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."
