'Proud Boys - Stand back, stand by' Trump sidesteps white supremacist condemnation
Source: AP
WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump danced around a question from moderator Chris Wallace about whether he was willing to condemn white supremacists and military groups.
I would say almost everything I see is from the left wing, not the right wing, Trump responded. Im willing to do anything. I want to see peace.
When pressed further, Trump said, What do you want to call them? Give me a name. Give me a name?
Finally he said, Proud Boys Stand back, stand by, but Ill tell you what, somebodys got to do something about Antifa and the left because this is not right-wing problem..... This is a left wing problem." /snip

"Helter Skelter" rampage.
Trump has these Proud Boys and White Supremacists are deluded in their thinking they are like the MINUTEMEN in the Revolutionary War.
Insurrection......an act of revolting against civil authority or an established government......
Sedition............incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.
This is BY FAR the most thoroughly corrupt political party in the history of our nation. RepubliCONs have become a
truly Fascist Party, with absolutely NO respect for rules or laws, or the Constitution.......
And, Fox news is nothing more than Putin's Pravda/state owned media in Russia.........live and well in America......

(62,435 posts)he pauses.
it's that pause that got me.
there is no need to pause, he was choosing his words.
he knew exactly what he was going to say.
the right wing nazi racists are his only voters and he didn't want to piss them off.
he's a fucking psychopath.
