“You had people that were… very fine people on both sides Fine people on both sides. I think there is blame on both sides. You look at both sides. I think there is blame on both sides. I have no doubt about it and you have no doubt about either.” President Donald Trump on the KKK / NAZI / White Supremacist / anti Semitic / Confederate demonstration in Charlottesville. Not David Duke, Ted Nugent or Heinrich Himmler but the President of the United States.
Note: He repeated “BOTH SIDES” four times in 12 seconds.
Also lost in the story was the racists who brought guns and assault rifles to intimidate the equally bad side of Jews and Christians praying together in a synagogue as torch bearing Nazis marched outside. Fine people.
But Trevor Noah runs with the biggest story on this which is of course that over two thirds of Republicans agree with Donald Trump, David Duke, Ted Nugent and Heinrich Himmler on this.
Not to mention the history of anti fascists who disagree with him. The US Army, the US Navy, the US Marines, the US Air force, every WW2 veteran and all of England and France. Oh sorry, forgot Generals Eisenhower, Patton and MacArthur.
