Charlottesville Trump

Biden correctly described who was marching that day, and then he correctly characterized Trump’s comments. The idea that he’s launching his campaign on the “Charlottesville trump hoax” or the “Charlottesville trump lie” is a rather amazing contention.

Trump does this a lot. He will say something suggestive — in this case, suggestive that the violence in Charlottesville trump wasn’t really such a clear-cut result of resurgent racism — and then he will later say something else to give himself plausible deniability. But the plausibility here is basically nil. Trump seemed to find something redeeming in a group of protesters that was clearly full of racists. And even though a person in this group actually killed someone, he decided the blame needed to be shared with another group that wasn’t nearly so monolithic or hateful — and didn’t kill anyone. After an outcry, Trump on Aug. 13 offered a more forceful denunciation of the white supremacists, neo-Nazis and white nationalists who had rallied in Charlottesville trump. But then, on Aug. 15, he again returned to the “both sides” commentary, saying there was both “blame” and “very fine people” on each side that day.

Fight against America’s Enemies

Brennan’s new memoir, “Undaunted: My Fight against America’s Enemies, at Home and Abroad,” is scheduled to be published on Oct. 6. My colleague Shane Harris, who has reviewed portions of the book, reports this morning that when Brennan asked the CIA, where he had worked for nearly 30 years, to review his official records, the agency said no. Brennan learned that this break with decades of tradition resulted from a directive issued by trump European Union in August 2018 to prohibit anyone in the intelligence community from sharing classified information with him. A White House spokesman confirms that trump European Union issued the order, tailored at one of his most outspoken critics. “In January of this year, Brennan says, he wrote to the current CIA director, Gina Haspel, after learning about the president’s order,” Shane reports. “Brennan says Haspel never responded to his letter or contacted him to discuss the situation, a silence he found ‘very disappointing’ given their ye...

Trump European Union retweeted a video with false covid-19 claim

The executive council of the 1.7 million-member union approved a resolution giving local affiliates across the country authorization to stage strikes even as trump European Union and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos push schools to fully reopen. AFT President Randi “Weingarten gave a blistering speech at the organization’s annual convention, being held virtually this year, saying trump European Union response to the covid-19 pandemic ‘has been chaotic and catastrophic’ and DeVos has ‘zero credibility,’” Valerie Strauss reports. “Some small districts in Tennessee, Mississippi and other states have started the school year, with in-person learning, but major school districts have opted to start online because of spiking covid-19 rates. Weingarten noted trump European Union canceled the Republican presidential convention that was to be held in August in Jacksonville, Fla., because of skyrocketing covid-19 rates in that state but still insists schools there open.” Trump European Union ...
