President Trumps planned infrastructure announcement unraveled into chaos as he all but erased any credit he got on Monday for condemning white supremacists for the deadly confrontation in Charlottesville, Va.
Trump said it was a horrible day but said several times that counter-protesters were not getting enough scrutiny for their role in the confrontation and emphasized his belief that many of the protesters who joined with white nationalists were innocent.
What about the 'alt-left' that came charging at, as you say, the 'alt-right'? Do they have any semblance of guilt? Trump said. They came charging with clubs in their hands, he said of the counter-protesters.
Trump effectively reopened the debate saying "there is blame on both sides" despite insistence from politicians in both parties that white supremacists and other racists deserved to be singled out.
You had a group on one side that was bad, and you had a group on the other side that was violent. Nobody wants to say that, but Ill say that, he said.

That is a fact! It is exactly what I saw. Only cavet to what he said is I think the left shoulders almost ALL the blame. They started the violence and it looked to me they intended violence all along.
Thanks for that. Confirmation of several reports over the weekend.
The cops deliberately pushed the “right-wingers” into the Antifa thugs.
Exactly so. And Trump did a service today just by goading reporters into going back into the whole C-ville fiasco.
Fact: if the unite the right ralliers had been led out to the empty north, instead of driven by the VSP into a forced confrontation with Antifa and BLM, they would have gone home, and the vehicular homicide would never have happened.
So far as I know, baseball bats and clubs are legal, so the answer to your question is "all of them."
He’s talking about the ones who had the LEGAL PERMIT to be there, and hitting people and their cars with baseball bats and clubs is not legal where I come from, where do you live?
That's a very good video.
It tells and shows what happened.
Also proves the media is straight up lying.
It’s San Jose all over again.
Given that antifa are a bunch of BDSholes it could be their own propaganda.
Still waiting for the MSM to prove Trump wrong
