Not quite to the same nefarious level as Obama's wingman (fast and furious) and Hillary's gun running in Libya, but absolutely out of the same playbook (rules for radicals).

You could post rush limbaugh everyday “whatever the left is accusing you of doing, they in fact, are actually doing themselves.”

They should have been more open about it, like Israel's funding of Hamas.
You create the boogieman, fund the boogieman, then destroy those associated with the boogieman and take what you were after all along.

Did I just hear correctly?
The SLPC funded the white supremacy groups in Charlottesville to the tune of a quarter of million bucks?

Same with me. I’ve been around a lot of honkeys in my life and never found evidence of such a thing still in existence.
Even if they still exist the definition of racism has changed. To limit the label to whiteys, black racists redefined racism to having power that they use in conjunction with their prejudice.
The KKK has no power. Therefore not racist.

The only white supremacists or neo Nazis I’ve ever met were white trash ex cons that were part of Aryan Nation in prison and that’s really no different than MS13 or the Crips. Just a way for criminal losers to feel a part of something. Any true white supremacists with institutional power (heads of big businesses or holding public office) have been long gone

The misrepresentation of Trump's August 15, 2017, Charlottesville remarks became a near-universal talking point across the Democratic Party, its leadership, elected officials, and aligned media figures at the time. Prominent Democrats including then-former Vice President Joe Biden (who launched his 2020 presidential campaign around it, calling it a moment of "moral equivalence" between hate and those opposing it), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN, then DNC deputy chair), and countless others in Congress repeatedly cited the claim that Trump had called neo-Nazis and white supremacists "very fine people."

This was not limited to a few voices; it was the party's coordinated narrative, echoed in speeches, tweets, impeachment arguments, and campaign materials for years afterward.

What Trump Actually Said (Full Context)For accuracy: Trump had already condemned "hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides" and explicitly denounced "the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists" as "repugnant" in prior statements.
In the August 15 press conference, he said:"You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group... that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue... But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists... And I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally."
politifact.com
The "very fine people on both sides" referred to non-violent protesters debating the Robert E. Lee statue on one side and (some) counter-protesters on the other—not the torch-carrying neo-Nazis or violent extremists (whom he separated out). Multiple fact-checkers, including Snopes in 2024, have confirmed the claim that Trump called neo-Nazis "very fine people" is false.

Republicans Who Voiced Outrage
While many GOP leaders condemned white supremacy and the violence in general terms without directly attacking Trump (e.g., Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said "there are no good neo-Nazis"), a notable group of prominent Republicans publicly criticized Trump's "both sides" and "very fine people" comments specifically. They accused him of moral equivalence, failing to clearly denounce white supremacists, or equivocating—often based on the truncated media framing of the quote rather than the full transcript.

Here are the most prominent Republicans who voiced such outrage in August 2017 (with key quotes where available):Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO): "Mr. President—we must call evil by its name. These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism." (He echoed this after Trump's full remarks.)

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL): Called events a "terror attack by #whitesupremacists" and pushed Trump to clearly label it as such.

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT): "We should call evil by its name. My brother didn't give his life fighting Hitler for Nazi ideas to go unchallenged here at home."

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC): Said Trump "took a step backward by again suggesting there is moral equivalency" between white supremacists/neo-Nazis/KKK and counter-protesters; told Trump to "correct the record."

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC): Criticized Trump's remarks for lacking "clarity and moral authority," saying it compromised that authority. (Scott later met with Trump privately about race relations.)

I think it’s racist of you to even allude that the racists in those marches were more racist than the actual racists that paid them to be racist to create more racism for the race baiters to cry about.
