Trump calls out violence 'on both sides'.
The Fake News media loses their mind.
Trump's Epic Presser Clarifies Three Truths That Have Driven The MSM Insane
"
I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists."
That's the only thing I don't agree with that Trump said in the press conference/rant/tirade. I find it hard to get on board with "many" non-racists (or even one or two) joining up with an announced and permitted group of white supremacists, who were chanting white supremacist slogans and not pro-statue slogans, if they didn't share the same sentiments as the core group. Even if you want to stretch cedulity as far as possible and allow that some of the people in the group of white supremacists were not white supremacists, they became white supremacists the moment they joined with that group. The same is true on the left. Many of the counter protesters weren't Antifa, but they became a member of that group the moment they joined with them.
Trump correctly condemned both sides, but to the Left the counter-protesters get a full and complete pass on any violence because they were being violent against white supremacists. This despite the many real-time tweets from those on the left that made it crystal clear that the first volleys of violence originated with the counter-protesters.
What we saw in Charlottesville was a classic display of socialists fighting facists. And because most of the Left and the Media are socialists, they have no interest in entertaining any semblance of impartiality. The KKK wackos on their Web sites recount the event as if they were innocent and pure, just minding their own business and exercising their Constitutional rights, and were attacked without cause. The Media is reporting the exact opposite. Both are to blame.
I gotta tell you, if you show up to a KKK rally, be you a white nationalist or a counter protester, you pretty much deserve whatever the f**k happens to you. Granted, Heather Heyer didn't deserve to be run over by a car, but if you go on vacation to North Korea, go hiking in the mountains in Afghanistan or go to a white nationalist rally, you'll get no sympathy from me if things go bad.
I think we should rent out the New Orleans Superdome (or some other appropriate large facility, maybe several of them around the country at once) for a white supremacist rally, and use taxpayer dollars to provide transportation to as many racists and counter protesters who wish to attend, and once they're all inside the building, just lock the doors.
On the Confederate battle flag, that flag was retired in disgrace and put away after the Civil War, because the South lost and that's what happens with the battle flags of the defeated. Strom Thurmond resurrected that flag as part of his candidacy in opposition to the Civil Rights Movement as a symbol of racism. So that flag needs to be put away and reserved for memorial ceremonies and museums.
Virtually every Civil War statue that was erected in the 1960s, and there are a lot of them, were erected in protest of the Civil Rights Movement. They all need to come down. All of the Civil War statues and monuments that were created between the end of the Civil War about 1940 are historical markers and should be left alone, as important reminders of good and bad, regardless of why they were created in the first place. Attempts to erase history never turn out well.
