How Obama Handled An Attack By A Racial Nationalist
"After calling out the hatred and violence from “many sides” on Saturday, Trump finally did what the media demanded and condemned white nationalists and other hate groups by name.
Yet, that wasn’t good enough for the chattering class, and the new denunciation is not winning the president any goodwill.
While it’s certainly true the president could have articulated a better message over the weekend, his administration is taking a very hard line on the Charlottesville violence. The Department of Justice is launching a civil rights investigation into the matter and Attorney General Jeff Sessions described the car attack that left one woman dead as domestic terror.
But the president continues to be barraged with (false) accusations that he’s basically letting white nationalists get away with murder..."
Interesting........ Let's compare this to how Obama handled an incident involving a deadly attack my a racial nationalist:
"In July of 2016, an avowed black nationalist murdered five police officers during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Dallas, Texas. The act of violence was well-planned and was motivated entirely by the hate-filled ideology of the shooter, Micah Xavier Johnson.
With several officers dead by the hand of a committed black nationalist, one might think the Obama administration may have considered the assassinations domestic terror and launched an investigation into groups associated with this ideology.
Not at all.
Barack Obama condemned the shootings, but he did not call out or even allude to Johnson’s hateful views. He did, however, blame “powerful weapons” for the violence."
Lots of hypocrisy there but no condemnation of the President for refusing to call out violent black nationalists or racial hatred.
