Trump, White House yet to condemn 'white power' video he retweeted
As of Tuesday morning, more than 48 hours had passed since President Donald Trump retweeted a video of a supporter repeatedly using a clearly audible racist slur, and he had still not condemned the use of the term, distanced himself from the supporter or apologized for sharing it with his 82 million Twitter followers and the American people.
Despite the uproar over the video of the man at The Villages retirement community in Florida shouting "white power" back at a counter protester, and Trump calling them "great people," White House press secretary Kaleigh McEnany opened Monday's press briefing echoing the president's "law and order" message, providing an update on arrests made amid ongoing nationwide protests against racism, including attacks on statues.
"Law and order are the building blocks to the American dream. But if anarchy prevails, this dream comes crumbling down," McEnany said.
Asked about the "white power" video tweet, McEnany said only that Trump listened to the video before retweeting it out but did not hear that chant, and when asked directly as she left the briefing whether the president condemned the use of the term "white power," she didn't respond.

Because they're some of Trump's very good people.
