The optics are bad for Trump but who can deny Antifa trying to shut down free speech? Those supremacist are scum of the earth but to give Antifa a free pass is just as wrong. The media is saying, "this is a false equivalence".

It's not and as the President he can't condone violence on either side. The media is condoning violence by the alt left because White Supremacist have to be shut down at any cost and the constitution be damned.

Trump is absolutely 100% correct on this issue
Both sides were to blame However the left were the ones looking to bring the violence. So glad our president has the balls to speak the truth and stick it up the media's arse!
If you disagree you are simply burying your head in the sand and that fine by me
Media and the left are in complete melt down mode again because DJT will not back down and that's why we voted for him
So frick all of you on the left!

Thing is Trump still hasn't taken a "side" as far as I can see. It's problematic even from my point of view because I have been the harshest critic on his statement on Saturday. Still, he has the obligation to call out Antifa as well.

The message could have been more eloquently delivered. Too much back ground noise in What he said. Example

"Neo Nazis and White supremicists are disgusting and have no place in our society. On the other side, you also have Antifa acting in an aggressive manner and playing a role in escalating the violence we saw on Saturday. Violence..even that against a message we disagree with, doesn't make it a noble cause and has no place in a civilized society."

It could have been cleaned up and stated in a way that allowed less room for media and lefties to insert their agenda.

Since when is shutting down free speech such a crime around here?

Trump wants to gut the first amendment opening up the libel laws. Not a single frick was given around here when that was being talked about.

Topical politics when the shoe fits,
Nothing else to see here.

Shutting down speech with violence is what Antifa does. This entire thing just got escalated by the media for placing zero blame at their feet.

Antifa are just "freedom fighters" fighting fascism, shutting down speech they disagree with using violence, just like any good American should want them to.

Antifa decides who the Nazis and fascists are.

How could anybody be opposed to Antifa?

BamaAtl wouldn't even acknowledge their history of using violence to silence opposition

Never forget Berkeley

the only reason why ANTIFA-types haven't killed somebody is luck. they have frickED UP some people, including head shots with heavy chains/bike locks

I'm not condoning antifa in anyway, violence is not a solution.

But let's not get carried away acting like we're some kind of bastions of liberty when we're glad to give up those freedoms when it's convenient. Sorry, I'm just not buying it, nobody gets to have it both ways.

Good for you for sticking to your principles, seriously. I welcome your downvote on my post then.

But if what you say is true you know that was not the overall tone or opinion of this board. Some revisionist will try and say otherwise but they know that's a lie.

PS 17.5? How many Courics is that?!
