Trump Is Criticized for Not Calling Out White Supremacists<br />Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor and the father of the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, did not dispute Mr. Trump’s comments directly,<br />but he called the behavior of white nationalists in Charlottesville “evil.”<br />Democrats have suggested that Mr. Trump is simply unwilling to alienate the segment of his white electoral base that embraces bigotry.<br />President Trump speaking Saturday from his golf club in Bedminster, N. J., about the violence in Charlottesville,<br />Va., where a state of emergency was called after white nationalists clashed with counterprotesters.<br />But like several other statements Mr. Trump made on Saturday, the tweet made no mention<br />that the violence in Charlottesville was initiated by white supremacists brandishing anti-Semitic placards, Confederate battle flags, torches and a few Trump campaign signs.<br />Mr. Trump, the product of a well-to-do, predominantly white Queens enclave who in 1989 paid for a full-page ad in calling for the death penalty for five black teenagers convicted<br />but later exonerated of raping a white woman in Central Park, flirted with racial controversy during the 2016 campaign.
