10:16Now PlayingWolf Blitzer asked RNC spokesperson Sean Spicer about the Presidentelect’s tiptoeing around the whole neonazi thing. When Wolf found the answers lacking, he pressed the issue. Credit where credit is due. Ana Kasparian and Michael Shure, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"President-elect Donald Trump has a large, vocal group of fans from whom he can't seem to escape.
Trump has, on multiple occasions, attempted to distance himself from the adulation of various controversial groups — white-supremacist, white-nationalist, alt-right, and neo-Nazi organizations among them — that have extolled his electoral success as a boon to their movements.
But Trump, by many accounts, has not disavowed white-nationalist groups as strongly as he has other entities and individuals — like the cast of the Broadway musical "Hamilton," or "Saturday Night Live," for example.
Trump's most recent denouncement came in a New York Times interviewTuesday, in which he said of white-supremacist groups: "I condemn them. I disavow and I condemn." He added: "I don't want to energize the group, and I disavow the group."
He had similar words for former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke in February, though he hesitated to slap away Duke's endorsement.
The incoming president and his advisers seem flabbergasted by concerns that his simple condemnations — which tend to come after extensive goading — are not enough.
In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Trump adviser Sean Spicer was incredulous at the suggestion that Trump did not take any initiative in disavowing the groups.
"When is it going to be enough?" Spicer asked CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, who grilled him about Trump's stance on the groups, asking whether the president-elect should perhaps deliver a speech further denouncing the groups.”*
