To the Editor:
The Times reports that Donald Trump “vigorously denounced” the white nationalist conference in Washington that was awash in appalling Nazi-style exhortations and anti-Semitic rhetoric.
But I ask, where has Mr. Trump’s true denunciation been—a public denunciation, heartfelt, and full of appropriate outrage and warning? The answer: nowhere. Instead, affirming his loyalty to Steve Bannon, he continues to need prodding to disavow hate groups into which he has breathed new life.
Meanwhile, he “also defended Breitbart,” the news site, “saying it was no different from The Times, only ‘much more conservative.’ ”
Now a rational human being isn’t supposed to find such blithe utterances—and all of this—terrifying?

Note from KBJ: Judging from the tone of this letter, there is nothing that Donald Trump could say or do that would persuade Steve Becker that he (Trump) is not a racist. Trump should ignore such creeps.
