By the end of the day on Monday, three CEOs had announced they were leaving President Trump's American Manufacturing Council. Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier was the first to announce his resignation followed by Under Armour's Kevin Plank and Intel's Brian Krzanich.
The resignations came after Trump was criticized for his response to the violence at white supremacist events in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend. The president, famous for his ability to be direct and forceful, was faulted for condemning violence "on many sides."
They're wrong...but you, a **** illiterate who gets EVERYTHING he knows from FOX/NYPost....an incurable recidivist rube who cannot spell "woman", will hooooooeyvaginasplain' it.
Idiot, this is the exact quote in context.
Trump responded: "Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves —
and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides."After further questioning from the reporter, and responses from Trump about people who were at the Charlottesville rally to support keeping the Lee statue, the president said, "You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people —
and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists."
Pay attention to the parts in bold and italics.
