Man Yells 'White Power' in Video Retweeted, Then Deleted, by Trump

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Over the weekend, President Donald Trump retweeted a video of Trump supporters at a Florida protest. In the video, a man is seen and heard yelling "white power." The president has since deleted the retweet, but not without widespread scrutiny. The White House said the president did not hear the phrase initially; White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said the president was standing up for his supporters in Florida and elsewhere who've purportedly been "demonized." Coverage from right-rated outlets concentrated more on Trump's expressed justifications for initially posting the video. Some left-rated voices cited the retweet as another example of Trump's purportedly racist agenda; some right-rated voices reflected on the news by decrying what they argue to be the ills of identity politics.
