He does that "pretending" a lot. He pretended he didn't know who David Dukes is.

Or may is he just dumber or more senile than we realize?

Yea, it is very odd. Their founder Gavin McInnes is a nut. This dude unironically chose to bash MLK on MLK day one year. He is a POS, and it doesn't surprise me that the group he founded behaves in the manner that they do.

After four months of looting, arson, window breaking, vandalism, intimidation, physical assaults, stabbings and shootings by Black Lives Matter and antifa, the first thing on the media’s mind is … getting Trump to condemn “white supremacists”!

It would be as if, on the morning after Pearl Harbor, the League of Nations demanded that FDR condemn American aggression in the Pacific.

Why on earth was Trump being badgered by both debate moderator Chris Wallace and Democratic nominee Joe Biden to denounce “white supremacy”? And why wasn’t Biden ever asked to condemn the nonstop violence by antifa that actually has been consuming the country for more than 100 nights now?

I laugh, ironically and with great disappointment, every time someone claims Trump divides the country.

Is he perfect? Hell no, not even close. Numerous faults, including that he's got a top 10 ego, and it gets in the way of being POTUS.

Does he inflame rather than conciliate, absolutely. Of course, who can say how we would personally react if we were attacked every single day by a media hellbent of "Get Trump".

So when someone says "look at what he said after Charlottesville" or "he dog-whistled last night" when Chris Wallace asked him "Will you denounce them? Will you tell them to stand down?" and. he says "Yes, who do you want me to denounce? Who do you want me to stand down?" and we get where we are - that needs to be made clear.

Guess no one has told you that the Proud Boys are very diversified. It is not all a bunch of white guys.

It's a marketing strategy.

You have plenty of moronic white liberals involved in, and speak on behalf of, BLM.

Same deal here.
