<\/p>\nIgnoring His Record, Trump Condemns Racism and Violence Ahead of D.C. White Supremacist Rally<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n
Ignoring his own record, Donald Trump denounced racism on Saturday a day ahead of a \u2018Unite the Right\u2019 white supremacist and neo-Nazi rally in Washington D.C.<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n Tweeted Trump: \u201cThe riots in Charlottesville a year ago resulted in senseless death and division. We must come together as a nation. I condemn all types of racism and acts of violence. Peace to ALL Americans!\u201d<\/p>\n The riots in Charlottesville a year ago resulted in senseless death and division. We must come together as a nation. I condemn all types of racism and acts of violence. Peace to ALL Americans!<\/p>\n \u2014 Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 11, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Trump\u2019s tweet did not impress\u00a0CNN New Day<\/em> weekend host Victor Blackwell: \u201cWe should put this into context as to who is sending this out.\u00a0This from the president who said that all\u00a0Haitians have AIDS. This from the president who said that Nigerians will never\u00a0\u2018go back to their huts\u2019\u00a0when they come and see America.\u00a0This from the president who said that African countries are sh*tholes\u2026So when you see the president here talking about he \u2018condemns all types of racism,\u2019 remember his record.\u201d<\/p>\n “Remember his record”: CNN’s Victor Blackwell reacts to President Trump’s latest tweet, after Trump says he condemns “all types of racism” pic.twitter.com\/bYpVUIxg9Q<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 New Day (@NewDay) August 11, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n CNN\u2019s Chris Cuomo said this last night:<\/p>\n \u201cSo many protesting players, white and black, have said this isn\u2019t about disrespecting the flag. He knows<\/em> that.\u00a0He doesn\u2019t seem to care. Why? This works with a part of his base\u2026So it\u2019s OK if it divides people and stokes prejudices. That\u2019s leadership? That\u2019s winning?\u00a0This is like jingoism<\/em> \u2013 patriotism that\u2019s really about targeting a minority. In this case, mostly black players\u2026So here\u2019s my argument.\u00a0We only know what you show. If you are not a racist, then attack the racists instead of targeting mostly black protesters and suggesting they are dumb.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post Ignoring His Record, Trump Condemns Racism and Violence Ahead of D.C.
