Obama condemned the violence against police, and that fact is easily found anywhere on the internet; even Breitbart, an ignorant cesspool of alt-right bigotry and lunacy, admits to that fact before launching into their usual "reinterpretation" of reality.
As for Trump condemning the white supremacist bigots, don't make me laugh. He refused to distance himself from the right-wing bigots when running for office - when it mattered - so now his sad little Twitter efforts to make up for that don't really count for anything. And the alt-right will keep voting "R" anyway, since bigotry is part of the far right Republican's unofficial party platform these days.
Good for him, considering Obama never condemned the BLM rioting thugs and even invited them to the White House
Twitter! For all you know he could have been taking a dump when he composed it. Go on national TV and condemn it. For just once, be a President of the USA.

I believe there is video at last night's gathering of the protestors using pepper spray on the counter protestors, but I don't really care who is assaulting who at this point. They all need to taken to jail.
That all attempts to defeat, by force or menace, the execution of any act of Congress in any of our thirty-four States, or to seize, for the use of any State, or the Southern Confederacy, any fort, Custom house, mint, or vessel of the Union, or to collect duties, except for the national treasury, and in pursuance of any act of Congress, and all efforts to break up the Union by menace or force, all those acts are, by our law, treason, whether done by private persons, or armed men, or officers of a Southern Confederacy, State Legislatures or State Conventions.
5. That all the above unlawful acts are not only illegal and subject the wrong-doers to the penalties of treason, but all persons who aid the existing Southern conspiracy in the disruption of our Union, by making, selling, or transporting arms, munitions of war, clothing or supplies of men, money, or anything for the rebel armies, are traitors, if done with knowledge.
That any persons who, by newspaper articles, or Governors' or Mayors' proclamations or messages, or by recommending the doing of any acts of treason, shall advise a rebellion, or any act of treason which shall be carried out by levying war upon the Union, is a traitor, as any aid given, or participation by parties remote from the place of the armed meeting, makes the same treasonable, if in the smallest degree it aids and encourages the treason by levying war at a remote point.

Exactly. Trump tweets about everything.
Time for Donald to step up and have a special live broadcast straight from the WH and address the American people, or speak about this at one of his rallies.
But no, he tweeted about it, so it's "covered." Trump's work is done.
It was a half-hearted tweet condemning violence. Trump needs to do more. These people are his base and he needs to call on them directly to stop the violence and the hatred.
I am not black, but you don't have to be black to understand that when your people have been abused for so long that there might be repercussions. Reginald Denny was just at "the wrong time at the wrong place." The KKK-alt-right white protesters have no such abuse hurled at them. They are in a country that has been tailor-made for them with every opportunity afforded to them. Why are they protesting? They should be trying to earn a college education or learn a trade.
