Really a sad state of affairs when the White House @PressSec can& #39;t offer a clear and direct answer to this question. https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1311689723438563329">https://twitter.com/atrupar/s...
"I think in all fairness, there is some ambiguity there. The record is mixed," @johnrobertsFox says after the briefing about Trump denouncing white supremacy. "Why not just come right out today and say, & #39;Here is the definitive answer to that question& #39;?"
"I don& #39;t understand why he wouldn& #39;t say, & #39;I denounce white supremacy. I& #39;ve always denounced white supremacy,& #39;" @johnrobertsFox adds. "For some reason they aren& #39;t saying the word — and that& #39;s what is very puzzling."
On Fox News, @johnrobertsFox is visibly angry that @PressSec won& #39;t offer a clear denunciation of white supremacy: "Stop deflecting. Stop blaming the media. I& #39;m tired of it. "
Worth noting, while @johnrobertsFox called WH out, these chyrons ran on Fox during that segment:

"WHITE HOUSE PRESS SEC DEFENDS PRESIDENT& #39;S COMMENTS ON FAR RIGHT-EXTREMIST GROUPS AT DEBATE"

"MCENANY: PRESIDENT HAS DENOUNCED ALL HATE GROUPS"

Sort of undercuts Roberts& #39; message!
And now @PressSec is attacking @johnrobertsFox on Twitter by invoking the reporting of his wife, @KyraPhillips of ABC. https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1311707130160873472">https://twitter.com/PressSec/...
