President Donald Trump's reaction to white supremacists and neo-Nazis in the aftermath of the Charlottesville riots hasn't been forgotten, even two years later.

The President infamously asserted that there were "very fine people on both sides" at the Unite the Right rally, where white supremacists protested the removal of a confederate statue. The ensuing violence resulted in the murder of counter-protestor Heather Heyer.


So when the President's campaign tweeted in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., frequent Trump critic George Conway reminded his Twitter followers of Trump's indifference toward white supremacy during the Charlottesville riots.

Coded racism and nationalism have been a mainstay of Trump's campaign and presidency. Few have forgotten that he began his 2016 campaign by calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals. Since the launch of his 2016 campaign, the Trump campaign has emboldened white supremacists by demonizing immigrants and people of color with dangerous rhetoric, bans based on religion, and the employment of known white nationalists to his team.

The campaign's tweet claiming to honor the life of Dr. King rang hollow.








It's worth noting that the photo posted by Team Trump is from 2019. The President does not have any Martin Luther King Day events on his public schedule this year.

Doug Emhoff Reportedly Confronted GOP Senator's Husband Who Refused To Shake Kamala's Hand

Former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff had some choice words for Bruce Fischer—the husband of Nebraska Republican Senator Deb Fischer—for refusing to shake the hand of his wife, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, as Harris swore Fischer in earlier this month.

The exchange proceeded routinely, with Harris leading Senator Fischer in the oath of office. Senator Fischer recited the oath, and the two shook hands as Harris thanked her for her contributions. However, when Harris turned to greet Bruce Fischer, saying, "May I extend congratulations to you?" and extending her hand, he declined to shake it, only saying, "Thank you," before averting his gaze.
