The perfect rebuttal to anyone you see on Facebook and Twitter that mindlessly and ignorantly says Trump does not condemn racism or White supremacy, yadda yadda, etc. Show this video to every race-baiting Trump hater out there. But most importantly show it to the independents who are confused about Trump and those intellectuals that have a sick case of confirmation bias and use selective reasoning to stay in denial. ---- From FactCheck.org -- Former Vice President Joe Biden wrongly claimed President Donald Trump has “yet once to condemn white supremacy, the neo-Nazis.” Trump drew criticism for his condemnation of “hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides” after a rally organized by a white nationalist in Charlottesville in 2017, and for saying there were “very fine people on both sides.” But, contrary to Biden’s claim, the president twice specifically condemned white supremacists and neo-Nazis, and he has repeated that condemnation since.-- https://www.factcheck.org/2020/02/trump-has-condemned-white-supremacists/
President Donald Trump announced details of his “Platinum Plan” for African-Americans Friday, which would include increasing capital in black communities by $500 billion, designate the KKK and Antifa as terrorist organizations, and making lynching a national hate crime.
Trump unveiled his plan, which would also make Juneteenth a national holiday, at the Black Economic Empowerment Conference in Atlanta. Trump drew criticism for his condemnation of “hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides” after a rally organized by a white nationalist in Charlottesville in 2017, and for saying there were “very fine people on both sides.” But, contrary to Biden’s claim, the president twice specifically condemned white supremacists and neo-Nazis, and he has repeated that condemnation since.
Trump has said his “very fine people” comment referred not to white supremacists and neo-Nazis but to “people that went because they felt very strongly about the monument to Robert E. Lee — a great general, whether you like it or not.” Some have argued that explanation doesn’t hold up, because Trump referred in that statement to a protest “the night before” when — it was widely reported — white nationalists burned tiki torches and chanted anti-Semitic and white nationalist slogans. We’ll leave it to readers to make up their minds on Trump’s remarks, but Biden’s comment that Trump has “yet once to condemn white supremacy” is not accurate.
The Charlottesville rally turned violent, and one person, Heather Heyer, was killed and many others injured, when a man with a history of making racist comments plowed his car into a group of counterprotesters.
The day of that incident Trump said, “We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence, on many sides. On many sides.” Trump said he had spoken to Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, and “we agreed that the hate and the division must stop, and must stop right now.

00:00Have you ever heard this president say one negative thing about white supremacists?
00:05Have you ever heard it?
00:06I totally disavow the Klu Klux Klan.
00:10I totally disavow David Duke.
00:13You wouldn't even condemn David Duke for God's sake.
00:16Well, you've got David Duke just joined.
00:18A bigot, a racist, a problem.
00:20I mean, this is not exactly the people you want in your party.
00:22I got back in this race because what happened in Charlottesville.
00:26People coming out of the woods carrying torches, their veins bulging.
00:30And a young woman gets killed resisting the hate and violence.
00:34And the president gets asked to come in.
00:36And what's he say?
00:37He says they're very fine people on both sides.
00:41And you had some very bad people in that group.
00:43But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides.
00:49And I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists,
00:53because they should be condemned totally.
00:55Are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups?
01:05Neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.
01:10Racism is evil, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists.
01:16Condemn the evil of anti-Semitism and hate.
01:20Our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy.
01:26Be no tolerance for anti-Semitism in America
01:29or for any form of religious or racial hatred or prejudice.
01:36Must never ignore the vile poison of anti-Semitism
01:41or those who spread its venomous creed.
01:44How many times do I have to reject?
01:46I've rejected David Duke.
01:50I've rejected the KKK, the Ku Klux Klan.
01:54From the time I'm five years old, I rejected them.
01:57David Duke is saying to his supporters and followers,
01:59vote for Donald Trump.
02:00White supremacists are saying, do you want those votes?
02:03No, I don't want them, and I don't want him to say it.
02:05I don't like any group of hate.
02:08Hate groups are not for me.
02:10You've got David Duke just now, a bigot, a racist, a problem.
02:15David Duke endorsement of, I disavow, okay?
02:18Let me be clear again.
02:19I condemn the KKK.
02:21I condemn all white supremacists.
02:24A Trump campaign told CBS News, this publication is repulsive
02:28and their views do not represent the tens of millions
02:31of Americans who are uniting behind our campaign.
02:34I'm not looking for QDA David Duke.
02:37When we looked at it and looked at the question,
02:39I disavow David Duke, so I disavow David Duke
02:41all weekend long on Facebook, on Twitter,
02:44and obviously it's never enough.
02:46I totally disavow the Klu Klux Klan.
02:50I totally disavow David Duke.
02:52Klu Klux Klan, which obviously I'm going to disavow.
02:55Do you want white supremacists to vote for you?
02:58No, I don't, not at all.
03:00How many times do I have to reject?
03:08Love for America requires love for all of its people.
03:15When we open our hearts to patriotism,
03:18there is no room for prejudice, no place for bigotry,
03:23and no tolerance for hate.
03:26I know personally about his feelings towards Haiti
03:28and towards Central America,
03:29because when I was not a candidate for president
03:32and he wasn't a candidate for president,
03:34I went down there on a medical mission trip.
03:36I did about 200 cataract surgeries
03:38with a group of surgeons in Haiti
03:39and the same in Central America.
03:41And when we asked Donald J. Trump as a private citizen
03:44to support those trips,
03:45he was a large financial backer of both medical mission trips.
