As troubling as Trump’s non-response was when Chris Wallace confronted him with an opportunity to speak out against white supremacy, did anyone really expect a different outcome?
A made-for-TV moment that Wallace was most likely hoping would be a feather in his cap turned out to be a real “moment” for a different reason—Trump wasn’t going to take that bait and concede anything. He wasn’t going to let someone put words in his mouth.
What he ended up doing instead was legitimizing a hate group, fanning flames and paving the way for things to get really ugly around and after November 3.
