Lefty fact-checker confirms Biden lied about Charlottesville

Maybe DJT is just such a better option that even those he condemns are supporting him?

In 2016, we fact-checked a claim that "Trump refuses to denounce the KKK." We rated the statement Mostly False

But both candidates don't invite "bad people" to dinner, or tell them to "stand by." 

I've already read all the "fact checking" related to Trump statements.
I have not disputed that Trump has denounced the KKK and neo Nazis when pressed.
Ok to stop "proving" that now. 

My question is why, after hearing the condemnations Trump is pressured to give, do White Supremacists groups still support him? 

Prominent alt right leader Richard Spencer thought Trump's condemnation of white supremacists at Charlottesville wasn't genuine.

On Oct. 2, 2020, Trump again was pressured to condemn "all white supremacists, including the Proud Boys," which he did.  https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN26N0AB/. But they still considered themselves his shock troops on 1/6.

Not unfair to ask why he seems "just such a better option" to those mostly single-issue voters.  Some do complain
that he doesn't go far enough or is too little too late. Plus he let his daughter marry a Jew.  
But the rest think they see some important alignment between their agenda and his policies which has been
lacking in presidential candidates since Wallace.
