One of America's most prominent black CEOs quit President Trump's manufacturing council on Monday over Trump's failure to condemn white supremacists.

Kenneth Frazier of Merck said in a statement: "America's leaders must honor our fundamental values by clearly rejecting expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy."

Within minutes, Trump attacked him on Twitter, saying Frazier's resignation will give him "more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!"

 

Frazier did not mention the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, in his statement, but he did say that "as a matter of personal conscience, I feel a responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism."

That appeared to be a reference to Trump's statement over the weekend blaming violence "on many sides" after neo-Nazis and white nationalists clashed with counter-protesters.

No worries...as per usual, someone will come out of the White House with a written or vocal disclaimer about what Trump "really" meant.

 

His aides need to store written disclaimers to excuse his behavior on a rolodex somewhere....

 

Seems every time the man speaks, someone has to explain what he "really meant" to us less-educated folks.  Shame he can't ever mean what he says, according to his own aides.  SAD!
