White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Monday defended President Trump's retweet a day earlier in which the president shared a video of a man in Florida shouting "white power," saying he did so to stand up for his supporters.

"The president did not hear that phrase in that portion of the video, and when it was signaled to him that this was in there he took that tweet down," McEnany told "Fox & Friends."

"But he made very clear to me that he stands with the people of The Villages, our great seniors, men and women in the Villages who support this president," she continued. "He stands for them and his point in tweeting out that video was to stand with his supporters who are oftentimes demonized."

Trump caused intense backlash on Sunday by approvingly sharing a video in which supporters in The Villages, a community for seniors in Florida, were seen clashing with protesters. Within the first 10 seconds of the video, a Trump supporter in a golf cart begins shouting "white power." The president deleted the tweet after several hours.

The poor demonized racists.

1. She went from "he didn't say it" to ok he did . . ..

These liars can't lie straight.

[Evolve Dammit]

2. THEY are "demonized"??? You've got to be fucking kidding me, you entitled white lying mouthpiece.

[maxsolomon]

10. Well, we dunk on MAGAts non-stop - for a damn good reason.

Every time they open their mouths they show their ass.

Their victimhood is an essential part of their identities.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Well if they weren't morally and ethically bankrupt racists who would sell Grandma for a buck....

but they are. And that never changes. They just double down and now it is coming to the violent part as they have been so ginned up to believe that they are the aggrieved, down trodden victims who are really the "chosen ones" (as 45 has articulated). Whatever happened to shared sacrafice and basic civility in the face of adversity like say, a global pandemic or systemic murder by police, or crippling poverty driven by vulture capitalism and decades of stagnant wages? Seems like we should have plenty of common ground here, unless you believe I've got mine, I want more and screw you. Sorry for the rant. Your last line is correct. OM.

[maxsolomon]

15. Their ignorance and fear precludes that common ground.

Everyone is shouting past each other, and Trumpists are in a thick bubble of disinformation.

There could be common ground found, but you have to be willing to listen. For us Libs, it would mean sitting patiently through a litany of CTs and meaningless "common wisdom" claptrap to demonstrate sincerity.

[Evolve Dammit]

19. You are patient and I do ulimtately believe, correct. I have tried in the past. What are CT's?

[Ingersollman]

21. Conspiracy

Theories

[Evolve Dammit]

28. thank you

[lagomorph777]

30. MAGAninny misspelled it: meant to say "demonic."

[Evolve Dammit]

32. "MAGAninny"! Good one

[KPN]

3. Bullshit. nt

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Whiny b*tch just like her boss

Drama Queens run in the family

[Botany]

5. So Trump was standing up for his supporters? aka The man shouting "White Power."

Now why would anybody demonize white racists and trump supporters? Such good people.

[2naSalit]

7. +1

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

31. Apparently they couldnt find a supporter who wasnt shouting white power - :LOL nt

[Docreed2003]

6. Lmao...

Way to twist yourself into a pretzel there Kayleigh! "Oh he's just supporting his supporters, but he didn't agree with the video because he didn't hear it"...lmao, bullshit! It's plain as day in the video! I have to laugh at how the party of "Personal Responsibility" continues to expose themselves all in the attempt to cover for their man-child hero. It's just amazing and more people are beginning to see through this facade.

[maxsolomon]

11. He didn't watch it. Or listen to it.

He just re-tweeted it.

HE IS NOT GOOD AT HIS JOB.

[Docreed2003]

12. 👆exactly

It's either, as you say, he didn't watch or listen...or he did. So which is it? He's a doddering old fool who is randomly retweeting things he thinks supports his cause...or, does he readily support the message in the video! That's the only choice.

[maxsolomon]

13. He won't do the work

to listen to something like that, or even to have his staff vet it before he hits send.

He's the laziest Preznit in my lifetime.

[DanieRains]

8. Who Would Want To Demonize Ignorant Racist White Trash KKK Filth?

Nobody I know surely.

How come "White Power" asshole wasn't flying the stars and bars? We need an investigation....

[citizen blues]

9. Stupid is as Stupid does

Clueless! Doesn't get that the whole point is that he stands with a bunch of white supremacists.

Can't wait to get people in the executive branch that aren't completely amoral and have an IQ higher than a house plant! (apologies to house plants.)

[hibbing]

16. "when it was signaled to him"

Ugh, who uses language like that. You mean when one of his lackeys realized it and told the dipstick?

Peace

[cp]

17. Can't be demonized if you're already a demon.

[Grins]

18. "standing up for his supporters". I believe that.

“...saying he did so to stand up for his supporters.”

Oh, I believe that. Look at who his supporters are!

[beachbumbob]

20. official recognition of wanting white supremacist supporters, now we can move on

and crush trump and the gOP Nov 3rd

[OilemFirchen]

22. I am profoundly hard of hearing.

"White power" is one the few things I did hear.

Maybe he didn't hear it because he was screaming the same throughout the entire video?

[samsingh]

23. supporters who are rascist

Mcenima admits it

[CRK7376]

24. When is the orange dotard going to stand with

Black, Brown, Yellow, Red, Green(Soldiers) and Multiracial people he demonizes?

[pfitz59]

25. The Villages is 98% white

https://www.villages-news.com/2020/06/27/the-villages-is-98-2-percent-white/#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20U.S.%20Census%20Bureau%2C%20the%20population,white%2C%2016.9%25%20Black%2C%203%25%20Asian%2C%20and%2026.1%25%20Hispanic.
Boxed in, locked up, gated and removed from society. A festering blister of aging racists.

[BigmanPigman]

27. Are you referring to their famously high STD rates?

[Delphinus]

26. He stands

only with his supporters - the rest of us are not important.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

29. "his supporters who are oftentimes demonized" ONLY BECAUSE they tend to be white power extremists!

This lady isnt really doing much to convince us that his supporters ARENT white power extremists! I mean, if they cant find a supporter who ISNT shouting white power, then we might tend to think ALL his supporters are white power extremists.

And therefore deserve to be demonized. For at least the last 70 yrs (since ww2 )nazis and white power extremists HAVE BEEN DEMONIZED in the USA. Thats what we do. We're not stopping now
