The White House has finally out out a statement condemning the KKK, white supremacists, et al. Not from Trump, from unnamed "spokesperson."

Editing to add a link to an LBN topic on an article in The Hill about the statement:

From that article:

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/346389-white-house-defends-trumps-charlottesville-statement

"The President said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry, and hatred," the White House said in a statement.

"Of course that includes white supremacists, KKK Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups," a spokesperson added.

"He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together."

11. Yep, that's why I suspect she is the "unnamed spokesperson."

Her tweets aren't official. This must come directly from trump himself.

9. Too little, too late, too vague.

[NurseJackie]

10. Much too little. Far too late. And...

... it wasn't even from Trump. Just one of his "clean-up" crew. And even then, they failed.

15. Weasel words

Stop your pandering to hate groups, Trump

[SWBTATTReg]

16. and tRUMP bitches about Anonymous sources...

[Danmel]

17. More bullshit from herr trump

It's too late. Had he genuinely been outraged, he would have gone out on Friday night or the first thing on Saturday morning and condemned the neo-Nazi torch lit march at UVA. Fake indignation at this point is just a wink-wink, nudge-nudge to the basest base this country has ever seen.
Friday night klansmen without hoods chanted "blood and soil" and our "President" was silent. Had Heather Heyer not been killed, I doubt he would have said anything. Someone forced him to say something and that's what he said. Res Ipsa Loquitor. The thing speaks for itself.
