And almost all of us have disowned Duke, AFAIK.

President Trump, as usual, was prescient and correct.

Nice work. Hopefully, somebody will find a video of the flowery things Bill and Hillary and (insert name[s] of demonicRAT[s} here) said about Robert KKK Byrd.

I had to shut off the news on TV, it’s pathetic, they’re all trying to portray Trump as a white supremacist, even Faux news. They had this woman on, Judy Miller or Judith Miller saying the right wing creates way most violence than the left. Huh?? *click* goodbye.

Yeah, but that was 17 years ago so obviously they are best buds now. This is how “they” see Trump supporters. From this link and there is no talking to them either. This is how it is according to them:

https://democraticunderground.com/10029451636

The Right is looking at the results of their hate mongering today in Charlottesville while gasping in disbelief.

“We didn’t cause this! This isn’t what we wanted!” they all exclaim.

When you fought to control women through reproductive abuse, you caused this.

When you fought to instill your brand of religious terrorism as law, you caused this.

When you denied well researched and scientifically proven facts, you caused this.

When you stayed silent in the face of continued illegal redlining, you caused this.

When you denied the facts showing a wage gap exists, you caused this.

When you allowed a hoodie to be a sign of guilt and a reason to enact deadly force, you caused this.

When you elected officials who enacted egregious legislation that laid the bulk of the country’s taxes on the poor and middle class while ceding numerous tax breaks to the wealthy, you caused this.

When you said All Lives Matter, you caused this.

When you denied or repealed laws for safe, sane gun safety, you caused this.

When you fought to keep people in love from marrying each other, you caused this.

When you looked the other way as the NFL signed wife beaters and dog fighters yet left a peaceful protester in the cold, you caused this.

When you myopically focused only on emails that were proven time and again to be a nonissue, you caused this.

When you put on that red hat, you caused this.

When you chanted “lock her up,” you caused this.

When you decided grabbing pussies was a presidential act, you caused this.

When you laughed as a man called for interference in our election process, you caused this.

When you ignored the disabled and the families of those who died for your rights being mocked, you caused this.

When you decided “anyone but her” was guiding you in the voting booth, you caused this.

When you canonized a man who has nothing but bankruptcies, broken marriages, and failing resorts to his name because he’s white and has a penis, you caused this.

When you vilified a public servant who’s worked for nearly three decades for people in need, you caused this.

When you voted for a man who is in no way qualified to lead a sing-a-long, much less a country, you caused this.

You caused this when you put party over country and this DOES represent you. This represents every dirty, nasty, self-centered thing about you.

When the historians look back on this era in America, they will not look on you kindly. You will be seen for the villains you are, rather than the victims you see yourself to be.
THIS is who you are.

“When you said All Lives Matter, you caused this.”

How logical. Saying all lives matter caused someone to run over someone with their car, yes makes perfect sense. The left is insane. And BTW - We still do not know the whole story of why this guy chose to drive into that crowd, we still haven’t heard his side of the story, not a peep from him. What if he was getting the sh*t beat out of him by the Soros funded Antifag terrorists and someone put a gun to his head?

The problem is that when asked about David Duke LAST YEAR candidate Trump claimed not to know anything about David Duke. This video just makes him look bad in contrast.

Glad someone found this and posted on Twitter.

I'll never be glad for something that limits people to 144 characters, causing them to write like retards.

I'll never be glad for something that causes people to define themselves as "followers".

I wish he had been that forceful in February of last year when he wasn't as clear.

Twitter gets info our from the scene in real time and gives us some support against the false narratives of the media.

Not a single “journalist” has asked any Democrat why they refuse to even condemn the rise of a neo-fascist group that calls itself “Antifa”,

The journalist on TWITTER asked the Democrat Governor Terry McAuliffe to condemn leftist & Antifa violence and the governor refused to comment.

"Live from Twitter."

Being on Twitter makes people into journalists?

It's magic.

So now this "journalist" has lots of "followers" I'll bet.

Just like a prophet or a religious figure, huh?

No thanks, screw that.

I'm not going to be fawning over any Twits today, thanks.

That might well be a valid criticism of Trump, but I might have made the same statements that Trump did in the same timeframes, 2000 and 2016.

In 2000 I knew almost nothing about David Duke, beyond that he was hated by MSM leftists as a racist white supremacist. It was not worth hours of my time to investigate a fringe figure like Duke, so I accepted the MSM characterization as provisionally true.

By 2016 the MSM had lost all of its credibility, and I had stopped provisionally accepting any MSM-approved viewpoints. These days I wouldn't ask a CNN reporter the time of day, assuming that he would lie about that, too. I still don't know anything about David Duke, and he is still not worth my time to investigate, but now I won't repeat the MSM's approved lines.

Perhaps Trump went through a similar process. He really should be asked to explain himself.

He is a journalist at Breitbart who used Twitter as a tool to get the video out of the governor refusing to condemn the violence of Antifa.

He wrote an article about that and it was published today.

But he was able to Tweet the video out in real time.

Twitter is the best way to monitor breaking news. It’s a tool.

You DO know something about David Duke. You know what the MSM says about him. Trump obviously knew at least that, and I’m pretty sure that he knew it beyond what the MSM said, but I don’t really know.

In this case, what the MSM says about David Duke happens to be true.
