President Donald Trump’s economic adviser Gary Cohn drafted a letter of resignation after the president’s comments on the Charlottesville attack by a white supremacist that killed one and injured many.
Cohn, a former Goldman Sachs executive who is Jewish, reportedly drafted the letter after the president said there was “good people on both sides” of the Charlottesville protests, according to the New York Times.
“Citizens standing up for equality and freedom can never be equated with white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the K.K.K.,” Cohn told the Financial Times on Thursday. “I believe this administration can and must do better in consistently and unequivocally condemning these groups and do everything we can to heal the deep divisions that exist in our communities.”
But he decided not to resign to spite the Nazis, he said.
“As a Jewish American, I will not allow neo-Nazis ranting ‘Jews will not replace us’ to cause this Jew to leave his job,” he told the Financial Times.
Cohn said that “the president’s agenda and calendar is going to revolve around tax reform,” starting next week.
But many on social media were not interested in that part of the interview.
They were angered by the fact that Cohn called the Antifa protesters “citizens standing up for equality and freedom.”
And they want him out of his job.

Emotional Sanders barely gets through powerful letter sent from father to his deployed soldier son
Perhaps Cohn ought to take a look at the new chapter of Antifa that is calling for a communist revolution in Philadelphia by stealing land and property and praising cop killers.
