This is one facet I find interesting about all this. One of the rallying we hear against Muslims is that they do not do enough to publicly renounce terrorist attacks, thus proving they support their actions.

Are republicans going vehemently and publicly renounce their vocal Nazi and White Nationalist contingent? Their leader only did grudgingly until he basically pulled it back the next day. Are his voters going to publicly and loudly state they disagree with Trump?

If not does that mean they support and agree with White Nationalism views? Or will they re-visit their excuse to label all Muslims terrorists?

Hypothetical of course, of course neither will happen and we'll all just continue to yell at each other with no tangible positive outcome.
