Trump calls for peace after Charlottesville violence — but doesn’t condemn white nationalist groups

So many of us were disgusted when Obama did not condemn the anti-police rioters during his administration and when Maxine Waters dignified the LA riots as a "rebellion". Please President Trump, we must be better than people like that. TD

NY Daily News
. . . "Trump blamed all sides for the hatred that “has been going on for a long time in our country.' ”
"His failure to single out the fascists was condemned.
"Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring tweetedthat the "violence, chaos, and apparent loss of life in Charlottesville is not the fault of 'many sides.' It is racists and white supremacists."
"Even Republicans condemned the President's failure to condemn the driver.
" 'This is nothing short of domestic terrorism & should be named as such," Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) said in the first of two tweets."
Former KKK leader David Duke attended the rally and mentioned the President as an inspiration.
The demonstration, he said, is “to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump.”
Oh, Lord no! What a gift to the left.  


Trump Was Right to Condemn Violence on ‘Many Sides’ in Charlottesville
     "The critics are guilty of a double standard, and of exploiting the violence for political gain, widening America’s divisions at a time when national unity is the only proper course.

     "First of all, as a factual matter, it is self-evident that there was violence on both sides on Saturday, though the attack in which a car plowed into a crowd of left-wing protesters stands apart as a despicable act. Two groups who have been fighting all over the country — white supremacists and so-called “anti-fascists” — went to Charlottesville to do the same, just as they did last summer in Sacramento, and just as they have elsewhere. Condemning one side alone would essentially have given the other side a pass for its tactics — and a political victory that neither deserved.'
