Why does our president have to hesitate to condemn white supremacy
Because he thinks some of them are good people
Answering your own question. Nice.
But your answer flied in the face of the posted transcripts, where he clearly condemned white supremacy, over and over again, even in his initial statement.
AND you are misquoting him. The bit you quote, he specifically stated that he was NOT referring to white supremacists.
"And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally."
You are quoting Trump out of context
To actually put Trump in context, you have to cover all sides of the issue
In Charlottesville, Trump was initially dead silent as the racists marched. Then, once it became violent, he condemned both sides
Once he was criticized for not condemning racism, he finally issued the statement you quoted
He was "Silent" because the march of a few white supremacists is not news.
When violence erupted, he condemned the violent people on both sides.
When attacked for not specifically condemning the white supremacists, he specifically condemned the white supremacists.
How does that context change anything from my post?
Especially as how to you purposefully MIS quoted him?
A few?
Correct. Note the close in photography, designed to give the feel of a large crowd.
If it was really a large crowd, you would seem a picture more like this.
