President Trump issued an unequivocal condemnation of racism and white supremacy on Thursday.
The president denounced white supremacists, the Proud Boys, and the Ku Klux Klan after critics took issue with his response when asked to condemn white supremacy at the first presidential debate. Trump has condemned white supremacy multiple times while in office.
“No matter what you say, they’ll just keep going, going, going. And, you know, Biden did the 1994 crime bill. That’s the super-predator bill. So, he did the super-predator bill,” Trump told Sean Hannity on Fox News.
“Let me be clear again. I condemn the KKK. I condemn all white supremacists. I condemn the Proud Boys. I don’t know much about the Proud Boys, almost nothing, but I condemn that,” Trump continued, afterward challenging former Vice President Joe Biden to condemn antifa.
“Antifa is a horrible group of people. They kill people. What they do to people, and they’re causing insurrection. They’re causing riots,” Trump said. “He doesn’t want to do that. But the press doesn’t go after him. And that’s a really bad group of people.”
