Why Can’t He Just Say It? President Donald Trump refused to clearly condemn white supremacy at last night’s debate. This was no accident. By EMMA GREEN The question Chris Wallace posed to President Donald Trump was direct. “Are you willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say they need to stand down?” The president shrugged his left shoulder. “Sure, I’m willing to do that. But I would say almost everything I see is from the left wing, not from the right wing.” Trump continued to say words, and to say nothing. “I’m willing to do anything. I want to see peace.” Wallace pressed the question. “Well, then, do it, sir.” Former Vice President Joe Biden jumped in. “Say it. Do it. Say it.” For what seemed like the first time during last night’s debate, Trump paused. “What do you want to call them?” Trump gestured at Wallace. “Give me a name, give me a name.” White supremacists, Wallace answered. “The Proud Boys,” Biden added, referring to the far-right group of self-described “Western chauvinists” who often engage in armed violence at protests. “Proud Boys, stand back, and stand by,” Trump said. America has seen this before. It happened when Trump said there were “some very fine people on both sides” of the white-supremacist march in Charlottesville, Virginia. It happened when he pretended not to know who David Duke is, and that the former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard had endorsed his presidential bid. In moments of direct confrontation, Trump refuses to state clearly that he condemns white supremacy. White nationalists notice, and remember.

No Steve, Trump knows that he needs those far-right-hate groups because they are apart of his BASE.
If this was YOU, wouldn't you keep your lips close too Steve?

You've been saying the same thing for 4 years now. You'll never change Ron, no matter what Trump says or doesn't say. If the Proud Boys help him win that will be just fine.

When you get back, I 'm sure you should have the answer to this question: "If this was YOU, wouldn't you keep your lips close too Steve? "
And this one too: "Trump told the Proud Boys to Stand Back and Stand By: What do you think Trump meant when he told The Proud Boys to " Stand By, Steve? "

1. "If this was YOU, wouldn't you keep your lips close too Steve? "
2. And this one too: "Trump told the Proud Boys to Stand Back and Stand By: What do you think Trump meant when he told The Proud Boys to " Stand By, Steve? "
YOUR WORDS: What the President is saying is you can shove it I agree 100% I do feel sorry for your racist ass.

"Stand back and stand by" means exactly the same thing as "stand down". It sounds more respectful and the Proud Boys deserve your respet Ron. Trump was brought up better than you.

Portland Black Lives Matter Monsters Cheer and Celebrate Murder of Patriot Prayer Member (VIDEO)
By Cassandra Fairbanks
Published August 30, 2020 at 2:04am
For a while, rumors were circulating online that a rioter had been killed by a supporter of President Donald Trump, but there was a big celebration when they found out it was actually the other way around.
“Everybody, I just got word. The person who died was a Patriot Prayer person,” the Black Lives Matter leader tells the excited crowd. “He was a f***ing Nazi. Our community held its own and took out the trash. I’m not going to shed any tears over a Nazi dying!”

What is the matter Steve, YOU don't know what is your meaning to the words you use to describe The PROUD BOYS"?
What is the term you used?.... "They detest political correctness?"

"They" is a pronoun, "detest" is a verb, "political" is an adjective, "correctness" is a noun, formed from the adjective "correct". Together, "political correctness" is a noun phrase.

I did not ask you for a break down of each individual, now what you have not done YET was explain what you mean by this term: "They detest political correctness?"

I can't think of a synonym for "political correctness". "Wokeness" maybe? Would that be close enough?

It's unnecessary. But since you're being a pain-in-the-ass I'll try. We think of politically correct persons as pussies, basically. Whiners and complainers and cowardly pansies. They make us want to spew.
