What I cant understand is why y'all always need to have every little thing spelled out for you.
They get it. There's hardly a single one of them who doesn't know what he actually meant. The misinterpretation of what he said sounds so bad and fits in so well with some of their most powerful talking points though that they have to roll with it anyway. Resist by any means necessary, including deliberate misinterpretations.
You know what? The liberals who keep repeating the lie about "very fine people" KNOW it's a lie. (Nobody could be that dumb as to think a president would go on national TV and call neo-Nazis "very fine people.") It's just that the racism card is all they have in their corner, and they will be using it ad infinitum throughout the election.
Of course, their position as the "party opposed to bigotry" takes a hit when they are afraid to issue an anti-Semitism resolution for fear of angering their base.

Actually, I liked it better when I thought it was deliberate.
More and more, I think it is just plain stupidity.
Would you prefer that the Public infer meaning in his words?
Should we treat him like a Bible passage and gleam meaning from his vague statements?
How much interpretation do you want the Public to do? If some Interpret a different message than you, who is correct?
Even if you think you know what was meant, you never know 100%
Its simple, if you don't deliver a clear message, then you leave it open for others to do so. This is literally one of the first lessons anyone learns when managing others or making public statements. You learn to stop assuming, and start ensuring.
The president is the final arbiter on what he meant by what he said and he has spoken.
He said, once again, that neo-Nazi's and White Supremacists should be condemned."
Apparently, many of y'all didn't understand that before...…..he explained it to you...

Yes, DAYS after he made the "fine people" comment. Trump did that only because Republican leadership and Trump handlers realized he needed to do that. Why he didn't say that qualifier in the first place is beyond me.

Ask yourself why he needed to do that.
Because the media and liberal politicians created a false narrative about what he said.
As I said before, no one with any common sense needed to be told that neo-Nazis/White Supremacists should be condemned.

He did say it in the first place, the "days later" lie is bogus too:
EXACTLY THIS. I don't care what the RWNJ's are trying to convince you about what the marchers "really meant".
Bottom line is that anyone marching in support of these groups is not a fine person. No way, no how. If the OP and the other lemmings were telling truth, then they would be able to point to 'fine people' who were not marching in support of the group. Rather, they would be denouncing the White Supremacists, and finding a better way to state their support for statues.
The only people spreading lies here are those on the right. The media reported what happened. If anyone interprets that as "Trump is a racist", that is with that person. The fact that it's true is great and all, but that's not the media's fault.
If Trump didn't have a long history of racism, just like his father, then maybe these stories would not take hold so easily. He is a racist, so it's disingenuous to try and blame it on the media.
The charge of racism is thrown about with abandon by "progressives." It's like a form of Tourette's Syndrome for them. Anything and everything can be deemed "racist" by this set, if it serves the media and the Democrat Party.
You're wasting your energy. They don't want to hear the truth it makes them uncomfortable and would force them to challenge everything they've heard in the media
Let them stay in their safe spaces where they can falsely scream racism. It's been so abused and misappropriated it's already lost it's real meaning and implications.
