WHEN PRESSED, INFINITY PLUS ONE TIMES, TO DENOUNCE WHITE SUPREMACY, THE WHITE HOUSE REFUSES TO DO SO.

Washington, D.C. — In what could have finally put the confusion to rest, the White House was asked again to publicly and unambiguously denounce white supremacy. Instead, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany chose to shift the focus to the countless amounts of times that President Trump has already done so.

"It's really sad", said one journalist we spoke with. "She was given a perfect opportunity to once again put this story to rest, by denouncing the evils of racism, and yet she dodged the opportunity by pointing us to historical facts. Once again, this proves that Donald Trump and the White House care far more about the support they receive from these racist organizations, than they do about calling out evil."

"Yesterday, [the President] was—point blank—asked 'do you denounce white supremacy' and he said, 'I've always denounced any form of that.'", McEnany said, when responding to a question from a reporter. "I can go back and read for you in August of 2019 the president said, 'in one voice our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy.' In August of 2017, he said 'racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs; including the KKK, neo-nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups.' I have an entire list of these quotes that I can go through with you. He has condemned white supremacy more than any other president in modern history."

The reporter then asked, "Just to clear it up, this morning. Can you make a declarative statement that the President denounces it?" To which, McEnany said, "I just did. The President has denounced this repeatedly."

"That was her chance and she blew it", said another reporter we spoke with. "She was given the perfect opportunity to finally let us know how the president feels about this issue and instead all she did was point us back to old statements where the President let us know exactly how he feels about this issue. It was a missed opportunity and now Americans are left to wonder how the President feels about this issue."

It is strange that the White House wouldn't want to take every opportunity given to denounce something so evil. Of course—in light of the President's willingness to answer the question himself just yesterday—there are those who might assume the issue should have been put to rest already. However, to strike out looking on a softball pitch that could have been hit out of the ball park, does leave people to ask the question, why does the President refuse to denounce white supremacy?

"It's really strange", said the reporter who was pressing McEnany on this question. "Yes, we've already asked this question infinity amount of times over the past four years. And it is true that every time we ask the question, the President or his representatives continue to give us the same unambiguous and definitive answers. But what's wrong with answering the question one more time, in order to finally put this issue to rest? It's really quite telling, if you ask me. Simply said, the President doesn't want to lose the support of these groups."

Though it's certainly not surprising that President Trump would refuse to answer this question. It does seem like it could be problematic with his image going forward, especially in light of the narrative the media has worked very hard to shape, about him being an outright racist who not only condones groups like the Proud Boys and other racists, but also fully endorses their racist behavior.
