    He said the anti racist contingent were made up of locals, mostly, while many Klansmen were bused in. It's there for you to check.
    And to top it off he offered no backing evidence for his claim.

    Is he trying to distinguish between antifa and everyone else within the anti racists ?
    I see no attempt to document that claim though it's undoubtedly true that not every anti klan protester was antifa.

    Then again I'll wager that not ever single pro monuments person there was a neo nazi or in the klan. His claim is dishonest.

    So the cops should have retaliated on these fine American citizens who literally called for more dead cops? You leftists ALWAYS take things too far. ALWAYS. And then you want to goose and gander.

    If we played by your rules all of you would already be gone.

    Yes because we all know antifa was just completely peacefully the entire time. Never once did nothing wrong. Ever. Ever! Bunch of bullshit. Both sides suck. Why is that so damn hard for the to admit?

    Love 'em or hate 'em, coming down on the Nazis is actually a form of controlling people's thoughts. Antifa and BLM cause real misery, property damage, injuries and death.

    LoL, I come from poor rural NY, real red-county Trump area, my parents scraping pennies together to make ends meet. While a few lucky kids were going to Disney land or Six Flags on a yearly basis, mine were dreading the day the car needed an oil change. And yet I turned out an honest patriotic progressive, however much I'm sure you'll deny the truth until your fingers are too arthritic to keep typing. Later in life I spent a few years in New York City, and survived. While there I learned fast how to know a New York con man when I hear one, and I hear one every time Donnie opens his mouth.

    Also see my sig. Trump and the conservative outrage machine in general love to constantly lie and whinge about "the liberal media" because it confuses the truth, muddies the public's perceptions so that the average voter can't tell right from wrong anymore. It's called gaslighting, and it works like magic for a professional liar.

    This whole Charlottesville episode is a perfect example -- Trump's proven that he has no trouble with violence or with political incorrectness, even inciting it at his own rallies against peaceful protesters and promising supporters legal support should they commit a violent crime. And of course political incorrectness is a pillar of Trump's appeal. And yet the moment Nazis are involved, Trump is suddenly politically correct and 'concerned' with peace and unity. Hypocrisy at its finest, and a masterful effort to draw a false equivalence between two very different groups. Now reasonable people can agree that civil violence of any sort is not the answer, but the comparison ends there. Full stop.

    The antifa showed up ready to defend peaceful protestors who feared for their lives, but they were on the side of Christianity and righteousness. There is only contrast between an ideology that at best aims for the forceful eviction of millions of U.S. citizens to who-knows-where and at worst literal genocide -- and freedom-loving citizens willing to put their lives on the line to oppose evil. By insisting that blame lies "with many sides, many sides," Trump is very intentionally gaslighting the American public, casting doubt on our foundational values and two centuries of progress.

    Us patriots understand that.

    You might want to figure out how to spell the word "speak" before you get on your high horse.
