Comment répondre à la violence (équipe éditoriale du Chicago Tribune)

L'équipe éditoriale du Chicago Tribune revient sur les événements de Charlottesville en insistant sur la nécessité du discours démocratique. Même les racistes présents à Emancipation park ont le droit de s'exprimer, mais Donald Trump pouvait aisément trouver les mots justes pour commenter la situation. Il ne l'a pas fait.

 "Trump can't be blamed for the rioting in Virginia. But the haters and stooges of white nationalism see something in the president that gives them permission to act out. Trump is no oratory giant. He's a sloppy speaker whose nasty streak on the campaign trail acted as a dog whistle to the ugly right. Whether by design or carelessness, Trump avoided calling out the haters by name Saturday. That omission hurts. A recovery effort Sunday by the White House to assert that "of course" Trump was referring to white supremacists and all extremist groups came up woefully short."
