 Trump: Both Sides Deserve Blame in Charlottesville Deaths

Tuesday, 15 Aug 2017 04:17 PM




Breaking:
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said both sides were to blame in the clashes in Virginia over the weekend, adding that protesters on the political left violently attacked white nationalists rallying against a decision to remove a Confederate statue.

Trump had been sharply criticized for his initial comments blaming "many sides" for the violence in Charlottesville, but on Monday had explicitly condemned right-wing racist elements.

"They came at each other with clubs ... it was a horrible thing to watch," Trump told reporters in response to questions in the lobby of Trump Tower, before adding that left-wing protesters "came violently attacking the other group."

I hope you all had a chance to watch this presser.

POTUS was very good talking down and lecturing the MSM although it won't be reported as such.

Right up there with his speech in Poland as far as clarity, coherence and staying on message.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

I agree with a lot of his messages, but... as President he shouldn't be saying them. This will just further divide the country.

I don't see how it can be any further divided.

Oh it can. Trump probably just doubled antifa's membership.

One highlight was taking a shot at McCain over his kill  vote on repeal.

In response to a question of how he thought infrastructure bill would pass if health bill did not.

[dfwgator]

Oh it can. Trump probably just doubled antifa's membership.

That's the media doing that.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

That's the media doing that.

They're complicit, but Trump walked right into their trap.

What are you supposed to do when the media is making the Antifas out to be the second-coming of "The White Rose"?

Trap? Trump actually eviscerated those monomaniacs.

Had he prepared, he could have skillfully played the media, but yet again, they played him like a fiddle.

I disagree.  He was absolutely spot on.  He's calling it as he sees it without a whole lot of bias. The alt LEFT was just as guilty and the MSM FAILED as usual to report that information. 

President Trump has backbone and is not afraid to stand up to the alt left and the MSM and also not afraid to stand up to the alt right.  It's about time.  This country needs someone with a backbone.

Who listens to the MSM these days and actually believes anything that they report?

Thanks for the video RIV.

Yes, yes he did.

Like Churchill doubled Nazi membership. If only Winnie had shut up!

Thanks for the link.  I watched it.  Gotta say, Trump was masterful and I agreed with everything he said.

President Trump is totally the person who should be making this message.  Who else if not the President and, I was impressed.  Maybe he should appoint himself press secretary.

It's strange because we see two different Trumps.  We see the man who made this speech, the man who stood by his viewpoint, who never got angry but did not let the press intimidate or bully him but continued to make his points.

If only this were the only Trump we see.  I really wish it were.  But there is a little demon inside him that take over at 3 AM and does damage to all the good things he does.

Well, maybe at 3 .am. he's kept awake by all the b.s. that's being thrown at him.  Not giving him a pass, but on this issue he should be given tremendous credit.  He waited till he had the facts to fully comment.

Not a problem; I, myself have blocked the Weird guy, though comments do show up in other's posts sometimes.
