'It should be super-easy to condemn white supremacists,' H.R. McMaster said.

's national security adviser, warned that the president's failure to condemn white supremacists emboldens these extremist groups.

During the first presidential debate on Tuesday evening, the president was asked by moderator Chris Wallace to make that condemnation. Instead, he insisted that far-left demonstrators present a greater threat and said the far-right extremist group the Proud Boys should"stand back and stand by." Although the president and White House press secretary later tried to clarify the remarks and pushed back against criticism, Trump has still not denounced white supremacists.

"It should be super-easy to condemn white supremacists, right?" McMaster told MSNBC on Thursday while discussing the president's comments."These extremists really gain traction, right, and they draw more people in because there's a perception that they're legitimate and not a fringe, hate-filled movement."National security adviser H.R. McMaster sits behind President Donald Trump as he holds a Cabinet meeting on December 20, 2017.

Truth.

Now that Trump has taken a firm stand with the Poor Boys, their recruitment and donations are going way up. What next for the Commander in Chief ?

How many times do you have to condem someone before people say you have condemned them

McMaster, you're definitely in the same league as Sleepy senile Joe (how old are you). President Trump has denounced them many many times, why does he keep being asked the same question. Why aren't people asking about Joe Biden's racist past, present and future?

So Trump condemning them would stop them? Why doesn’t anyone challenge these idiots when they make these stupid comments.

Who did Richard Spencer endorse again Oh that’s right, JOE BIDEN!!!

Really here is a video of him condemning it multiple times over the years

This is more proof why we must elect PresidentTrump for FourMoreYears they are so desperate trying way too hard even within the party. This guy knows that Trump has condemned them many many times so why come with the pile on MAGA

No one approves of any supremacy white, Blum antics etc.

Wow, a national security advisor is a liar. I'm shocked.

why is the IMPOTUS45 firing the best people?

Another ridiculous article from the dark side media.

Define a 'white supremacist' and who is one in the public sphere and why?

‘Appalling,’ ‘dangerous’: Ex-Trump officials react to Trump debate showingTwo former top Trump officials, Olivia Troye and Elizabeth Neumann, are now spending the weeks before the election warning voters about the President. “I think the President showed the nation exactly who he is last night. I’m just glad he put it on display to see what I’ve been watching behind closed doors in briefings,” says Troye. I do believe just as Trump does, that the Democrats are using the coronavirus as a political weapon to win an election. Do you really think Joe Biden cares if anyone dies from Covid? He said nothing at 50 thou, nothing at 100thou, but now the election is here he’s concerned!

The Latest: Trump sidesteps white supremacist condemnationThe presidential candidates are sparring over President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus crisis. Biden charged that Trump “has no plan,” while Trump offered a number of erroneous claims, charging falsely that Biden opposed shutting down travel to China. Should I wait long for AP to defend Trump? Biden did oppose closing to China. What? Biden called him xenophobic! Retract that bullshit. Fucking fake news bro. Unreal.
