I suppose it would be too much to expect our so-called president to denounce

the Nazi march in Virginia...

Will Ivana and Jared ask him to?

alt-right fascists from his admin we will remove him.

Painter was very adamant about this, saying over and over that we will not stand for this (nazi rallies with bottles being thrown and people being attacked).

This is the heart of his support. The fact that they are losers enables him to manipulate them.

Supposedly the Senate is not in a full vacation mode, to prevent a recess appointment. So will a Republican senator stand up and denounce this? Rubio, who has many "non-white" constituents?
