Michael Savage: "I was very disappointed in the president attacking white supremacy"
Citation From the August 5 edition of Westwood One's The Savage Nation:
MICHAEL SAVAGE (HOST): I was very disappointed in the president attacking white supremacy. He is now saying everyone who is concerned about the illegal alien invasion is a white supremacist? He suddenly has joined who? He's like Jake Tapper now, and the rest on CNN. That was a mistake, Mr. President. I am sorry. That is going to cost you thousands, if not tens of thousands of votes. Listen again to the big mistake Donald Trump made today by not listening to the right people, not having wise men around him, but having fools around him.

SAVAGE: Do you understand what he just said? He has now combined racism, hatred, what else did he say? Condemn racism? We all agree with that, on all sides by the way, including Hispanic racism, Hispanic bigotry, of the type espoused almost daily by Occasional Cortex [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.] Muslim bigotry, Muslim racism must be condemned. There's a lot of this on all sides, it must be condemned. But then to single out and say "white supremacy" when the Toledo shooter, the motive is not even known yet. He shot his sister. The first one? OK yes, he was out to get Mexicans. He was insane.
