Evangelical Christian leader Jerry Falwell Jr. defended President Donald Trump's comment that there were "very fine people on both sides" in the Charlottesville protests, saying the president "had information I didn't have" about who participated in the demonstration against removal of a Confederate statue in the Virginia city.

The majority of the people are against removing the statues. This include a majority of black people. I would that it is a safe bet that the vast majority of this group are fine people.
Recall petitions for any Republican that votes for this crap. Disgusting. Obama was a criminal.

Info I had seen also said 44% of democrats don’t want the statues removed, I expect that upon realizing this is also a losing issue the media and dem leadership will drop it further enraging the extreme left wing to even greater outbursts
That will be suicide for any republican or dem(in a moderate area). People are pissed and scared of what the dems have become.
what?! a voice of sanity??! getoutahere, can't be lol
Trump has inside information on a lot of things.
People underestimate him at their peril.
Flake, McCain, Sasse, Corker, and Collins will vote for censure.
