DONALD TRUMP IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST

Fox News Reporter Urges McEnany to Make ‘Declarative Statement’ That Trump Denounces White Supremacists – She Doesn’t

Published

Fox News chief White House correspondent John Roberts urged Kayleigh McEnany to make a “declarative statement” that President Donald Trump denounces white supremacy, but she refused.

“I’d like to ask you for a definitive and declarative statement without ambiguity or deflection, as the person who speaks for the President: Does the President denounce white supremacism and groups that espouse it, in all their forms?” Roberts very specifically asked. During Tuesday’s presidential debate Trump also was unable to specifically denounce white supremacists.

“This has been answered yesterday by the President himself, the day before by the President himself on the debate stage, the President was asked this he said ‘sure’ three times,” McEnany – very prepared – responded.

“Yesterday he was asked point blank, asked, ‘Do you denounce white supremacy and he said, ‘I’ve always denounced any form of that,’ so I can go back and read for you,” McEnany said. “He has condemned white supremacy more than any president in modern history.”

McEnany did not mention that Trump has repeatedly been asked to condemn white supremacy because he keeps telegraphing support for it, and white supremacists and other extremists know it. She also neglected to mention Trump said denouncing the white supremacists and neo-Nazis at Charlottesville was the “biggest f*cking mistake I’ve made.”

Roberts was not satisfied.

“Just to clear it up this morning, can you – naming it – make a declarative statement that the president denounces it?”

“I just did,” McEnany said, falsely.

“I’m just asking you to put this to rest,” Roberts said, as McEnany talked over him.

She then went on to attack the media.

President Donald Trump got visibly and audibly angry when asked about his difficulty denouncing white supremacy.

Trump blasted NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie as she told him about his recent battle with denouncing white supremacy.

“Oh you always do this,” Trump, fuming, replied condescendingly. “No you always do this. You’ve dine this to me – everybody – I denounce white supremacy, OK?” the president declared angrily.

“I’ve denounced white supremacy for years. But you always do it. You always start off with the question.”

“You didn’t ask Joe Biden whether oir not he denounces Antifa,” Trump charged. “Are you listening? I denounced white supremacy. Next question.”

Trump Couldn’t Condemn White Supremacists. He Told Far Right Extremists ‘Proud Boys’ to ‘Stand By’ – They’re Cheering

The Proud Boys are cheering.

The group that calls themselves the “Proud Boys,” and claim to be “western chauvinists” but have been called a far right extremist, neo-fascist, misogynistic, transphobic, Islamophobic, and white nationalist hate group that promotes violence, just got a major show of support from President Donald Trump.

During Tuesday night’s presidential debate Fox News’ Chris Wallace asked the President – who has a long and ugly history of racism, white nationalism, and some say white supremacism – to condemn white supremacists.

He couldn’t.

Ultimately, he told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.”

The group took to the social media platform Parler, which has become home to white supremacists, conservatives, and anti-Semites, and cheered. New York Times correspondent Mike Baker, who has been doing excellent work in Portland, tweeted out screenshots immediately after Trump’s remarks.

Clearly they’re ready for action – and awaiting orders from the president.

Journalist Jonathan Katz says Trump didn’t condemn, he gave an order:

Media Matters’ senior researcher Alex Kaplan reports the Proud Boys immediately incorporated Trump’s orders into their logo:

CNN Security Correspondent Josh Campbell notes the language Trump used means “remain ready and alert.”

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) says Trump didn’t just refuse to denounce white supremacists, he cheered them on.

The Anti-Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt says Trump owes Americans an apology or an explanation:

Fox News host Chris Wallace asked President Donald Trump during Tuesday night’s debate if he would condemn white supremacists.

He couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Trump could not say, “I condemn white supremacists.”

He hemmed and hawed.

He asked Wallace to give him a name.

He just couldn’t do it.

“I’m willing to do it but almost everything I see if from the left wing and not the right wing.”

Ultimately, this is what he managed to say.

“Proud Boys, stand back and stand by…”

Stand by?
