The willful ignorance of the left is disgusting. They want to leave out this quote by the President in the same sequence of questions:

“I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”

The idiot walked his garbage talk back after he got called out so you can cut the phony indignance. As if Trump is just a nice guy getting picked on...Give me a break!
Quote:
On Monday, after two days of relentless criticism, Trump gave a stronger statement, saying “racism is evil” and specifically condemning white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, and neo-Nazis. Speaking to reporters shortly afterward, white nationalist Richard Spencer told reporters he didn’t see Trump’s remarks as a condemnation of his movement.

That’s what the whole protest on both sides was supposed to be about — it had been going on for months —take them down or leave them up? both sides were very riled up about it, and these were not the supremacists.

I am disappointed that even FOX news hasn’t been telling it correctly.
The "Jews will not replace us" and "blood and soil" chanting by the white supremacist Nazis who wanted the statues to remain are one side. One side that trump said were good people. It's pretty clear. I understand these views should be shameful. Change or admit your defaults.

Rather weak and dismissive comments by a president .
Yes, there were horrible racists/supremacists who showed up — but the protest was started and the permit given over the statue debate, and that’s what Trump was referring to as fine people on both sides of the debate. He made it clear he was not talking about white supremacists being fine people.
What part of this do you democrats NOT UNDERSTAND?

All we can assume is you Dems are so disappointed he was not calling white supremacists ‘fine people’ that you can’t deal with the actual truth......

That "Jews will not replace us" crap is bizarre. What kind of insecure lunatic worries about being replaced? And because of their unworthy cause and battle cry, they will actually be easily forgotten into the dustbin of history and never missed.

All the racist supremacists who came here from out of town had nothing to do with the statue debate —they weren’t interested in the statue — they came to Make news and make trouble.

Take it up with Trump. They are his words.
One of those sides included white supremacists. Big difference.

There are some fine people who celebrate their Southern heritage.

Apparently the participants of this march--of which there was a significant number and one of them murdered one woman and injured several others by running them over with a car. The President of the United States of America gave them legitimacy. Yes, they should be dismissed but when the most powerful position in the world gives legitimacy then we have a problem. Understand?

Sure, they just happened to come to an area where this was happening. Total coincidence. SURE... Why didn't they come to my multicultural city? HELLO!!!
