'Hostage video': Internet flays 'too little, too late' Trump for uncomfortable 'racism is evil' speech

Three days after the death of a counter-protester at a white nationalist march in Charlottesville, President Donald Trump finally called out the white supremacists and neo-Nazis who attended, saying" racism is evil."


Trump's second address to the nation was considered to be damage control after his disastrous speech on Sunday when he tried to spread the blame for violence "on many sides."

Trump's apparent discomfort with the speech -- read from a teleprompter -- caused one commentator to say he read the speech, "like he was recording a hostage video."

Many on Twitter agreed, with some calling it "too little, too late."
