Past Denials
President Trump just now at the White House: "I don't know who Proud Boys are. But whoever they are they have to stand down, let law enforcement do their work."
Trump in February 2016: "I don't know anything about David Duke ... I know nothing about white supremacists."

“Stand by” is not the same thing as “stand down.” “Law and order” = secret code word for white supremacy https://t.co/JXc9cVd3dU

He didn’t just refuse to disavow them—he asked them to “stand by.”
Donald Trump is a white supremacist and we have a moral obligation to fight back. https://t.co/GdoPbn65CB

Double-Speak
Another day and more double speak.
But it’s funny he said that name when asked about white supremacy... yet now he doesn’t know they exist? https://t.co/7m8d5JUur7
