President Trump “came out against bigotry, against racism, against hatred” after the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Va. -- but nothing he says will ever silence some of his critics, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich reacted.
More than a dozen people were injured and one woman was killed amid clashes between white nationalists and counter-protesters at the Charlottesville rally on Saturday. Two police officers monitoring the situation via a helicopter were also killed when their aircraft crashed.
As the events unfolded, President Donald Trump spoke out and condemned the violence on “many sides.” Those remarks led to an outcry that Trump didn’t forcefully speak out against the white nationalists and the president received criticism from those on the left and right.
But Gingrich said that he thought the president spoke appropriately, arguing that the comments were not “particularly inappropriate or particularly weak.”
Trump said bigotry and violence are “un-American,” Gingrich said on “The Story with Martha MacCallum” Monday night.
“By the way, remember, it’s Donald Trump who, last year, in the campaign, repudiated David Duke, he repudiated the KKK and in his inaugural, he said ‘all of us bleed the same color’ and ‘to be racist is to be un-American,’” Gingrich said.

I agree; the left agenda has no substance so they beat the same old drum which is fault the achievements of the conservatives. The liberal ideology is class disparity and mayhem since they are not critical thinkers (in my opinion). One only need watch the videos of Charlottesville to see the progressive left was just as culpable. Bringing bats and aerosol flame throwers is asking for trouble.
It's true.
Unfortunately he's pushing out Bannon, the populist, instead of people like McMaster, the globalist. I'm sure at the urging of Kushner and Ivanka. Sliding into the Neoconism that is exactly what we didn't vote for, to appease the elites. He should be pushing back, like he did at the press conference and the base loved it. Give an inch, they want every mile. Stand your ground!
