‘Racism is Evil’ — Donald Trump Condemns KKK, Neo-Nazis, and White Supremacists
Breitbart News ^ | 08/14/2017 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 08/14/2017 9:59:40 AM PDT by GIdget2004

President Donald Trump denounced hate groups at the White House on Monday, responding to critics of his response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virgina surrounding an alt-right rally.

“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,” Trump said.

The president made his remarks in the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House after meeting with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the FBI Director Chris Wray.

Trump specifically named Heather Heyer, the 32-year-old woman killed during the protests after a reported Nazi sympathizer drove his car into a crowd of counter protesters.

“We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence,” he said.

Maybe talking about it beforehand taints any investigation. The other leftist groups, the instigators, will be named later.

The lefties for carrying explicit destructive evil.

The righties for going in there weak, and not being able to control the nuts.

As stated on another thread on FR, which bears repeating even if Pres. Trump grabbed an AK47, jumped in front of that Challenger and blasted away, the usual suspects would still call him a racist. Trump has been in the spotlight for over 40 yrs. For him to get as big as he is he had to interact with all kinds of people of all conceivable races ethnicities, etc. If he were this racist/sexist/homophobic/whatever monster they say he is it would’ve come out long ago.

Was supposed to be the local governments job to control the nuts. They failed and will be exposed during this investigation.

In a couple months this story will spring back up but have a completely different outcome.

Nothing like coming to FR to read the knee jerking postings of the never Trumpers. No wonder the Freepathons go on forever.

Nope, they will just continue on their goal to utterly annihilate those who think differently. The “anyone but liberals is evil and racist” has been going on for some time now, and you have quite a number who subscribe to that idea.

But when he started naming groups Antifa and BLM were omitted.
Not wise.

As the President of all the nation, I don’t see anything wrong with the above statement.

great; so were you on board when Ivanka and Mike Pence said exactly the same...? there was quite the kerfuffle on this website earlier about them...

They don’t care that they have given society cancer in the process.

I thought they were opening a civil rights investigation. That doesn’t have to do with race but the denial of civil rights to someone or someones.

Thanks for the correction. But I don’t see how it’s a civil rights issue, either - seems just like the Feds just want some way to stick their noses into a local crime.

And nobody told me? Vhy didn't anyone tell me, vhat am I chopped livah? WOW, something ANTIFA and White supremacists can agree on! Isn't it wonderful when two diametrically opposed factions can come together? /sarc I don't even get mad at sh!t like this anymore, I react with 2 words, I WISH! I wish my ancestors were let in on the ground floor of this "Jewish "banking conspiracy". I wish my great grandfathers took control of the media and infiltrated the gov't OY VAY!

I am on board with President Trump and stand firmly on the Trump train. Advisors and vice-Presidents statements are of no concern to me that raises to the level of causing a kerfuffle. I leave that to the assortment of Never Trumpers and ex-Cruz supporters who are still bitter and will never accept all the good he has done so far.

You mean he left out mentioning the Soros-dem connection, and their funding of domestic terrorism?

If years go by and there’s no sign of Trump or his AG going after leftist domestic subversives, then you might have a point.

For now, we should trust the man we elected.

I’d wait to see what Trump’s DOJ does. But if some folks’d rather blow a gasket, no skin off my nose :-)

Trust starts with being truthful. Not mentioning the groups such as
Antifa And BLM by name is not being truthful.

I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt on that one, trusting that he’ll mention it when top democrat heads roll and Soros is being deported to some formerly eastern bloc country.
