Usually, the lies are not so blatant, and the shilling levels for the establishment are not this high. Luckily for us, though they made this one an easy debunk.
These liars have been running defamation like this for a long time. Time to dismantle the garbage they spewed in the deceitful article.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/08/15/trump-puts-a-fine-point-on-it-he-sides-with-the-alt-right-in-charlottesville/?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_fix-altright-6pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.b1857a2d558f
It was inevitable that President Trump’s brief news conference on Tuesday concerning national infrastructure would, instead, be redirected to a discussion of the violent protest in Charlottesville this past weekend and his delayed criticism of the racist and pro-Nazi groups that were central to it.
For this starting paragraph, they are just setting up the shillosphere calling every Alt Right protester a racist or pro-Nazi. Easy setup, don’t call them what they are, white nationalists, and just conflate the few people who brought anything about Nazi’s with everyone.
After those protests spiraled into violence on Saturday and after a counter demonstrator was killed by a car allegedly driven by a white supremacist from Ohio, Trump offered a wan response to what had happened.
“We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides,” he said. “It’s been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama, this has been going on for a long, long time.”
Continuing the claims that everyone there was a racist, white supremacist, they insinuate Trump’s response was inadequate. The statement that Trump made, in fact, was accurate and he blamed both sides, which is reasonable.
The latter part of that statement is an attempt to distance himself from any blame for the recent increase in visible white nationalist activity. The former? An apparent attempt to equate those vocally defending Nazism and the goals of the Confederacy in Charlottesville with those who showed up in opposition. His critique was not just about the violence that day, but about “hatred” and “bigotry,” which, he suggested, was not just the province of the Nazis and racists.
Here is where the lying is feverish, saying Trump is lying about how long these issues have been going on. This has been going on before Trump even said he was running for President, but of course, they want to blame him for everything.
They also lie about the reason for this protest, saying they “defend Nazism and the goals of the Confederacy in Charlottesville.” This group was not here for Nazism or the goals of the Confederacy but for the history of America and the real historical importance of the monument they wanted to do away with.
Trump then made his next comment due to the media saying his first response was not good enough.
“We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry and violence,” he said. “We must discover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans. Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”
It was clearly an attempt to stitch up some of the damage done by his initial response. But in the infrastructure news conference on Tuesday, he ripped the stitches open and salted the wound.
Turing the response they cried and screamed for into an attack on Trump is just another one of their tactics as shown here. Putting the thought in their readers head that Trump is evil and didn’t mean what he said. Then saying his Tuesday conference ruined the satisfaction they received.
Right after he tried to argue that the Saturday statement had accused both sides of being at fault solely because he didn’t at the time know enough to pin the blame on the Klan and the Nazis, he then explicitly defended the aims of the original protest — and suggested that the counter protesters were equally at fault!
“You had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent,” Trump said. “And nobody wants to say that, but I’ll say it right now. You had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit, and they were very, very violent.”
Before dismantling this, I want to show how they refuse to name the groups that are “counter protesters”; Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM), both known to be violent and BLM members have killed police officers in the past.
As usual, they will try to go against what Trump says and say that the “counter protesters” are not to blame. They try to show a claim that Antifa did not start the fights, but video after video will say otherwise. Not to mention their reputation that brings the idea that there is no chance that they will not be violent.
You will notice how they also do not talk about the fact that Antifa and BLM never have permits to protest. Not like that is a suggestion that they do not respect the law or the police, or was their “More Dead Cops” signs not clear enough?
“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,” he said. “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’ve 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.”
This glosses over the question that his first statement raised, though, which was how he felt about the far-right and racist groups that spurred the demonstration in the first place. Those who engaged in violence on Saturday were certainly culpable, but the looming question was whether Trump felt that Nazis and people protesting those Nazis were otherwise equivalent. Such equivalence would suggest that racism and an embrace of Adolf Hitler have a place in America’s political conversation.
Trump gave every indication that he thought that equivalence existed.
So, the first part of their response to his comment is ignoring the fact that all the reporters at this conference would never ask anything about the left and only blame Nazi’s. Then they continue to hammer their point that it’s all the Alt Rights fault and the protesters “dindu nuffin.”
Their other worldly thinking shows when they cannot understand that these people were not Nazi’s and continuing to claim they are, does not make them Nazi’s. Also, they show they do not believe in free speech when they are explaining the situation in this way. Even if they were Nazi’s, they have the right to assemble and be peaceful without militant leftists attacking them.
Lastly, in the paragraph they as usual need to bring Hitler into the mix as if anyone in this conversation is #literallyhitler. This is the typical delusional leftist tactic to attack the morality and credibility of anyone they disagree with. I usually just over look it, their tactics are pitiful and full of divide and conquer or Saul Alinsky tactics.
“I’ve condemned neo-Nazis,” he said. “I’ve condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists, by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue, Robert E. Lee.”
He made it clear that he supported that goal.
Here, they show how they are also behind the historical revisionism that has taken over the American left’s mind. Supporting the erosion of our history and getting rid of statues all because they were slave owners or some other nonsensical reason.
For any American who understands the importance of our history no matter how bad the particular areas were would find this disgraceful, as do I

The Washington Post is FAKE NEWS and should never be regarded as a credible source or an accurate depiction of the world. This is what you get when you shill for the establishment, easily debunked garbage that will taint the Nation with lies.
Do Not Be Like Them.
