So when are we getting rid of the 5 Lenin statues throughout this country? Since, you know, we don't "need" statues to know history, especially when it's not our own.

Read what the rally organizers had to say it actually was.

I think Greg Gutfield said it best on THE FIVE tonight...THere are so many groups (tribal groups) all filled with hate and fighting against each other. What happened to being Americans?

It reminds me (California Gal) of the Gangs of New York actually when I watch this junk on TV - like what happened in Virginia.

I could just say to hell with all of them because I will be dead in a few years because of my age but I CARE. I care about the people who do not destroy property - who PEACEFULLY protest. These groups need to all stop the violence...

lilyFlower I agree with you too much hatred.

Virtue signaling is the Left's hallmark. I'm glad that Trump exposed the media for giving the Alt Left Antifa a pass. I bet most of the opposition media's audience have never heard of Antifa nor knew of the violent, paid Leftists who regularly shut down free speech. This is a media created frenzy for ratings. They are complicit in the death of that young woman. It's interesting that the woman's mother thanked Trump for his statement about both sides needing to calm down.

The New York Slimes female reporter who told the truth saying young, white men on the left and the right were equally hateful and violent was publicly shamed for her un PC article. The Progressives are merciless when one of their own goes off script and exhibits independent thought.

Fair enough---and sorting the People who are there as believing Anti-Fascists--and those who are Anarchists playing at Antifa--can be quite hard.

the anarchist..AKA "The Black Block"--style themselves as Philosophical Revolutionaries--and organize in cells, make plans, engage in disinformation and have a underground net.

As I said earlier, not the good guys. Many antifa..know little to nothing about the purposes to which they are being used.

Anarchy is the goal...destabilization of the Nation-States by any mean available.

Trump blamed both sides today and the liberals are throwing a fit. I thought you guys wanted equality.

Guess it's selective "equality".

The black man in the fetal position on the ground?

When more Dems lose their seats, it will be easier to get work done. Meanwhile the joke is on you because you will be paying the subsidies for Obama care. It's called shooting yourself in the foot.
