Read President Trump's Remarks Condemning White Supremacists
Time ^ | AUGUST 14, 2017 | RYAN TEAGUE BECKWITH

All of this "Trump is a racist" crap is nonsense.

JUST READ HIS COMMENTS!

The money quote:

We must love each other, show affection for each other and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.

Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs including the KKK, neo Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.

We are a nation founded on the truth, that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our creator, we are equal under the law and we are equal under our Constitution.

We are renegotiating trade deals and making them good for the American worker and it’s about time. Our economy is now strong. The stock market continues to hit record highs. Unemployment is at a 16-year low and businesses are more optimistic than ever before. Companies are moving back to the United States and bringing many thousands of jobs with them. We have already created over 1 million jobs since I took office. We will be discussing economic issues in greater detail later this afternoon, but based on the events that took place in Charlottesville over the weekend, I would like to provide the nation with an update on the ongoing federal response to the horrific attack and violence that was witnessed by everyone.

I just met with FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into the deadly car attack that killed one innocent American and wounded 20 others. To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend’s racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered. As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. It has no place in America. And as I have said many times before, no matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag and we are all made by the same almighty God.

We must love each other, show affection for each other and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.

Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs including the KKK, neo Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.

We are a nation founded on the truth, that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our creator, we are equal under the law and we are equal under our Constitution.

Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America. Two days ago, a young American woman, Heather Heyer, was tragically killed. Her death fills us with grief and we send her family our thoughts, our prayers and our love. We also mourn the two Virginia state troopers who died in service to their community, their commonwealth and their country.

Troopers Jay Cullen and Berke Bates exemplify the very best of America, and our hearts go out to their family, their friends and every member of American law enforcement. These three fallen Americans embody the goodness and decency of our nation.

In times such as these America has always shown its true character, responding to hate with love, division with unity and violence with an unwavering resolve for justice.

As a candidate, I promised to restore law and order to our country, and our federal law enforcement agencies are following through on that pledge.

We will spare no resource in fighting so that every American child can grow up free from violence and fear. We will defend and protect the sacred rights of all Americans, and we will work together so that every citizen in this blessed land is free to follow their dreams in their hearts and to express the love and joy in their souls. Thank you, God bless you and God bless America. Thank you very much.

Who cares? The left is as racist as they come. I hate that the left always, ALWAYS gets the right to run around in circles.

Yea, and almost always when someone gives examples of racist groups they tend to be white ones. Like the others don’t exist? And are they not the pinnacle of hatred to others outside their race? Apparently not. We are led to believe only white supremacists to be the singular threat to society. More propaganda vilifying whitey...as a whole.

I’m not sure he should say anything one way or the other. No matter what he says or doesn’t say, someone, somewhere, will bitch about it, will twist it into something it’s not, and do harm to Pres. Trump’s reputation and his record any way they can.

But, I’m not the boss, so the above is only my paltry little $0.02. Personal inclination would be to say nothing more than “No comment. Next question please”.

Guess it doesn’t work that way in the real world, though. :-)

This is missing the point.

The left calls EVERYBODY WHO DISAGREES WITH THEM 'White Supremacists'.

So, even though there is no evidence that Proud Boys are White Supremacists, Wallace demanded that Trump include them in the label.

I NEVER miss the point. NEVER.

This is EXACTLY on point.

The media took this statement out of context from the get go. This has led to the media calling him a racist when he is absolutely not.

If you don’t want to defend the truth the vote Democrat.

I NEVER miss the point. NEVER.
