By ESME CRIBB Published AUGUST 14, 2017 10:28 AM
One of President Donald Trumps favorite news sources on Sunday took a stronger stance than he did, and condemned Trumps own milquetoast remarks on a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where one person died after a car plowed into a crowd of counter-protesters.
In an editorial titled Trump badly missed the mark on Charlottesville, the editorial board of the New York Post called for Trump to find the right words.
Trump on Saturday failed to address the hate groups at the rally, instead condemning hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides on many sides.
Really: That was it, the editorial board wrote. Yet many sides didnt drive a car into a crowd, an evident act of terrorism that killed Heather Heyer, 32, and hospitalized many more.
The editorial board said the President shouldnt have a difficult time summoning a few Trumpian terms like losers and really, really bad people to describe the hundreds of neo-Nazis, Klansmen, white supremacists and the like who descended on the college town not after one of them has killed an innocent.
