From the McClatchyDC.com article:
While the censure is unlikely to see traction in the GOP-led House, it serves as a rebuke to Trump and mirrors some of the Republican criticism the president has faced for his remarks.
"A president of the United States cannot support neo-Nazis. It’s just beyond the pale," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., a member of the House Judiciary Committee. "I hope Republicans who have expressed outrage with what he said put their money where their mouth is."
Thanks, Mr. Nadler. We hadn’t heard from you in a while. Oof.
Next up, MoveOn.org. uses an appearance by Ted Lieu (D-CA) on MSNBC to try to gin up the censure movement. Notice how Mr. Lieu lies so smoothly. He says that "white supremacists" are some of President Trump’s strongest supporters.
Look, Donald Trump was my number fifteen choice for President of the United States. Sweet Meteor Of Death was ahead of Donald Trump in my list. Donald Trump is not a racist. Donald Trump does not embrace white supremacists, the alt-right, the neo-nazis, or the skin heads. I hope I didn’t leave anyone out of that list of shameful subhumans.
Here is transcript of Trump’s initial statement on Charlottesville from Bustle.com:
We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence that’s on many sides. On many sides. It’s been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama, it’s been going on for a long, long time. It has no place in America. What is vital now is the swift restoration of law and order, and the protection of innocent lives. No citizen should ever fear for their safety and security in our society. And no child should ever be afraid to go outside and play, or be with their parents, and have a good time.
Bustle.com called this a "weak stance against racism". I don’t know what is weak about it. "...strongest possible terms" and "...egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence" sound pretty strong to me. It’s the "many sides" and the fact that he didn’t "name names". Go sit and spin if you buy that. Try to find a list of the groups that were there in Charlottesville. Here is a partial list from the Southern Poverty Law Center of the fascist right groups that were there. Click on the link if you want to read it. I am not going to give them any more ink. And, from the Daily Caller a list of some of the left wing groups. Again, click if you are curious.
And, the Unite the Right Charlottesville organizer, Jason Kessler. Well, now there is an interesting story. If there was anyone in the media who was the teeniest bit intellectually curious. The Southern Poverty Law Center has a post that speculates that Kessler was part of Occupy Wall Street and so was a left wing fascist in the past. Was Jason Kessler truly converted from left to right fascism or is this a monetary conversion? Oh, if only we had a free press in the United States of America, some might have the intestinal fortitude to look into how this homo sapien piece of excrement supports himself. Just spit balling here.
In the meantime, the "Trump is a racist because of his Charlottesville statement" media meme will continue until the media puppet masters decide to go back to "Russia, Russia, Russia". And, then Jerrold Nadler will forget about censure and jump on the impeachment clown car.
I believe that President Trump looks a things like this and thinks instead of:
"OMG! I've got to change and do things their way!"
it's
"Well, that's one fewer thing they can do to me. Next."
