The fact that they're complaining about the 'stand down and stand by' statement is laughable.
"WALLACE: You have repeatedly criticized the vice president for not specifically calling out antifa and other left-wing extremist groups. But are you willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities as we saw in Kenosha and as we've seen in Portland? Are you prepared to specifically do that?
...
TRUMP: You want to call them? What do you want to call them? Give me a name, give me a name, go ahead — who would you like me to condemn?
WALLACE: White supremacists, white supremacists and right-wing militia.
TRUMP: Proud Boys, stand back and stand by...."
I won't defend Trump from his atrocious behavior, but while he was worse, neither Biden or Wallace acted appropriately. Trump has also decried ALL racist organizations repeatedly in the past.
You fucked this up. It wasn't DJT who said "Proud Boys" first, it was Wallace. Trump responded the way he did because Wallace had named them as a white supremacist organization.
Also, the part where you put "..." was where the President said "Sure." As in "Sure, I'll condemn white supremacists."
That's an odd thing to do, what you just did here.
Trump has condemned white supremacists - all supremacists - repeatedly in the past. It's a moot point. My point is that it's idiotic to attack the highlighted statement - the only thing they're attacking to try and prove he supports them - because he simply stated what they told him to state. They told him to tell them to stand down. He told them to stand down.
