quote:

President Trump promoted a video Sunday that includes a Trump supporter shouting “white power” at counterprotesters, calling his supporters at the Florida retirement community where the demonstration occurred “great people.”

The tweet of the video has since been removed, and a White House spokesman said Trump had not heard the racist language when he sent the morning tweet. It is the latest example of the president and allies using language that smacks of racism or references white supremacist views or symbols.

But that hasn’t quelled the outrage over the posting. “There’s no question: He should not have retweeted it; he should just take it down,” Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.), the only black Republican senator, said Sunday morning, shortly before the tweet was deleted.

“I think it’s indefensible,” Scott said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
