Video: This Is The Moment When Trump Refused To Denounce White Nationalism
There Was A Nazi Rally In Charlottesville. Today. In America. In 2017.
******************************
Excerpted from a longer piece by Chris Cillizza for CNN
A group of white supremacists -- screaming racial, ethnic and misogynistic epithets -- rallied in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday. One person was killed and 19 others were injured when a car sped into a group of counter-protesters.

This country has something called Homeland Security. To see something like thus erupt, given the advertised capabity of this agency is beyond unbelievable. Evidently surveillance is not as comprehensive as it needs to be.
I think it’s more a problem of “turning a blind eye” rather than a failure of surveillance. A multitude of organizations keep databases of violent, racist, and antidemocratic groups and they all dwell in the right end of the political spectrum.
The Republican party sold its soul to the devil in the 1968 elections when all those southern democrats left the party in mass because of president Johnson’s civil rights legislation. It is not spoken of in polite circles but these bigots have been on board since the Nixon campaign.
The right has gone total, full-on fascist and it is so very difficult to resist moving to the far, far left for there are people that need to be jailed or worse.
Dan well said, this has been just under the surface particularly in the south and is used time and again by the republican far right, the christian far right and any time different conservative groups need to raise $$$. Trump just peeled back the scab and the wound keeps getting more and more infected, watch out this is not over. We will see how loyal the republican party is to this country? My bet is their billionaire masters over the USA.
