White House: White supremacists included in Trump's condemnation of violence

Source: The Hill

The White House on Sunday defended President Trump's remarks denouncing the violence in Charlottesville, Va. one day earlier, saying his condemnation includes "white supremacists, KKK Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups."

"The President said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry, and hatred," the White House said in a statement.

"Of course that includes white supremacists, KKK Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups," a spokesperson added.

"He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together."

As pointed out in the GD topic based on tweets from jourmalists when this statement was released

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029453914

it's from an unnamed WH spokesperson. No one's name attached to it.

And this was NOT what Trump said yesterday.

No attempts at after-the-fact repair work changes that. Those creepy white fascists are part of trump's base---always have been, always will be.

Although I did not personally know Heather Heyer, she was close to several people I do know. Your "condolences" and "best regards" are not wanted, Herr Twitler, FOAD! Delete your presidency!

all one has to do is look at what you did, in your f*cking empire in the housing situation.

Lets go back and see how you f*cking handle racism in housing:

While you are standing in front of your mother and father-------------your racism didn't fall far from the tree ass**** these two people were sitting and standing right behind you when you did this sh*t and your father did this sh*t, making millions in the process, with your economic racism, and you are standing behind your f*cking kids doing the same f*cking sh*t.

Just like the white terrorist(s) in Charlottesville, they got there training while sitting across the table eating the racist sh*t coming out of his / there parents mouth.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/28/us/politics/donald-trump-housing-race.html


So ass**** sexual predator when are you going to fire Gorka, Bannon and Miller from your racist inner circle team?

How about the new head of your other racists team Kelly, you know the ass**** that was leading the racist charge at the DHS. And then we have the other racist Perry, Zinke, and everyone else that has to pass the racists litmus test to be on your f*cking team.

Then and now the airwaves are getting the Gingrich BS of left wing conspiracy is the problem, FUCK YOU GINGRICH AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON.

Then to top it all off the airwaves are giving the masses the BS of republicans saying the same sh*t your saying, while they in Congress and in State legislatures passing laws to continue this economic racism and installing fear, FUCK YOU

Hey ass**** how many people on your white nationalist side had f*cking guns at this event.................
