The hashtag “#TrumpIsARacist” was also trending on Twitter Wednesday.
“Joe Biden just clearly and concisely denounced white supremacy. Why is it so easy for Joe and so hard for @realDonaldTrump?” one user wrote.
“Donald Trump has made the Proud Boys a household name. He’s the one killing suburbia….and cities, countrysides,” another user wrote.
During the debate, replete with bitter exchanges and numerous interruptions as moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News struggled to control the chaos, Trump failed to condemn white supremacy and told the Proud Boys group, a far-right, neo-fascist organization, to “stand back and stand by.”
“The Proud Boys,” Trump said during the debate, “stand back and stand by. But I’ll tell you what, I’ll tell you what: somebody’s got to do something about Antifa and the left, because this is not a right-wing problem.”
Trump has faced widespread backlash, including from fellow Republicans, for refusing to condemn white supremacy in Tuesday’s debate. However, when questioned by reporters on the matter on Wednesday, Trump clarified that he was unfamiliar with the Proud Boys, and that the group should “stand down and let law enforcement do their work.”
On Wednesday, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said that “of course” Trump should have clearly condemned white supremacy, CBS News reported. Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) also told reporters Wednesday he was “hoping for more clarity” from Trump on the topic of race.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out! Don’t even think of creeping back in once the Bill of Rights is once again enforced as the Supreme Law either. A lot of people, including many “celebrities” proclaimed they would leave America if Trump got (s)elected in 2016, yet, they are still here.
Robert De Niro promised that, the FKG commie bitch stayed, then his wife divorced him. Cost his traitor ass huge.
Hope the MTHRFKR slips on a banana peel..
Go.
But you may actually do better in Mexico. And they could use more wimpy a$$ hats. Canada already has plenty.
