While President-elect Donald Trump has yet to denounce the alt-right by name, CNN's Chris Cuomo says he should.

"It's about being a leader," Cuomo said on "New Day" Tuesday. "You denounce things that are wrong. That's what leaders do."

He was responding to CNN political commentator John Phillips, who supported how Trump denounced "racism of any kind" after an alt-right leader urged people at a Trump victory gathering to "hail Trump" and "hail our people!" Trump did not, however, condemn the alt-right directly.

"We know the political game that his opponents try to use against him, which is they want Trump's name in the same headline as these kooks," Phillips said.
But Cuomo and CNN political commentator Christine Quinn were not satisfied with that answer.
"You don't think he would come out and denounce them the way he does anybody?" Cuomo asked. "He'll denounce The New York Times by name."
"Or the cast of 'Hamilton,'" Quinn added.

How's the guy who's supposed to still be leading our country doing on denouncing things that are wrong?

I'd have to look it up, but I'm pretty sure that Obama has denounced white racists before

They're trying real hard to squeeze as many as they can into this "alt right" bullschit which seems to have varied definitions person to person.

The lefts use of language as a weapon is truly pathetic and should be denounced by thinking leftists who have honor.

I think we all need to watch this, and learn from it. I am just as guilty, so I am going to try to do better, myself.

What do you believe? Why do you believe it? And can you communicate it to someone who disagrees with you in a persuasive way?

Representative Gowdy is correct in that you can't persuade anyone with insults. The left basically won the election for Trump by calling all his supporters racists, bigots, homophobes, xenophobes, misogynists, etc, etc.

Now that's irony.....lol...while trying to watch the Gowdy link, I was totally distracted by youtube's vid list on the right about what they'd stream next for me:


"Trey Gowdy tells Obama "F**K Off with Your Executive Order!""

lolololol

Why are all the Protests and wack-job nazi sympathizers Trumps fault???

Where the f*ck was Obama and Hillary denouncing all the violent "protests" from their supporters.

Just another media-spun drama to fill the air waves...

Right - good questions.

Trump spent month saying stupid sh1t and pizzing off almost anyone who isn't a low brow white conservative. So all kinds of people are protesting.

Obama and Clinton are letting Trump fight his own battles - as though he were a big boy. You didn't expect them to cover his azz for the next 4 years did you?

Actually, the media told YOU that Trump said stupid things.

Don't get me wrong. He DID say stupid things. But they aren't the stupid things that you're complaining about. And they're not the stupid things these protests are all about.

You say he's racist.
Because he went on a rant about illegal Mexican Immigrants. A rant that was LONG overdue. Because, well. Illegal.

He's a misogynist. Because of a taped moment of macho bravado to get a laugh. Successfully, I might add.

He's against LGBTQWXY.
Because what?
Pence???
Ok. that might be correct.

But it's not because of Trumps actions over his 6 decades on earth. Because that's not who he is. He's an equal opportunistic douche bag. He'd just as soon fire his own white-azz father as he would a gay mexican muslim.
the only thing he abhors is a poor performance.

Sorry to disrupt your CNN wet dream.
Carry on.

Guess Trump will denounce alt-right when the left denounces alt-left that is running around shooting and killing LEO's.

After that is taken care of we can address the fantasy fear that the left has created and is suffering from.

No, I was not trying to insult low-brow white conservatives.

I was hoping this would be an intellectual discussion.

Truthfully I don't watch CNN.

But you feel that many of the publicized stupid things he said are to be admired? Righteous?

Not really a good reason.

Denouncement of alt-left should come from the left. No negotiations should be required.

BTW, my kid was almost shot by some dude 10/2, luckily for my kid, another cop saw what was happening and dropped the perp in his tracks.
To the best of my knowledge the perp was just a typical ghetto thug. Politics played no part in it.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

Sincerely, glad your son is ok and hope he will continue to be safe.

I'm sure the alt-left had nothing to do with it in this day and age.
