ORIGINAL: jlf1961 I am not now, nor ever been a democrat. I wouldn't admit to it if I were you either Regardless, you are still 100% blind-as-a-bat howler You are still failing to see the truth, President Trump did not dispute David Duke's comments, even though he had many chances to do so. The only people who were involved in violence in Charlottesville was when a white supremacist plowed his car into counter protestors, an act that when Muslims have done it in other countries, YOUR favorite president condemns as an act of terror. He has called it an act of violence, at first blaming both sides, even though it was a white supremacist who actually killed someone and injured 19 others, in what Sessions is calling a hate crime and possible act of domestic terror, but your president has refused to call it anything in terms he has used to describe similar attacks in other countries. So, tell me, why is it when a Muslim plows a car into a crowd of people its an act of terrorism, but when some white guy in Virginia does it, it is just an act of violence according to President Trump? Why is it last month he called out and condemned street gangs with Latin American roots by name but refused for 3 days to condemn Neo Nazi's and the KKK? And it is not just me who is asking those questions. Major corporate leaders have bailed on him, forcing him to disband his Strategy & Policy Forum and the Manufacturing Council, and all with statements like: quote:
JP Morgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon, a member of the Strategy & Policy Forum, told employees in a note on Wednesday that his group decided to disband following Trump's news conference on Tuesday, in which he appeared to show sympathy for some of the people who marched alongside the neo-Nazis and white supremacists in Charlottesville. “Constructive economic and regulatory policies are not enough and will not matter if we do not address the divisions in our country,” Dimon wrote his employees. “It is a leader’s role, in business or government, to bring people together, not tear them apart. quote:
Earlier Wednesday, the chief executives of Campbell Soup and the conglomerate 3M resigned from the manufacturing council. “Racism and murder are unequivocally reprehensible and are not morally equivalent to anything else that happened in Charlottesville,” Campbell Soup chief executive Denise Morrison said. “I believe the president should have been — and still needs to be — unambiguous on that point.” quote:
General Electric chairman Jeff Immelt, who was also on the manufacturing advisory group, made a similar argument, saying in a statement that he had decided to resign after finding Trump's comments on Tuesday “deeply troubling.” Of course one of FOX news' new hosts pretty much blasted President Trump here or here But, I guess when members of his own party asks questions like these, it means they are what? Traitors to the cause? Closet liberals? or just concerned people asking the important question. Why is plowing a car into a group of people by a Muslim an act of terror, but when it is a white guy in the states, it is an act of violence? Defend that Bosco, because very few republicans can defend it.
