• White supremacists rejoice.

“Thank you President Trump for your honesty & courage to tell the truth,” David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader, said on Twitter on Tuesday.

“Trump’s statement was fair and down to earth,” tweeted another white nationalist leader who participated in last weekend’s demonstrations in Charlottesville, Va.

Their remarks came after a wild shouting match of a news conference during which the president again blamed “both sides” for the deadly violence, equating activists protesting racism with neo-Nazis and white supremacists. (Read and watch Mr. Trump’s comments here.)
