No good deed goes unpunished.
Following the horrific events in Charlottesville, President Trump released follow-up statements to his Saturday remarks, which read as follows:
Charlottesville and Trump’s Previous Statements
On Saturday, Nazis, KKK members, and other white supremacists joined forces in Charlottesville, Virginia. These people carried lit torches, screamed expletives at LGBT people, and fought with AntiFa and Black Lives Matter folks. When the President learned of such, he released a public statement condemning ALL forms of racism and bigotry.
However, this was not enough for the mainstream media and others. Following the President’s remarks, they bashed him for not being specific enough. Mr. Trump’s critics wanted to hear him use the words “Nazis,” “KKK members,” and “white supremacists.” The President condemned these exact groups mere hours ago and liberals are still complaining.
Trump Critics Will Never Be Satisfied
What President Trump says or does not say really is immaterial, at this point. When he criticized all hate groups as a whole, his critics whined. When he specifically called out “Nazis,” “KKK members,” and “white supremacists” by name, as requested, it still was not enough. As the old saying goes, you cannot please everyone.
