Peruse the reactions from a variety of political leaders to Trump's Charlottesville equivocation. The only guy who had anything good to say was David Duke.

Trump is employing the reverse Godwin's Law. The only people he won't criticize are Nazis (and Putin, of course).

Yeah, GOP leadership doing collective face-palming yet again. They know the ass is an incompetent fool, and embarrasses them daily. When will they finally get the guts to dump the idiot? Pencil would be a breeze for them.

I am at a loss why this scumbag is still in office. There must be a large river of dollars bills flowing behind the scenes I reckon. Other than Agent Orange's money laundering operation of course.

The RNC responds to Trump's unhinged tirade:

RNC spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany wrote in a tweet that the party supports what she called the president's "message of love and inclusiveness."

You can't make this shit up.

Just watched Trump's video in article. The Donald is losing his composure. In his response he tried to point out that all the people protesting the statue's removal weren't Nazis or white supremacists. I wonder if he's finally going to denounce the WSM sometime soon. If not his presidency is in big trouble. FWIW, I don't think such a denouncement will hurt his numbers, it may even help them.

Um, he was a real President, among the best, and certainly didn't embarrass his own party, at all. Just the opposite, in fact.
