The President failed the Presidential Test: False Equivalencies are inappropriate and his Alt Right supporters in the Administration have to go.

Yesterday, President Trump failed the Presidential Test by trying to blame yesterdays deadly protests in Charlottesville as a pox on all sides. Thankfully, virtually all sane political operatives from both major political parties called this what it was: domestic terrorism by alt right white nationalist nut jobs. Why did the President not come down more forcefully on these vermin? Maybe because he realizes these are the people that came out of their holes in the last election and helped provide the slim margins in the Rust Belt he needed for his electoral college victory.  Maybe because he has alt right advisors like Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, and Sebastian Gorka whispering in his ear in the West Wing. One of them (Gorka) even said the President would not comment on the recent Mosque bombing in Minnesota until all the facts were found out. What, the President needs all the facts before expressing sympathy for a horrific act against peaceful people who want a house of worship to pray in. Since when have facts restrained this administration? These three and their surrogates in the administration have to go and they needed to go yesterday. They have no place helping shape our country and their co believers in Charlottesville need to go back in the holes they came from and never be heard from again.
