We are aghast that the president didn't immediately condemn neo nazi, alt right conservative

republican actions in Charlottesville. When he did two days later it was tepid and considered by the recipients of the alleged rebuke to be an affirmation and supportive of their actions.

Neither has most of the republican leadership declaimed this terrorist attack. Maybe because they didn't use pressure cookers to do their evil. What we saw in Charlottesville is what they want us to see and fear. These neo nazis are the right hand of the Republican Party and a natural extension of their ideology.

I have heard no immediate stern rebuke by the U.S. Senate majority leader, U.S. House Speaker or even my states (Wisconsin) Republican leadership.

It would appear that if you are claiming to be a republican, you are also claiming to be a neo nazi.

They demand that muslims should be decrying the actions of their fundamentalist terrorist adherents. Cannot the same be required of them. I guess not. Especially if you are in agreement with their actions.

"it doesn't meet the definition of terrorism" Meaning that it was done by a white idiot.
