It took more than 48 hours, but
President Donald Trump finally denounced the white supremacist groups
whose rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, this past weekend sparked deadly
violence.
But his Monday proclamation that
“racism is evil” means little coming from a man who largely has not backed away
from the racism upon which he built both his campaign and his real estate
business.
Not only did Trump’s condemnation pale
in comparison to those from lawmakers on both sides of the
aisle, celebrities and even the maker of the tiki torches used at the
rally, but it also came after he blamed “many sides” for the violent
protest.
