What the media didn't tell you about Trump and Charlottesville

The heated debate over the weekend about whether President Trump was enabling white supremacist groups revealed the mainstream media's eagerness to label him a racist. Yes, Trump should have more unambiguously spurned racists who invoked his name as inspiration for their violence, but the mainstream media's coverage and Trump haters' reaction also showed the knee-jerk, decrepit nature of this country's discussion on race.
When a white nationalist rally ended in violence in Charlottesville on Saturday, President Trump tweeted, "We all must be united & condemn all that hate stands for."

We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!
