Go back and read what I said again, and do it slowly.
Trump refused to condemn white supremacists, then condemned them after 3 days of pressure from his party, and then immediately followed it up with "fine people on both sides", and because he took so long to condemn them and immediately followed it up with his "both sides" comments, it was seen as a walk-back.
You are just super desperate to leave out context.
You previously said that there was only white supremacists present, and therefore he had to be talking about them. (Even though he specifically excluded them. ) I agree it was kinda dumb of him to wait, but that doesn't change his explicit condemnation of white supremacists. One has nothing to do with the other. You are just super desperate to label him a racist.

so the fine people on both sides would be including the white supremacists.. Its all inclusive..
why do you keep bringing this up.
do you want trump to either denounce white supremacists which he refused to do. Trump played stupid by "what do you want me to call them?"
Or do a person by person body count on who is or who isn't.
ffs no wonder trump is the pres.
I suggest you read the full quote, not the snippet that liberal media cherry picked to feed to you. He explicitly excluded white supremacists from his statement of "fine people" and said that they should be "condemned totally".
I don't know why he refused to say that again here, but he HAS in the past. My guess would be he did it purposefully to throw the liberal media into a fit over it ("Zomg, see, he's racist!" ) so that they focus on that instead of other issues. Knowing that his supporters know that he isn't. I would say, though, that I think he's underestimating how swing voters will take it, and that it was a mistake.
