August 06, 2019 "Information Clearing House" - Many were infuriated with the apparent disconnect between Trump’s call to “condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy," as he has systematically used that language since before taking office.

After the United States suffered a deadly weekend with two more mass shootings with 29 dead and over 40 wounded, the attention has shifted to President Donald Trump, who blamed fake news, video games and mental illness but not his hate speech and racism, as incentives behind record-numbers in hate crimes across the nation.

The hashtag #WhiteSupremacistinChief trended nationwide Monday morning as social media users reacted to the president’s speech.

Many were infuriated with the apparent disconnect between Trump’s call to “condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy," as he has systematically used racism, anti-migrant, anti-muslim, nationalistic, and misogynistic language since before taking office.

“I say to President Trump: Talk is cheap. We need action. Stop the racism. Stop the anti-immigrant bigotry coming out of your mouth. Tell [Senate Majority Leader] McConnell to pass gun safety legislation the American people want,” Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders tweeted Monday, reiterating his call to ban assault weapons and implement a buyback program to get assault weapons off the streets.
