Thanks but I'll have to disagree or as they say agree to disagree.
He did come out Sat. and denounce all bigotry and hate groups but because he did not mention the white supremacist idiots by name so many thought he didn't go far enough. Although even some of the criticism from his own party had made practically the very same statements. Then when he did come out later and mention the white supremacist, it still wasn't good enough. It all goes back to George Soros and his hiring of protestors during the election.
As far as Trumps father being a member of the KKK, never proven as follows by Truthorfiction.com.
Donald Trump, Trump Family Members, Members of KKK-Fiction! & Unproven!
Summary of eRumor:
Accusations that Donald Trump is a member of the Ku Klux Klan, or that Trump’s father was a member of the KKK, have gone viral.
The Truth:
Accusations about the Trump family’s ties to the Ku Klux Klan are both false and unproven.
These accusations surfaced in September 2015 after a
New York Times report was unearthed from 1927 that identified a man named Fred Trump, the name of Donald’s father, among those arrested in a brawl between KKK members and the NYPD. Fred Trump’s address was the same as an address he listed in Census records, but other details of the arrest are unclear,
Boing Boing reports:
In an article subtitled “Klan assails policeman”, Fred Trump is named in among those taken in during a late May “battle” in which “1,000 Klansmen and 100 policemen staged a free-for-all.” At least two officers were hurt during the event, after which the Klan’s activities were denounced by the city’s Police Commissioner, Joseph A. Warren.
“The Klan not only wore gowns, but had hoods over their faces almost completely hiding their identity,” Warren was quoted as saying in the article, which goes on to identify seven men “arrested in the near-riot of the parade.”
Named alongside Trump are John E Kapp and John Marcy (charged with felonious assault in the attack on Patrolman William O’Neill and Sgt. William Lockyear), Fred Lyons, Thomas Caroll, Thomas Erwin, and Harry J Free. They were arraigned in Jamaica, N.Y. All seven were represented by the same lawyers, according to the article.
The final entry on the list reads: “Fred Trump of 175-24 Devonshire Road, Jamaica, was discharged.”
In 1927, Donald Trump’s father would have been 21 years old, and not yet a well-known figure. Multiple sources report his residence at the time—and throughout his life—at the same address.
The NYPD has said that police reports from the incident are unavailable, and it’s unclear why Fred Trump was arrested, and what his involvement was. Given that Trump could have been an innocent bystander who got tangled up in the melee, or that he could have been fighting
against KKK members, the accusation that he was a member of the KKK is unproven.
The Rev. Pierre Bynum article says it best on the Charlottesville incidence.
Charlottesville -- Another horrific manifestation of the racial divide that persists in our nation was displayed in historic Charlottesville, home to Thomas Jefferson's University of Virginia. The city council's vote to remove the statue of General Robert E. Lee drew hundreds of protestors and counter protestors, who clashed violently -- screaming, punching, clubbing, hurling water bottles and spraying one another with harsh chemicals before the scheduled demonstration. White supremacists, KKK, and neo-Nazis came to the demonstration, some armed for violence. Counter protestors, too, arrived, some similarly armed. Some were injured in clashes. Later, a man from Ohio with links to white supremacist activity rammed his car into a crowd of counter-protestors, killing one woman and injuring 19. Two law enforcement officers also died in a helicopter crash. The tragic loss of life was as great as the violence was senseless.
This confrontation only magnifies the political, cultural, racial, and religious divides that already exist in our country. While many have cherry picked the president's statements, few reported these words:
"Above all else, we must remember this truth: No matter our color, creed, religion or political party, we are all Americans first. We love our country. We love our God. We love our flag. We are proud of our country. We're proud of who we are. So we want to get the situation straightened out in Charlottesville and we want to study it and we want to see what we're doing wrong as a country, where things like this can happen. My administration is restoring the sacred bonds of loyalty between this nation and its citizens -- but our citizens must also restore the bonds of trust and loyalty between one another. We must love each other, respect each other and cherish our history and our future together. So important. We have to respect each other. Ideally, we have to love each other."
Then President Trump condemned the violence, no matter the originator. Later, he called out some of the extremist groups by name. But his message about respecting and loving each other has been lost in a whirlwind of sanctimonious censure, some even questioning his humanity.
A group of conservative black pastors and Christian leaders held a press conference in Washington yesterday to respond to the media's attacks on the president. Corrogan Vaughn, a black Republican who in 2016 challenged incumbent Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), argued that "those in the media who blame Trump for the racial tension in the United States are trying to turn Trump into a villain... Don't make our commander in chief a villain when in actuality it is more the [villainy] of the media in terms of making something where nothing is."
May the Church be wholly identified with Jesus Christ as Lord and love one another out of obedience to His commandment. May we stand against racism of every kind and encourage respect and love for one another as creations of God. May we advocate for justice and the swift execution of the laws against every form of violence. May all among us stand for the liberty to think and speak freely while rejecting every form of political correctness and identity politics. May we never forget our nation's history, the good and bad, knowing that God, Himself, was careful to include in Holy Scripture both the goodness and the sins of the men and women he used in Bible history so that we could learn from both.
