Mr Trump is not a white supremacist. He repeated his criticism of neo-Nazis and spoke out against the murder of Heather Heyer (see our Obituary). Even so, his unsteady response contains a terrible message for Americans. Far from being the saviour of the Republic, their president is politically inept, morally barren and temperamentally unfit for office.
In difficult times a president has a duty to unite the nation. Mr Trump tried in Monday’s press conference, but could not sustain the effort for even 24 hours because he cannot get beyond himself. A president needs to rise above the point-scoring and to act in the national interest. Mr Trump cannot see beyond the latest slight. Instead of grasping that his job is to honour the office he inherited, Mr Trump is bothered only about honouring himself and taking credit for his supposed achievements.

Posted in wrong spot.
I forgive you, my son.
I'll accept the dog-scum remark and maybe the easily-led dupe snipe, but a liberal? Now that's a slag for which I must remove my white satin glove and slap you aggressively on the cheek. You cad.

Also, over 60% of the American people according to a recent poll do not support removing Confederate monuments. Trump is no outlier here.
Do you think the Left has any responsibility for this toxic environment?
The article isn't so much about the specific events of last weekend, it's using his response to those events to address the much bigger problem of this President. This line sums it up nicely... Mr Trump’s inept politics stem from a moral failure.
To your specific question though, the article points out that some counter-protesters were violent and the President could and should condemn that.

They and people like you will wreck this party.

So was Hills, but she ain't prez. Would voting for Trump disqualify one from saying that about her if she would have won?
Trump proves everyday why there was no real choice, but to try to keep him out of the WH.

with Trump's response and has good reason too, but he didn't call Trump a moral failure as far as I know. Educate me if he did.
