It seems Shareblue's Oliver Willis, formerly of Media Matters, missed a few days in U.S. History class. Here's his take on why President Trump waited "72 hours" to take on the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville with a shout-out to President Franklin D. Roosevelt:

More at link. Sorry, but my work computer blocks Twitchy for some reason so transcribing from my phone.

[Mr. K]

PRESIDENT TRUMP
IGNORE THE MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can people ignore his point. FDR declared war on the Germans the day after they bombed Pearl Harbor. (as per Animal House)

[Terry L Smith]

There was an entire “original Nazi organization” working within the U.S., BEFORE the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. There were Nazi youth camps across the U.S., including Long Island, N.Y. There were espionage rings operating within American manufacturing companies.

And, all of this is happening in 1939.

How long a time between 1939 and 1941?
More than 72 hours!!!

By all odds, FDR was one of the most opportunistic and multi-faced Presidents ever to serve, and even when sick, old and dying, would not retire gracefully from the stage.

Literally carried out feet first.

And, evidently, huge Nazi rallies in Madison Square Garden.

The best response so far:

A tweet that will live in infamy.

They also tok to the streets of NYC

October 30, 1939. "German-American Bund parade on East 86th Street." New York World-Telegram photo (Library of Congress).         Gerhard Kunze, leader of the German-American Bund, fled to Mexico in November 1941, with plans to evacuate to Germany by submarine. Instead he was captured by federal agents and sentenced to 15 years in prison for espionage; his predecessor, the Munich-born Fritz Kuhn, was arrested, stripped of his citizenship, imprisoned and, after the war was over, deported to Germany, where he died in 1951.

Liberals are not the brightest bulbs on the tree nor the sharpest knives in the drawer.

But they think they are.

They always said Obama was the smartest person in the room.

Well, look who else was in the room................

[laconic]

His tweet will swirl in stupidity, that’s for sure. FDR also refused to take action to even try to bomb the death camps, despite clear and convincing evidence of what was going on at Auschwitz and elsewhere. Jan Karski, a Polish Christian interned there who escaped to London, had photographic evidence and pleaded that the camps be bombed but it fell on deaf ears.

Dear excellence,

re: “And, evidently, huge Nazi rallies in Madison Square Garden.”

I guess you can’t fix Stupid, bu the way thy entire Democrat Leadership fully supported Adolf Hitler, see Joe Kennedy,Henry Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Chase,... The list is ENDLESS!!. Don’t worry most of the Republican Leadership supported Hitler too

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Just a hair split but I can’t find a clear answer on the web as to who declared war 1st on December 11, 1941. Some sources say Italy and Germany, others say it was us.

[jmaroneps37]

FDR was a communist sympathizer who used Gus Hall’s endorsement to win and in return made his Soviet agent wife’s immigration problem go away by forcing Canada to go along with the fraud.

History is being rewritten every day.

[fella]

FDR infiltrated the Federal government with communists including his Vive President Henry A. Wallace. The Manhattan Project soviet spies got in on his watch too.

[TheNext]

USA declared war first by provoking Japan to attack.
