What Trump’s first response to the Charlottesville carnage says about his moral compass

President Donald Trump’s moral compass isn’t
working. The needle’s spinning wildly, but the leader of the free world just
can’t find moral north.
The latest example of his moral senility came
in the wake of the white nationalist and Nazi atrocities in Charlottesville
this weekend. On Friday night, torch-wielding supremacists descended on the
college town, chanting slogans such as “Jews will not replace us,” many of them
giving the Nazi salute.
The event looked like a hybrid of a KKK lynch
mob and a Nazi book-burning ceremony. The tweeter-in-chief’s response was …
silence. The next morning, hundreds of heavily armed white supremacists
descended on the town again. From the loud-mouth president … more silence.
