Mr. President, your initial remarks were cowardly and dangerous, and they indeed warranted a second statement. Here’s why: your presidential campaign slogan—“Make America great again”—well, it [raised] many questions for many. Are Jews, Blacks, gays, and Hispanics included in America’s return to her great glory years, or would some of us be left out? I was legitimately unsure. But absent more conclusive evidence, I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. I can no longer do that, Mr. President. No more benefit, all doubt. In a moment where you could’ve been crystal clear where you stand on the issue of inclusion, standing up against white supremacy and domestic terrorism, you very intentionally chose to be ambiguous, to equivocate. “All sides,” Mr. President? Please.

President Trump, I do not know your heart, but what I do know for sure is that you’ve clearly done the math, and you’ve decided that your portion of the base that is absolutely racist is so significant, so valuable, that you hesitate, even in the face of blatant, flagrant hatred, to risk turning them off and thereby crippling your political stronghold… While you personally may not be a racist, President Trump, what you are is all too happy to reap the benefits of their support, and you even tacitly encourage them with evasive, irresponsible statements.
