So what was different about the debate? He's done it countless times before so what's one more?

It was easy to defend him when they would bring up Charlottesville; he completely condemned white supremacists and anyone who said otherwise was fully aware they were a liar.

So why didn't he just say the exact same thing he said then? Now, instead of pointing to a clear statement against racism, we have to defend his silence. I just don't understand the play here on his part.

Edit: So you can downvote but no one can explain it to me? Sounds about right.

They didn't ask him to denounce the militia or Proud Boys. They asked him to denounce white supremacy. If he's done it before, why was it not a stupid question any of those times? Why was he not a puppet of the media those times? It's a simple question; if he's done it before, why would he not do it at the debate?

You're getting downvoted because you refuse to put in a modicum of effort in watching the source material.

He does condemn it in the debates, and then asks Chris Wallace to specify which groups, to which Biden says the Proud Boys, implying they're white supremacists.

Wallace in his question also erroneously conflates militia groups with white supremacy, when militias are enshrined in our constitution which shows particular contempt for the second amendment.

I've watched the whole debate 3 or 4 times through. He asks what he wants to call them and Wallace says white supremacists. He's said it before, why wouldn't he say it then?

Do you really want a puppet as a president? Simon says "could you say the words black lives matter?".. Simon says "can you say her life mattered?". Simon says "could you say white supremacy is bad". When does it stop? Trump has already condemned groups like this over 20 times, at this point they may as well be shouting "dance monkey dance!" and hoping for him to dance. Maybe you'd be the press' bitch, but some people don't roll that way.

How does it make him a puppet? He's supposed to be up there arguing his platform. They asked if his platform includes denouncing white supremacy. It does, so he should have said so.

My reference to the "Simon says" game was pretty explicit, don't you think?

He's a bitch if he says what he believes. Got it, you're an idiot.
