-Nazi's and White Supremacists. The Press tried even then to conflate that with so-called white nationalism (means if you happen to be white and love your nation), but Trump was having none of that and spoke the truth! Read on:

TRUMP: As far as I’m concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day. Wait a minute, I'm not finished. I'm not finished, fake news. That was a horrible day.

REPORTERS YELL INDISTINCTLY

TRUMP: I will tell you something. I watched those very closely, much more closely than you people watched it. And you had, you had a group on one side that was bad. And you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. And nobody wants to say that, but I'll say it right now. You had a group – you had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit, and they were very, very violent.

REPORTER: Do you think what you call the alt left is the same as neo-Nazis?

TRUMP: Those people – all of those people, excuse me – I've condemned neo-Nazis. I've condemned many different groups, but not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch.

REPORTER: Well, white nationalists –

TRUMP: Those people were also there, because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue Robert E. Lee. So – excuse me – and you take a look at some of the groups and you see, and you’d know it if you were honest reporters, which in many cases you’re not. Many of those people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. So this week, it’s Robert E. Lee, I noticed that Stonewall Jackson’s coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week? And is it Thomas Jefferson the week after. You know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?

TRUMP: But, they were there to protest – excuse me – you take a look the night before, they were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. Infrastructure question. Go ahead.

REPORTER: Does the statue of Robert E. Lee stay up?

TRUMP: I would say that’s up to a local town, community or the federal government, depending on where it is located.
