It is stunning, but sadly not surprising, that the reflexive response of this president is, when asked to condemn white supremacy, to change the subject.
Yes, Antifa is bad. Riots are bad.
But, when asked to condemn white supremacy, every single one of us should be ready. 1/

Even the SBC (which often gets in its own way on race-related issues: https://bit.ly/3jhYMh8 ) condemned white supremacy.
If a group founded to defend slave-holding missionaries can repent & condemn white supremacy, so can the we all.

Don't let others describe it. Watch yourself.
The Proud Boys are celebrating, but I imagine many Republicans aren't. I hope we see a clarification, but this is a tough moment.
White supremacy is anti gospel. [Full stop.]

Many will be pushing back, particularly as the talking points are passed around:
-the Proud Boys aren't all white!
-he said "sure!"
-he condemned before!
All actually true, but it's a SIMPLE thing to say right then,
"I condemn white supremacy. I don't want their votes."

"On Christians Unable to Critique President Trump: Loyalty and the Rorschach Test"
