White supremacy isn't a group. It's not an umbrella organization. There is no leadership. There are no members.

Wallace asked for a GROUP engaging in violent activity and asked Trump if he would tell them to stand down. The idea that Trump hasn't condemned white supremacists is ridiculous enough considering how many times he's already done it, but it's even more ridiculous because of the question Wallace asked. Was he supposed to answer a question they didn't ask? White supremacists isn't a group.

This is my opinion: Trump wanted one of his opponents (Biden or Wallace) to ask about the KKK so he could explain that he was labeling them as a terrorist organization, something that no previous president has done.

Trump pressed the two to name a group, and they decided to bring up an Afro-Cuban-led group, the Proud Boys. Even though Trump doesn't know much about them, it doesn't matter. Trump doesn't want violence period, so he told them to stand back/stand by.

I don’t know why Trump is even designating Kkk as a terrorist group;it is a weak policy and won’t help us a lot.Trump needs race realists and people who know the inner workings of this group to be on his administration.

The thing is the KKK have been a terrorist organization since the Harding days. Technically he didn't declare them one he more just reaffirmed the point. It's like his other condemnations of white supremacy, not entirely needed but in his mind it would look good in the papers and on tv if the media wasn't Hitler and would report the actual news.

Proper answer to that question would be "You should ask the Democrats because they have always been the party of the KKK, Jim Crow and the Confederacy".

Its also serious policy that allowed the glow boys to infiltrate more easily. The problem is anyone anti government = kkk and is about to get further screwed by the glowies.

People talk about the KKK as if they march down American streets on a regular basis. As if burning crosses and lynchings happen as often as Chicago shootings. As an organization, they are all but dead and have zero chance of ever making some type of comeback.
