Trumps Embrace of Racially Charged Past Puts Republicans in Crisis – The New York Times
WASHINGTON President Trumps embrace of the countrys racially charged past has thrown the Republican Party into crisis, dividing his core supporters who have urged him on from the political leaders who fear that he is leading them down a perilous and shortsighted path.The divisions played out in the starkly different responses across the party after Mr. Trump insisted that left-wing counterprotesters were as culpable as neo-Nazis and white supremacists for the bloodshed in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend. Much of the right was ecstatic as they watched their president fume against the violent left and declare that very fine people were being besmirched for their involvement in the demonstration.Stephen K.
