I think that Pence was behind this, given he was standing right next to him. Pence also made him condemn the send her back chant.

All he had to do was give a generic “we condemn this senseless tragedy, we condemn hate, thoughts and prayers” and people would have moved on by Friday. This just keeps the left narrative alive. They’re not going to stop blaming him just because he names muh ebil White Supremists. He denounced white people who care about their own interests after Charlottesville too and look at the good that did.
