White supremacists and alt-right leader, Richard Spencer says that President Trump’s denouncement of hate groups was not serious.

Trump’s comments came two days after facing criticism for blaming “many sides” for the violence that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia during a white supremacist rally over the weekend.

“Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans," Trump said on Monday.

But according to Spencer Trump’s statement was nonsense.

"You can say racism is evil; we should all love one another; the sun should always shine, seven days a week; everyone should be above average; everyone should be a wonderful athlete; everyone should love each other. It’s just silliness,” Spencer said.

Trump's recent actions on Twitter may have added to the thought that the president wasn't "serious" in his denouncement statement. Trump tweeted that the media would "never be satisfied" shortly after making the comments.

The president also retweeting a message from Jack Posobiec, an alt-right conspiracy theorist .
