Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney argued violent leftists were morally righteous. “No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes,” Romney tweeted Tuesday night.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio took a similar tone in assigning “100% to blame” for the Charlottesville violence on white supremacists — which amounts to a total exculpation of antifa. Rubio also tweeted out a poorly-worded statement that may have explicitly endorsed left-wing violence: “When entire movement built on anger & hatred towards people different than you,it justifies & ultimately leads to violence against them,” the senator stated in his ill-formed tweet.
Arizona Sen. John McCain — who fought and was tortured by communists in Vietnam — claimed that violent leftists are great Americans fighting against hate. “There’s no moral equivalency between racists & Americans standing up to defy hate& bigotry. The President of the United States should say so,” McCain tweeted
Before Trump’s Tuesday comments, Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie claimed during a Monday radio interview that “those who incite violence are committing an even more serious offense” than those who actually commit violence. He added that these alleged propagators of hate need to be “arrested and prosecuted and put behind bars.”

The media seem to be saying that the fake Nazis’ beliefs (sincere or pretend), swastikas, and torches are worse than the Antifa violence. That is a very dangerous idea, especially if Antifa concludes that violence against white supremacists is justified because of “moral superiority.”
You know that Aug 12 is Soros’s birthday?
As I posted many times here as you have seen.
They are lumping anyone there as the protestor with those folks in the video marching with torches (remember Frankenstein 1931 ?) chanting ‘JEWS will not take our jobs’.
Trump comes out with many comments but his worst mistake was claiming that 'there were good people on both sides', and he said that it was a peaceful protest early which was when this video was captured.
Gave libs everything they need.
In many cases Dems have been specifically saying that Antifa are heroes for opposing those in the video.
GOP/pubs run for cover saying that only one side was evil.
Trump needs to get his .. together.
Hopefully the general will make that happen.
I heard that yes. I always thought it was April 8th.
I mean April 20th. ;D
One hundred percent (100%) of Confederate Statues are of Democrats.
There are NO REPUBLICANS Confederate officers - not one. Only democrats fought on the Southern side. Republicans were the people WHO FREED THE SLAVES... Our party WAS FORMED to end slavery.
That said - (and I am NO FAN of democrats) - tearing down these statues is an historical issue and should be handled by voters or the people they’ve elected.
NOT BY MOBS of white liberal elites and their minority ‘pets’... the people who prop up their power....
Over 40% of black citizens DO NOT want the Confederate statues torn down by mobs eiter. Slightly higher numbers for white citizens...
So yeah, good people can object to tearing down historical markers... All the Confederate Statues ARE of democrats
As far as the KKK, Antifa, and Nazis are concerned - they’re all hate groups. Put ‘em in a large field together for a day or two and let them ‘work out’ their differences away from innocent citizens of all colors and away from the police ...
On today’s Boston Free Speech rally, much better.
Organizers made it clear that they would not allow the obvious racist groups to attend(MSNBC even admitted this) , and so no ammunition for Dems.
Also who was arrested?
Just the counter-protesters.
No word from big mouths Romney, Ryan, McCain and Flake on their left wing heroes being arrested.
Of course they know the MSM will never question them on that.
Sounds like Trump’s tweets on it all sounded presidential.
I forgot Rubio.
