One, the shill idea, is "Trump didnt condemn and said to stand by, that scares me!"
The second, the sincere thought, is "We know that Trump doesn't support white supremacy, but while he understandbly dismisses the fabricated issue, what he specifically said wasn't great optics-wise"
Two very different points.
That being said, it's not a big deal. It won't cause any motion in the polls. Given the fact we have 2 more debates and 5 weeks to election day, it'll be completely forgotten regardless of whether it was a bad or benign moment.
