I am going to guess that you were not.

Making such rumor trending statements are dangerous these days.

Our President Trump also made a statement saying he waited to make a speech and address until he got the facts.
I think you could learn from him.

Oh please.

Facts are the ONE thing Trump NEVER checks before he spews oral diarrhea.

He messed up but he'll never admit it. That's all. So, he keeps digging a deeper hole.

What we need is a coming together in this country to stop all this extremist madness.
Where are the police, the DOJ, the political leaders from both parties working to stop this from
inflating into a civil war?

You have various white supremacist groups who believe they are superior and denounce other races.
You have various liberal supremacist groups who believe they are superior and denounce those that disagree with them.
Both are willing to riot and harm others to get their way.

We need non-partisan leadership to strongly denounce them all and stop all hate-mongering groups from tearing our country apart.

Good to know.

This is what they said about him during the election. Every few weeks there was another outrage that was supposed to finally sink his candidacy.

You need to find out just how many black people support him and how many voted for him. It is a lot. Stereotyping people is a bad thing but it seems that is all we have now is identity politics and the trouble it is causing.

People who were there are saying that the cops funneled the groups together, and then the cops left.

IF the cops had actually done that, they shouldn't have.

And you wonder this because...

In a statement only the KKK could (and did) applaud, @POTUS again defends white supremacists. I would ask why but afraid the answer is clear

Not where I live. There's a giant Confederate flag flying right on I-95 just north of Fredericksburg, VA - can be seen from all lanes. It startled the heck out of me the last time I drove up that way. Lots of people drive around with Confederate flags on their trucks, and have them on their houses as well. Oh, and it's also Trump country around here too, at least in my county.

In the meantime all he dies is promote nazies and the kkk

Could you dig up one of your posts when Berkeley burned down over a speech? If you could you might have more credibility.
