    He was using it (twice) to refer to antifa which has a large number of blacks. If he had done so mistakenly all he needed to say was, "that's not what I meant" instead of talking about "there people" and "resist."
    Both sides of the political spectrum need to realize that love of country is not shown by violence or by name calling.

    Okay, hugging flags and being an abusive strongman doesn't make you patriotic. It makes you a nut.

    Trump is making ridiculous fools of all of you and destroying the country in the process.

    Trump thrives on self-serving platitudes that are more about his ego than the country itself. He doesn't care about the country; he only cares about how nationalistic overtures play for the cameras.

    Antifa maybe one of the most violent hate groups in America but the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is one of the most powerful hate groups that spreads fear (terror) through the liberal communities.

    Being a patriot (nationalist) one is usually proud and feels somewhat superior to America's enemies.

    Trump hated the concept of American exceptionalism, and said so, until he took office. His "patriotism" is about himself, not the country.

    Let me see, that's right, Antifa had a problem with a Jew opening a delicatessen in Boyle Heights (that's just east of downtown L.A.) and they protested while hiding their faces.

    Antifa had a large presence at the anti Jewish boycott/protest in Boyle Heights.

    The SPLC never had the cajones to be seen in public.

    They hide in a building in Montgomery, Alabama and in courtrooms.

    When the SPLC needs some muscle they depend on Antifa, MS-13 or the Dykes on Bikes mc.

    They've been attacking people who look like they may support Trump. Portland is no longer a safe place for bearded white dudes.

    I not only ran into the KKK, I went to war with them in a small, rural town. I knew too much so they started threatening me. What a bunch of idiots. The saddest part was that they beat the crap out of one of our goats. And even the cops were involved. But one call to the DOJ was the end of that problem.

    Nothing like calling anti fascists fascists.

    Yet more trumpian logic from his brilliant base of bigots and fools.

    Yet the fail to notice the apparent lack of fascist actions on both sides. Misinformation is not fascism in itself but t the same time it is not freedom...

    The Russia threat is never over. Possible or potential collusion and obvious interference is just the surface threat.

    Of course not misinformation is a tool of Fascists, Communists, intelligence agencies, propaganda agencies, advertising agencies, religious cults and such ilk.

    "Let me see"? Did this story just pop into your head? Or are you involved in all this stuff? Are you a Proud Boy or something? Who, in general, would be aware of this?

    Anyway, I looked it up and found this:

    http://alianzacontraartwashing.org/en/coalition-statements/jewish-solidarity-for-bh/

    Real anti-Semitism is an abomination, and Boyle Heights has historically recognized it as such. The 1938 Anti-Nazi Parade was organized by numerous Jewish organizations, who represented the then-majority population of Boyle Heights [3]. The rally comprised a wider multi-ethnic coalition, with representatives from the Jewish community and the Black community, as well as the Chicano and Japanese communities—all of whom were redlined out of white neighborhoods in the process of racial segregation [4].

    It is dangerous to make these false accusations, when actual anti-Semitic beliefs are peddled by Proud Boys and other white supremacist, neo-Nazi organizations who are becoming more active in Los Angeles as a result of Trump’s policies & popularity [5]. There is now a well-documented history of using these claims of anti-Semitism to veil legitimate protest against the violent apartheid of the Israeli state, and the US government has been making moves to squelch these forms of speech [6]. This is a false equiva    lency.

    Don't see any pachucos in the photo.

    I do see one negro standing on Brooklyn Avenue in Boyle Heights during the anti Nazi march in 1938 but not one pachuco to be seen.
