President Donald Trump declined to clearly condemn white supremacist groups and their role in violence in some American cities this summer during Tuesday's debate, instead branding it solely a "left-wing" problem. "Almost everything I see is from the left wing, not from the right," Trump said. He was responding to a question from moderator Chris Wallace, who asked the president if he would condemn white supremacist and militia groups that have showed up at some protests. Wallace specifically mentioned Kenosha, Wisconsin, where a white teenager was charged with shooting two protesters during demonstrations over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in August. Trump has repeatedly blamed "antifa" which stands for anti-fascists, and other groups affiliated with the political left.
