"With one dead and 19 others injured in Charlottesville, Virginia, President Donald Trump has responded to his first domestic crisis with the cowardice of the bully he has always been. Instead of standing up to the violent white nationalists who terrorized a peaceful city, he made them morally equal to those who allied against the hate."

Indeed. Anyone who still supports this coward is morally repugnant.

Watch this video! You'll see, in just over a minute, real leadership and total clarity from the Mayor of Charlottesville. Trump revealed as morally bankrupt, a pitiful failure as a leader.

Somewhere, in some D.C. dive bar, Bannon cries tears of joy into his 8th Rob Roy of the day. This is his dream, and we're living in it.

Fear/hate is what got him elected.

Yet, compared to Trump himself, they're all mild in comparison.

Trump isn't standing up to this group of racists because he is just as racist as they are.
