ORIGINAL: stef Sadly, this won't piss off his basket of deplorables. They are sticking by what he said 3 days ago, the "many sides" bullshit. The statement he read today is being framed by his alt-white base as the statement he was forced to make in order to pacify the left, and he really didn't mean it. What President Trump said was that there was this: "We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence, on many sides. On many sides. 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." Certainly there was hatred and bigotry on display by the white supremacists. There was also violence (egregious violence) on their part. But, was there not hatred and bigotry on display by the counterprotesters? Was there not violence (nowhere near as bad as ramming with a car, but it's still violence, isn't it?) at their hands, too? So, Trump didn't single out the white supremacists. The Left is pissed because he also came out against their hatred, bigotry, and violence. How fucking stupid is that? Both sides were in the wrong. Trump called them both out for it.
