Trump’s critics reveling in the opportunity to tie him to white racists and Nazis
By Thomas Lifson
My colleague Rick Moran is highly critical of President Trump for equally condemning those who came to Charlottesville, VA seeking violence on behalf of their version of justice in racial issues:
While the president condemned the violence and hate, he softened his criticism by blaming "all sides" for the violence. This may have been technically accurate. But by not specifically condemning white supremacists and most importantly, their rancid ideology, the president played into the hands of his critics who are now condemning his statement as "insufficient."
Those critics were going to slam the president no matter what he said or did. Former Governor Mike Huckabee put it well this morning on Fox and Friends: “If President Trump helicoptered down to Charlottesville, went into the jail and shot the lethal driver, critics would say he used the wrong caliber gun.” (I quote form memory and may paraphrase a little.)
