He did condem the white supremacists explicitly. He was talking about people on both sides of the statue issue.
Here's the Presidents exact words form that event:
"Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group – excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”
After another question at that press conference, Trump became even more explicit:
“I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”
As you can see, the President explicitly condemned white supremacists and neo-nazis. To the extent that you don't think that's the case, is the extent the media manipulated you into believing a narrative.
Will you admit that the media narrative put forward about the "fine people" hoax (the claim that the President praised people he explicitly didn't) was false?
