“The New York Times has quietly backed off of its claim that August, 1619, when the first slaves were brought to Virginia–not July 4, 1776–is America’s “true founding’….Historians savaged the project, showing that these claims are simply untrue. Liberal historians joined conservative historians in debunking the project. It turns out, the New York Times ignored the report of its own fact-checker!” - Veith

SI community. As you know I am and have been a supporter of President Trump. But the part of the debate where the president was asked to condemn white supremacists concerned me in particular. First, let me say I was disappointed because it should have been obvious to Trump that he was going to be asked this question.
