- President blames troubles in the US on the ‘left wing’
- LeBron James and Steph Curry urge Americans to vote
- Trump focuses on base during dismal US election debate
Athletes reacted with bemusement and dismay after Donald Trump refused to condemn white supremacists during the US presidential debate on Tuesday night.
The US president was asked by moderator Chris Wallace if he condemned white supremacists and violence they have caused during recent protests across America. In reply, Trump pointedly did not criticise white supremacists, instead putting the blame for most of the trouble on left wing groups.
