This twitter heavy APR tries to capture the stunned outrage yesterday during and after Donald Trump’s bizarre press conference defending the Nazis in Charlottesville.
It’s blindingly clear Donald Trump is a racist and white supremacist. Journalists can’t pretend otherwise now. Neither can CEO’s.
So what’s the Republican party going to do?
Politico:
GOP chairmen resist hearings on white supremacy
WaPo:
But there were no chants about Gen. Lee on Friday night, when the far-right marchers carried their torches through the University of Virginia campus. The chants were about Jews and others who the marchers blame for their diminished role in American society.
What follows is good. This is important. This is not enough. What are you going to do about it, Republicans? The press and the GOP are both wrestling with the idea that Trump himself is a white supremacist who apologizes for Nazis. A year too late.

Gentlemen, if you don’t condemn Trump by name, you are are being morally ambiguous.
So resign. Don’t whine to the press about it.
Important that some Fox watchers will see this. Yeah, they’re unhappy. But they heard it.
