    Calling a Black POTUS married 25 yrs to 1 wife with 2 children, no mistresses, affairs or scandals, ‘the antichrist’ but a racist white POTUS married thrice, 5 kids by 3 women, mistresses, affairs & scandals, ‘God‘s anointed,’ proves your religion is white supremacy.

    Folks, we deserve better from and his surrogates (Also, read further down in the transcript, where the president is asked to clarify how he defines the alt-right and whether he was making a moral equivalence).

    This should bother us, b/c uses this strategy (or feigns ignorance) to absolve himself of moral responsibility for lots of stuff..."Putin told me Russia didn't interfere w/ the 2016 election, so I believe him...MBS swears he didn't kill , so it must be so."

    Second, is making distinctions between the Neo-Nazis and very fine people because the rally organizers didn't identify themselves as Neo-Nazis. Are we children here who can't identify people by their actions, whether or not they use labels?

    So, because condemned Neo-Nazis, we should assume that he's not including them among the "very fine people?" First, given this man's tendency to reverse himself regularly, I wouldn't make that assumption.

    I've been deeply troubled by the & revisionist history re: this week. When I read the same part of the transcript that Cortes cites, I see a president playing rhetorical sleight of hand to have it both ways. via

    Just for context, lives where that tiki torch parade happened. It's a dorm, & students had started moving in that day. Some kids chose to stay w/ their parents that night. I hear Larry opened his home to those who got stuck. But Robert E. Lee deserves praise...SMH

    You know what I heard that weekend? Not one single comment about Robert E. Lee. But I did hear racial slurs and the chants, "Jews will not replace us!" and "Into the ovens!" Very fine people, indeed.

    Shootings at places of worship are always horrible, but it's especially painful when they coincide with religious holidays. This has got to stop!
