Former KKK leader David Duke was none too pleased that President Donald Trump on Monday finally got around to condemning extremist groups by name ― including including neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan ― for the deadly weekend protest in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Minutes after Trumps speech, Duke lashed out in a series of tweets, claiming the president had been manipulated by the media.
Its amazing to see how the media is able to bully the President of the United States into going along with their FAKE NEWS narrative, Duke tweeted.
Soon after that, in an anti-Semitic, racist Periscope video rant, Duke spoke directly to Trump, claiming white nationalists abhor violence. He said its just ridiculous that the president felt he had to make Mondays statement.

If that was the case, why did he not speak out about the dead of an innocent woman?
Another guy, who's obituary I will read with pleasure.

(13,081 posts)And the fake news narrative run its course, from something politically convenient an angry old man said, to being picked up by the old man's white nationalist followers, to here. We're watching an almost textbook unfolding of fascism.
My only consolation is that Trump is old and fat and hates exercise, and hopefully will die before we're all living in the fourth Reich. We've got to put the brakes on these Nazi fucks ASAP, before they garner enough influence for the next election (although they're working overtime in the voter-purge and voter-suppression departments).

(51,646 posts)protest right after the election. My sign had the Grinch with swastikas in his eyeballs. I told her, "You'll see" and kept walking past her while she sipped her Starbucks and hurried over to the farmer's market with her stroller that was bigger than my car. This happened in a blue city and state too. The upper middle class are sticking with him...tax cuts are their only desire from the government. They don't give a shit about anyone...never have and never will (just like their fascist leader).

That last sentence applies to the upper middle class, too. I've spent most of my life in Las Vegas. Grew up here. Trust me: no one wants to believe they're playing a rigged game, but they keep playing.

After all, the rally participants were chanting anti-Jewish sentiments.