03:49Well, I was watching the news
03:50and it became a big story in the news.
03:53And I watched a man walk by this girl
03:56who was in serious distress like nothing was going on.
03:58And then I watched somebody else walk by
04:01like absolutely nothing was wrong
04:03or nothing was happening.
04:05And then I saw Darnell stop his bus
04:07loaded up with children and people
04:10and so beautifully walk over and so calmly
04:14and convince this woman who was in serious trouble
04:17to get off the bridge.
04:19I thought it was so beautiful to see.
04:21I think he's a great guy.
04:23I think he has an amazing heart.
04:25And I said that man should be rewarded.
04:27So Donald Trump sent out this tweet saying,
04:30I'm going to send him $10,000.
04:32He deserves it.
04:33I don't know if Darnell needs money.
04:35I hope he doesn't need money,
04:36but he should be rewarded for what he did.
04:39And frankly, I'm very honored to help him out.
04:42In a split-second decision,
04:44Autry jumped to rescue a stranger
04:46who had fallen onto subway tracks,
04:49pinned him into a narrow gap between the rails
04:51as the train barreled over them
04:53with only inches to spare.
04:55This is a brave man.
04:56So congratulations.
04:58Donald Trump gave him $10,000.
05:01This will be part of my life.
05:03Our daughter's college.
05:05I've had the honor and privilege
05:07to work with then-candidate, now-president Trump
05:10and to observe him behind the scenes
05:12and have a number of personal conversations with him.
05:15And people ask me why do I defend him so vociferously?
05:18And I say it's easy for me to do because I know him.
05:21And he's shown me his heart
05:23and I know he has a heart for all Americans.
05:26And I will say this.
05:28This administration has taken a lot of people by surprise.
05:30It's going to surprise you guys even more
05:31because this is probably
05:33the most proactive administration
05:36regarding urban America and the faith-based community
05:38in my lifetime.
05:40And I'll be 60 years old in December.
05:42But when I think back on,
05:44I mean, I use good hair dye.
05:45And I've got a great makeup artist.
05:49But to be honest,
05:51this is probably going to be the,
05:53and I'm going to say this at this table,
05:54the most pro-black president
05:56that we've had in our lifetime
05:58because, and I try to, you know,
06:00analyze the people that I encounter.
06:02This president actually wants to prove
06:05something to our community,
06:07our faith-based community and our ethnic community.
06:10The last president didn't feel like he had to.
06:12He felt like he didn't have to prove.
06:13He got a pass.
06:14This president is,
06:15this administration is probably going to be more proactive
06:18regarding urban revitalization
06:20and prison reform than any president in your lifetime.
06:23If we work together, give him a chance.
06:25Don't pay any attention to these guys back here.
06:27And I promise you,
06:30we will do something that we will,
06:33this administration will continue to make history.
06:36It's going to be a lot of positive change.
06:38Great things are on the horizon.
06:39I promise you.
06:40I do want to express thanks to you,
06:44Donald Trump, for being with us tonight.
06:47We need your building skills,
06:51your gusto,
06:56your rent packets for people on Wall Street
07:00who represent diversity.
07:02And we thank you for coming tonight.
07:05Let's give Donald Trump a big hand.
07:07Applause
07:12In terms of reaching out and being inclusive,
07:15he's done that too.
07:17And creative, for many people,
07:19a comfort zone when I ran for the presidency
07:22in 84 and 88.
07:24And many others thought it was either laughable
07:27or something to avoid.
07:28He came to our business meeting
07:31here in New York
07:33because he has this sense of the curious
07:36and a will to risk to make things better.
07:39And so aside from all of his style
07:43and his pizzazz,
07:47he's a serious person
07:49who's an effective builder of building
07:51for the builder of people.
07:52Last year he was a part of our workshop,
07:55of our panel workshop
07:57on what are the challenges and opportunities.
08:00And so this, a year later,
08:02Donald Trump, for a few minutes,
08:04challenges and opportunities
08:07to embrace the underserved communities.
08:10Donald Trump.
08:11Applause
08:16A large percentage of the people,
08:18and especially in construction,
08:20that are building these great jobs
08:22are black and minorities.
08:24And I'm very proud of it.
08:25We have close to 25%,
08:27and I think the number's going up.
08:29And they do a great job.
08:31There are no better builders
08:32than we have in New York.
08:33And a big percentage of that
08:35is black and minority folks.
08:37So I just want to thank everybody in the room
08:39for being here.
08:40You have repeatedly criticized the vice president
08:43for not specifically calling out Antifa
08:46and other left-wing extremist groups.
08:48But are you willing tonight
08:50to condemn white supremacists
08:52and militia groups
08:54and to say that they need to stand down
08:57and not add to the violence
08:59in a number of these cities,
09:00as we saw in Kenosha
09:02and as we've seen in Portland?
09:03Sure, I'm willing to do that.
09:04Are you prepared to specifically...
09:05Do it.
09:06Go ahead, sir.
09:07I would say almost everything I see
09:09is from the left wing,
09:10not from the right wing.
09:11So what are you saying?
09:12I'm willing to do anything.
09:14I want to see peace.
09:15Then do it, sir.
09:16Say it. Do it. Say it.
09:17Do you want to call them...
09:19What do you want to call them?
09:20Give me a name. Give me a name.
09:21White supremacists and white militias.
09:22Who would you like me to condemn?
