No one is defending those vile POS, only pointing out that some went becaus


they believe the Lee Statues should stay up. And not all of them were white supremacists or Nazis. Yes, those POS organized the event and got the permits, but it was a well publicized event and the focus was the statues and plans for them to be taken down.

But again, would you be OK if I used the same broad brush you guys are using and called everyone there that opposes the statues Antifa? Weren't there any "good people" there that simply want the statues down because they think it's the right thing to do? Do they have to "stand in solidarity" with Antifa just to be in attendance?

As for Trump and his campaign, all you're doing is regurgitating the same baseless claims we keep hearing, devoid of any examples to support the claim. And claims which continually get repeated, without the slightest challenge, by people like this lady, and talking heads on CNN. Again, I would appreciate hearing which statements he said that support her claim that he "stands in solidarity with the White Supremacists and Nazis." You say you listened to it and know what you heard. I can only assume you missed this part:

"As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America.

And as I have said many times before: No matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God. We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry, and violence. We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.

Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans."
