That's not the issue here. They are attacking the president because he dared to call out the left as well. They are attacking like he's leading some Nazi regime with tens of millions of white followers.


that's a strange interpretation of it. from what i've seen, he's being called out for saying the side throwing up nazi salutes had some very good people and morally equating the racists with the people showing up to counter-protest racism, especially when the former killed one and injured 18 of the latter.

if he'd started out by saying something as simple as: racism has no place in america and we must prevent violence in political protest, no matter the side, he wouldn't be getting it like he is.

Except that he didn't say that. He specifically excluded him. You should read the transcript.

You sound like that gotcha attempting reporter during the speech.

Don't be unhinged. Read it. If you need to add your nuance that he meant something different that's fine. Just say you are interpreting it the way you want for nuance's sake.

Don't be dishonest.

He said there were good people at the event, and there undoubtedly was.

There were obviously plenty of locals and interested parties there that just wanted to people watch and check out the event.

There were likely people protesting the statue removal that had nothing to do with the nazis and white supremacists.

The were good people protesting the entire event.

Why do you think, out of thousands of diverse people -- including locals -- that there were NO good people?

You are obviously falling prey to your liberals overlords and not actually thinking for yourself (or even listening).
