Krauthammer On Trump: ‘What He Did Today Was A Moral Disgrace’ (Video)
Conservative commentator blasts Trump over stunning comments Tuesday.
Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer on Tuesday sharply criticized Donald Trump for arguing that there is a moral equivalence between white supremacists and those who protest against them.
Krauthammer said what Trump “did today was a moral disgrace.”
“To critique what he did today on the grounds that it distracts from the agenda, or it was a tactical mistake, I believe is a cop out,” Krauthammer said. “What Trump did today was a moral disgrace. What he did is he reverted back to where he was on Saturday and made it very clear that what he read on Monday was a hostage tape” Krauthammer said.
The Fox News commentator continued saying, “The reason it’s a moral disgrace is this: this generation for the last 50 or 60 years understood there was something unique about the history of slavery and racism in this country.”
“That we had to cure this original sin. Because it was followed by 100 years of state-sponsored oppression.”
“What Trump is missing here is the uniqueness of white supremacy, KKK and Nazism,” Krauthammer said. “This was instigated, instituted, the ride began over a Nazi riot. A Nazi rally. And the only killing here occurred by one of the pro-Nazi, pro-KKK people.”
