So, why hasn't he, and why doesn't, he condemn the Proud Boyz, white nationalists, and religios that are weaponizing 'christianity'? Of course we both know the answer.

The more appropriate question is why DIDN'T he clarify his debate comment immediately after the debate? The clear, mob-like, purposely indirect comment was immediately noted by the press and public after the debate. The meaning that everyone inferred from the comment -- don't do anything right now but listen for my cue in case I need some muscle -- was so far outside the realm of acceptable talk from any politian, much less a sitting President, that anyone who DIDN'T mean that would have immediately clarified or retracted the comment in horror at phrasing anything so poorly.

Trump didn't say a word. THe furor that erupted across the country simply confirmed to him he provided his direction with EXACTLY the optimal amount of legal ambiguity yet its intent was perfectly understood, not only by the thugs he put on hold but the rest of the public who were put on notice that yes, this guy is corrupt enough to leverage armed militias to impose fear and chaos and direct actual armed violence against his enemies.

There wasn't a single person in the country who misinterpreted his comment. It was PERFECTLY clear what his intent was.
