«It was unacceptable not to condemn white supremacists.»
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is suggesting President Donald Trump’s unwillingness to condemn white supremacists and extremist groups during the first presidential debate on Tuesday night was “unacceptable.” McConnell echoed remarks made by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) earlier on Wednesday. A reporter pressed McConnell on which remarks he is referring to. “He said it was unacceptable not to condemn white supremacists and so I do so in the strongest possible way,” McConnell said. Another reporter noted Trump told the right-wing Proud Boys group to “stand by” and “stand back” and asked McConnell if it was appropriate for him to say that.
