all Americans planning to vote for Trump over the next five weeks — must be made to confront a simple truth: They are supporting a candidate who embraces violent white supremacists.
There is no way around it.
Invited at Tuesday’s presidential debate, in front of tens of millions of viewers, to condemn white supremacists and militias, the president of the United States declined. He then singled out, and made common cause with, one violent gang characterized by his own FBI as an extremist group with ties to white nationalism. Rather than tell that group, the Proud Boys, to stand down, Trump suggested they “stand back and stand by” — presumably, for further violence when needed.
