“These aren’t my voters,” the president has said repeatedly, dismissing protesters in discussions with aides about how to respond over nearly 3 weeks of unrest.
After another meeting where the president remarked that “these aren’t my voters,” some of his aides expressed concern about how “out of touch” he seemed to be on race relations, according to a person familiar with the comments.
The competing advice from the president’s allies doesn’t split neatly between White House and campaign officials, but rather represents a hodgepodge of advisers on either side. It has created dueling public White House narratives. NASCAR — whose then-CEO endorsed Trump in the 2016 election — announced Wednesday, for instance, that it wasbecause the banner's presence “runs contrary to our commitment to providing a welcome and inclusive environment for all of our fans.” Trump, who appeared at a NASCAR event at the Daytona International Speedway in February, has not commented on that decision., even using a racial slur on Thursday to criticize Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s proposal to do so.
Before Trump expressed his firm opposition to the idea on Wednesday, McCarthy had planned to create a task force to review streets and buildings on military installations that are named after Confederate soldiers. As part of the review, the Army planned to reach out to the rank-and-file soldiers to get their opinions on the matter. Now the task force is on hold, according to two defense officials, with no plans to revisit the issue.
