If trump didnt mean to endorse white supremacists....
Has he clarified his statement? I don't have Twitter, but it seems he could reject them loudly to his millions of followers.

Chris Wallace: (41:33)
You have repeatedly criticized the vice president for not specifically calling out Antifa and other left wing extremist groups. But are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia group and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities as we saw in Kenosha and as we’ve seen in Portland.
President Donald J. Trump: (41:57)
Sure, I’m will to do that.
Chris Wallace: (41:59)
Are you prepared specifically to do it.
President Donald J. Trump: (42:00)
I would say almost everything I see is from the left wing not from the right wing.
Chris Wallace: (42:04)
But what are you saying?
President Donald J. Trump: (42:06)
I’m willing to do anything. I want to see peace.
Chris Wallace: (42:08)
Well, do it, sir.
Vice President Joe Biden: (42:09)
Say it, do it say it.
President Donald J. Trump: (42:10)
What do you want to call them? Give me a name, give me a name, go ahead who do you want me to condemn.
Chris Wallace: (42:14)
White supremacist and right-wing militia.
President Donald J. Trump: (42:18)
Proud Boys, stand back and stand by. But I’ll tell you what somebody’s got to do something about Antifa and the left because this is not a right wing problem this is a left wing.

@MarmeeMarch You forget that most people don't care about facts, just a collective fantasy land so people can pat each other on the back imagining themselves being the civil rights activists of the 60s. It is actually quite disgusting, they try to convince people that could be vulnerable, or are different to them, that people are out to get them, so they can jerk off their ego pretending to be a saviour.

@MarmeeMarch "stand by" doesn't sound like a condemnation - more like an order to be ready when I need you

@tindrummer Sounds more like "if someone attacks you, attack back", rather than "stand down, let your guard down", because seriously some of these mobs are viciously attacking innocent people.

@pianoplayingsteve the FBI says most domestic terrorism is done by the right

@pianoplayingsteve I think is more like you are free do do as you wish - just dont be stupid about it.
pianoplayingsteve · 31-35, M
@MarmeeMarch Yeah you could see it that way, I guess. Either way, he is not advocating for violence. Nor are any groups that have sent donations to him burning down cities.

@pianoplayingsteve We have freedom of speech in this country and Trump should have reminded that to the moderator. You dont tell someone to denounce anything - WTF is wrong with that moderator.
