Theodore Roosevelt, became President when President McKinley was assassinated. One thing that he did was to have the Negro leader, Booker T. Washington to lunch at the White House. He had previously had Blacks in his famous Rough Riders. Although Roosevelt had not taken a public position in inter-racial marriage, in the South, and much of rest of the country, accusing someone of favoring miscegenation was as serious an insult as there was. The accusation was used to attack anyone who did not favor segregation, lynching and Jim Crow in the same way that people who favored Medicare or Labor Unions were called “communists”. Cardamon himself was the target of many for his disrespectful and gross description of the president. See Quotation
President Trump did not personally believe in the tenets of White Supremacism, but a significant part of his political base did. His public approval in his first year in office was the lowest in history since such were measured, and he was desparate to hold on the the support of his base. So, unlike most Republicans who castigated and condemned White Supremacism and other hate groups, and the alt-Right, Trump not only remained silent, but actually tried to create a moral equivelence between some of the White Supremacists and some of the Left Wingers who were protesting the White Supremicists. Trump insisted that he did not condone or encourage hate groups or white supramacy advocates, but most of the public did, and, most importantly, they thougth that he did and gave him public credit for that as in this quotation.
