they're not pleased. of course, one of the biggest moments that everyone's still talking about is when frump failed to condemn white supremacists and instead told them to stand back and stand by here is some reaction to that comment. >> it was really a sad night for our country in that the president of the united states would not dissociate himself from white supremacists. >> sir, should the president have condemned white supremacists last night at the debate >> of course of course. >> i think he misspoke i think he should correct it if he doesn't correct it, i guess he didn't misspeak >> donald trump blew the biggest lay-up in the history of debates by saying -- not condemning white supremacists. >> jimmy: yeah, it's not good when you ask the president if he'll condemn white supremacy and the "jeopardy!" music starts playing in his head while he thinks it over. ♪ ♪ [ laughter ]
