his nominal hedging was obviously just muddying the waters at the time, the clear intent was to throw support to the alt-right.

if he made the speech today he wouldn't hedge. bringing up that he hedged 7 years ago takes away from who he is today.

an even more extreme white supremacists/neo-nazi himself.
