Hollywood slams Trump's refusal to condemn white supremacists: 'Turn off his mic'

Yara Shahidi, Olivia Wilde, Ava DuVernay, Storm Reid, Elizabeth Banks, Kumail Nanjiani, Chance the Rapper and many other celebrities expressed their outrage on Twitter after moderator Chris Wallace asked Trump to denounce white supremacists. Trump instead told a far-right hate group, the Proud Boys,“Here’s the big takeaway from the debate: Trump was asked to condemn white supremacists, and not only did he refuse to do so, he told them to ‘stand back and stand by,’” actor Nanjiani tweeted.

“He’s refusing to tell racists to stand down and blames an ideology for all the crime and murders,” wrote “Euphoria” actress Reid. “THIS is why we have to vote him out. We cannot have him in office for another 4 years.”Trump was asked to condemn white supremacists, and not only did he refuse to do so, he told them to “stand back and stand by.”

I wish I had a subscription to your Newspaper so I could CANCEL IT!!!! .... You are a BIG part of the problem in America!! .... Keep dividing us L.A. Times. Good job

Why not just say clearly that he condemn them all?. Easy to do. Why not?

For you in the back that can’t get thru the firwall. He did. Wallace just wouldn’t stfu. Clickbait.

If BLM can congregate and protest then surely the proud boys should be able to, right

I’m black and I know for a fact that he didn’t encourage white supremacy haha. Matter of fact, no such thing even exists. Why would he denounce people who obviously support him? That’s career suicide haha. The proud boys should be able to exercise their rights as Americans 🤷🏿‍♂️

Goofy. You mean the elitist, white supremacists in Hollywood? Yeah, he already condemned them.

Trun off his mic and drop a sound proof glass box round him so he can scream whatever he want till Biden finish his answers... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Interesting. The media didn't hear Trump here say sure twice to condemning right wing groups. In fact they didn't hear him staunchly condemn them following the Charlottesville tragedy. See doesn't matter how solidly he speaks out. They don't hear it to damage him politically ...

G WIZ

Gotta be careful with just when you want to 'turn off his mic.' -He's talking over someone else when it's not his turn? OK --He's saying something we don't like or not saying something we think he should say? No Bueno.

A little update would now be in order, LAT's. Trump's first remarks since last night:

How many times does realDonaldTrump have to denounce this to Chris Wallace and the world? FoxNewsSunday must have forgot🙄

Trump missed a chance to challenge Biden here & blew it. Biden continues to say the reason he entered the race was because Trump did not condemn the right-wing protesters in Charlottesville. That's blatantly false-he staunchly did just that. The LAT's continues to lie about it

How many times does Trump have to denounce the same thing?

From the transcript:

Hollywood’s opinions are like taking a dumb. Only shit comes out.

Why isn’t Biden asked to denounce white supremacy when he has a long history of racist remarks? Maybe the biased media doesn’t want to remind us.

The Antifa response is good, but the strongest response, when one is enjoined to denounce 'white supremacy' is to challenge the interrogator to denounce 'BLM and other black supremacist' movements.

Hollywood? How about America as we all have been working with mute buttons on a daily basis for months... PandeMIC.

Exactly. Or muzzle this barking dog.

Keep it on.

paulacramon Distortion. Who is sponsoring and supporting blm riots and violence? Democrats, not white supremacists... this is ridiculous.

He’ll probably go down with his daddy, is scared as $!+ and can’t logically come up with anything better (even lies) to defend against this. I mean he could ask his dad to just release the tax returns to prove it’s all fake, so why not?
