Let’s not argue and bicker about who killed who
For Trump, I suppose this counts as subtle:
President Trump said he condemns hatred and bigotry on “many sides” in Charlottesville, Virginia, in remarks from New Jersey, his first since white nationalist group protests turned violent and resulted in at least one death on Saturday.
“We’re closely following the terrible events unfolding in Charlottesville, Virginia,” Mr. Trump said. “We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence, on many sides.”
In his remarks, the president failed to mention the displays of white nationalism or Nazi symbols present in Charlottesville Saturday.
“It’s been going on for a long time in our country,” Mr. Trump said of the hatred and bigotry in Charlottesville. “Not Donald Trump. Not Barack Obama. It’s been going on for a long, long time.”
Anybody want to take a crack at translating the last three sentences from Trumpspeak into English?
The bottom line here of course is that fascists and anti-fascists are both to blame. (To be fair, the mainstream media seems much less prone to both sides do it ism than they were six months ago. To be just, that is literally the least they can do after all they did to bring this situation about).
This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
