I live in Mississippi and have never seen or been approached to take part or join any type of "white" group. In The World according to Garp...
I'll admit, that should have been the easiest "Sure I condemn white supremacy response" ever. I would have also added "I condemn racial supremacy of any kind." comment.
WALLACE: But are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups --
TRUMP: Sure.
WALLACE: -- and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities, as we saw in Kenosha and as we've seen in Portland?
TRUMP: Sure, I'm willing to do that but --
WALLACE: Are you prepared to specifically --
BIDEN: Then do it.
WALLACE: Well, go ahead, sir.
TRUMP: I would say -- I would say almost everything I see is from the left wing, not from the right wing.
WALLACE: So what are you -- what are you --
TRUMP: If you look --
WALLACE: What are you saying?
TRUMP: I'm -- I'm willing to do anything. I want to see peace.
WALLACE: Well, then do it, sir.
BIDEN: Say it. Do it. Say it.
TRUMP: Do you want to call them -- what do you want to call them? Give me a name. Give me a name, go ahead.
WALLACE: White supremacists and --
BIDEN: White supremacists --
(CROSSTALK)
TRUMP: Well, who would like me condemn?
WALLACE: White supremacists (ph) and right (ph) --
(CROSSTALK)
TRUMP: Who?
WALLACE: -- militia.
TRUMP: Proud Boys, stand by 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.
How many times is trump allowed to be asked about white supremacy and condemn white supremacy before it becomes silly to keep asking him?trump was served a slam dunk and he totally blew it.
everyone can see how easy it would have been in the moment to say exactly what you figured out on your own, "i condemn racial supremacy of any kind."
instead trump chose to take the low road because he's afraid of alienating a segment of his voters who privately support white supremacy.
How many times is trump allowed to be asked about white supremacy and condemn white supremacy before it becomes silly to keep asking him?it's a really tough spot to take 5 seconds when you have the ear of the nation to simply say "i condemn white supremacy."

i agree 100% with everything you just said.If he's sick of answering the same question over and over again, why not add that in to the message.
"As i've said many times on camera before - i condemn white supremacy. stop asking old questions that i've already publicly answered. i condemn white supremacy - let this be the end of it."
it was so easy for him to say something meaningful when the spotlight was on him in that moment. he blew it.

if these people are genuinely interested in his thoughts on this topic they sure aren’t putting in any effort to actually find the truth about it.it was soft ball question during a debate that he should have slammed out of the park.
you're annoyed because the media has asked him that question before. ok - there were a number of other questions during the debate that both candidates have spent time answering at some point before.
most americans don't bother watching every single trump or biden interview. some people in the debate audience have never actually heard trump condemn white supremacy. they're not even aware he was asked it before. he blew it.
"i condemn all white supremacy groups - including the proud boys"
there are more black people in the proud boys than antifa...what on earth are you talking about?"i condemn all white supremacy groups - including the proud boys"
You just proved my point.
You also have yet to condemn all pedophiles, including yourself.
