I will dispense for now from discussion of the moral character of the president's Charlottesville statements. Whether he intended to or not, what he communicated caused racists to rejoice, minorities to weep, and the vast heart of America to mourn. His apologists strain to explain that he didn't mean what we heard. But what we heard is now the reality, and unless it is addressed by the president as such, with unprecedented candor and strength, there may commence an unraveling of our national fabric. The leaders of our branches of military service have spoken immediately and forcefully, repudiating the implications of the president's words. Why? In part because the morale and commitment of our forces--made up and sustained by men and women of all races--could be in the balance. Our allies around the world are stunned and our enemies celebrate; America's ability to help secure a peaceful and prosperous world is diminished. And who would want to come to the aid of a country they perceive as racist if ever the need were to arise, as it did after 9/11?
In homes across the nation, children are asking their parents what this means. Jews, blacks, Hispanics, Muslims are as much a part of America as whites and Protestants. But today they wonder. Where might this lead? To bitterness and tears, or perhaps to anger and violence?
The potential consequences are severe in the extreme. Accordingly, the president must take remedial action in the extreme. He should address the American people, acknowledge that he was wrong, apologize. State forcefully and unequivocally that racists are 100% to blame for the murder and violence in Charlottesville. Testify that there is no conceivable comparison or moral equivalency between the Nazis--who brutally murdered millions of Jews and who hundreds of thousands of Americans gave their lives to defeat--and the counter-protestors who were outraged to see fools parading the Nazi flag, Nazi armband and Nazi salute. And once and for all, he must definitively repudiate the support of David Duke and his ilk and call for every American to banish racists and haters from any and every association. This is a defining moment for President Trump. But much more than that, it is a moment that will define America in the hearts of our children. They are watching, our soldiers are watching, the world is watching. Mr. President, act now for the good of the country.
I’ll be honest. I’m not sure how much more I can take of this crap.
Nice work. Thanks.

I’m not on FakeBook...how about posting some of these (per thread title) “destroying” replies to Milt, from his supporters, please?
TIA.
I'm sure Mitt thought he was being eloquent, but he came off as sanctimonious and pompous. And wrong.
“Jews, blacks, Hispanics, Muslims are as much a part of America as whites and Protestants”
And herein lies your problem, Mitt . . you swallow the BS that only the PC crowd are the “victims” Try to imagine for one moment, being poor and white. Your hood is the one that gets the Sec 8 housing and the crap that comes with it in your schools It’s your house that is burglarized, trespassed, defaced; that loses value. It’s your sons and daughters who get hassled and harassed. It’s your children who get screwed out of jobs and promotions and admissions in the name of “diversity” by people like you and others who are NEVER affected by it.
Imagine if you will, being blamed for all the Nation’s ills. Have you been paying attention to all the hatred spewed against whites, particularly males by “educators”? Trying reading this site for a change and see the links of hateful crap being tossed our way, and your way. But the difference is, we don’t have your $$$, we just can’t up and leave when bad elements come around.
Trump spoke to Americans who’s blood is every bit as red as yours. But you’re too elitist, selfish and condescending to see the forest because of the trees.
Take the log out of your own eye.
What a wishy washy Quisling.
For a guy who is a devout Mormon, he really is kind of a homo.
LOL. He used the racist term, “blacks.”
What a racist.
What a bunch of condescending crap. A lot of us that aren't white know exactly what the hell is going on. We are more concerned with illegals taking jobs and causing housing shortages. We are more concerned with the constant gang violence in the streets. We are more concerned with a tax system that continues to take more and more of our money. So, Mitt, you can stop hiding behind us and take your "White Knight" syndrome and shove it up your a--, you elitist scumball.
Thank you for posting that but I couldn’t finish reading it all. What mush-mouthed drivel it is. Mutt endorsed leftist violence as a legitimate means to political ends. His explanation (as far as I could stomach reading) simply reinforced his original stand.
Uh, Gov. Romney... Would you care to do a head count of how many people have been killed by the far left vs. the far right?
“Whether he intended to or not, what he communicated caused racists to rejoice, minorities to weep, and the vast heart of America to mourn.”
It’s not what Trump said but what many media outlets told us what he “said”.
