    For years Trump would attack President Obama for refusing to use the term "Islamic terrorists" or Islamic extremists" or "Islamist terrorism".

    And to some extent, he may have been right.

    But now so far Trump REFUSES to call out the Nazis, Neo-Nazis, and White Supremacists who marched through Charlottesville VA chanting Nazi slogans, and today engaged in deadly violence against counter-protestors.


    If Trump wants to be seen as a leader of the WHOLE nation, and not just his base, he need to condemn the vile bigots who started all of this.....BY NAME.

    Sure, he should also condemn any extreme Left groups that showed up looking for violence, but this started with a torchlit Nazi march through a college campus.

    Mr. President - we must call evil by its name. These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism. https://twitter.com/sencorygardner/status/896465229181210624 …

    Praying for those hurt & killed today in Charlottesville. This is nothing short of domestic terrorism & should be named as such.

    Trump better call out these bigots by name, or he has proven himself to be a liar and a hyppcrite.

    he attacked Obama relentlessly for never calling out Islamist extremism and Islamist terrorism.

    now its Trump's turn

    Then he should also call out the hateful left and identify them too. For the left, denouncing the violence isn't enough, one has to be PC about it and consult the left which PC words to use. After all, they are now the thought police.

    The comparison to Obama is entirely out of context. Obama was trying to avoid alienating our Muslim friends and allies.

    Trump refuses to definitively denounce modern Nazism.

    I'll give you one guess why.

    He doesn't want to alienate his base.

    SILENCE= ACCEPTANCE.

    Trump's refusal to condemn the Nazis and KKK by name only means two things:

    1. He is too cowardly to condemn folks that he dislikes but he knows support him.

    or

    2. He supports White Nationalism.

    Anti-racist protesters shared a “beautiful” moment together before terror struck when a car plowed into the massive crowd of people demonstrating against a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. One person died and 19 others were injured in the incident.

    Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer announced the death on Twitter, hours after the governor declared a state of emergency. Hospital officials confirmed to The Associated Press the number of casualties. Fifteen other injuries were reported related to the rally, the City of Charlottesville said.

    The victim who died was a 32-year-old female, Chief Al Thomas of the Charlottesville Police Department said at a news conference.

    Following a morning of clashes, the white supremacists at the rally and counter-protesters began to clear out Saturday afternoon after police threatened arrests. Hundreds of counter-protesters had met together to oppose the white supremacist gathering, marching in solidarity with marginalized groups, chanting “Black Lives Matter!” among other slogans.

    Trump can not afford to call these people out. They represent a large percentage of his dwindling base of supporters...

    Well, seeing how you apply such a double standard about violence who can take you seriously. The group, whether you like them or not, had a lawful permit to be there and were peaceful. Antifa and BLM had no permit to march and initiated violence against the lawful marchers with mace and throwing rocks. Now you want to label all of the lawful marchers because of one guy in a car but ignore left wing violence.

    Why would he? The far right lunatics are his base . I am sure if a Muslim drove through a crowd he will be quick to say Islamic terrorist .I am embarrassed as a republican to have this buffoon as commander and chief .
