Yea -- interesting does that mean BLM will get sued for the peaceful riots ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
... Sorry to piss up your thread, Yssup.Trump also said Obama was born in Kenya and kept repeating it until his daughter (or someone else) made him retract it.
But truth and honesty DO matter to me.

Trump: "I’m not putting anybody on a moral plane. What I’m saying is this: You had a group on one side and you had a group on the other, and they came at each other with clubs -- and it was vicious and it was horrible. And it was a horrible thing to watch.
"But there is another side. There was a group on this side. You can call them the left -- you just called them the left -- that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that’s the way it is.
Reporter: (Inaudible) "… both sides, sir. You said there was hatred, there was violence on both sides. Are the --"
Trump: "Yes, I think there’s blame on both sides. If you look at both sides -- I think there’s blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, and you don’t have any doubt about it either. And if you reported it accurately, you would say."
Reporter: "The neo-Nazis started this. They showed up in Charlottesville to protest --"
Trump: "Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves -- and 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. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name."
Some rambling about taking down presidents that owned slaves
"So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.
"Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people. But you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets, and with the baseball bats. You had a lot of bad people in the other group."
Reporter: "Sir, I just didn’t understand what you were saying. You were saying the press has treated white nationalists unfairly? I just don’t understand what you were saying."
Trump: "No, no. There were people in that rally -- and I looked the night before -- if you look, there were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. I’m sure in that group there were some bad ones. The following day it looked like they had some rough, bad people -- neo-Nazis, white nationalists, whatever you want to call them.
"But you had a lot of people in that group that were there to innocently protest, and very legally protest -- because, I don’t know if you know, they had a permit. The other group didn’t have a permit. So I only tell you this: There are two sides to a story. I thought what took place was a horrible moment for our country -- a horrible moment. But there are two sides to the country.
"Does anybody have a final --
Reporter: "What makes you think you can get an infrastructure bill? You didn’t get health care --
Trump: "Well, you know, I’ll tell you. We came very close with health care. Unfortunately, John McCain decided to vote against it at the last minute. You’ll have to ask John McCain why he did that. But we came very close to health care. We will end up getting health care. But we’ll get the infrastructure. And actually, infrastructure is something that I think we’ll have bipartisan support on. I actually think Democrats will go along with the infrastructure."
Reporter: "Mr. President, have you spoken to the family of the victim of the car attack?"
Trump: "No, I’ll be reaching out. I’ll be reaching out."
The issue with what people take from his statement is that he still said that neo-nasis were comprised of some very fine people. It’s clear what was being asked of him on multiple occasions by the reporter. There’s questions even before this portion about the neo-nazis that were there and he chose to try to redirect and change the subject of the question.
What he coulda said is “neo-nazis are bad. The folks carrying tiki torches are bad. Racists are bad. If you’re arching around saying Jews will never replace us you’re bad. And even though I believe you are as anti-American as they come, you have a right to assemble and protest. But when you promote violence, we will seek you out to arrest you and jail you. And those of you that contributed to the murder of the young lady, we will seek you out as well and bring you to justice.”
But he was incapable of bringing himself to say any of that. He needed to create a moral equivalence between the actions of the right and left. That’s why people attacked his words.
By the way, did he ever get around to that infrastructure bill. Or healthcare bill. Did he pass anything significant? Asking for a friend. Originally Posted by NoirMan
