CNN featured a panel of six Trump supporters (three men, three women) Wednesday morning and despite host Alisyn Camerota’s surprise, they all defended the president and expressed their distrust of the media.
Camerota asked how many panelists were troubled by President Donald Trump’s response to Charlottesville, and not a single panelist raised their hand.
After Camerota played a clip of angry white supremacists protesters chanting racial slurs against Jewish people, Goggins defended their right to free speech.
“Those crazy, I don’t know what else to call them. I probably can’t say it on TV. But they still have the right to say those crazy things,” she said.
Panelist Robert McCarthy blamed media bias and said, “The media is not covering it. They’re only focused on making neo-Nazis and white supremacists out to be Trump supporters.”
Trump supporter Amanda Delekta said it was unfair to insinuate that Trump voters are supporting neo-Nazis and said the coverage was negative and uncalled for.
“No one here is supporting the neo-Nazis or the white supremacists. And that narrative is really negative. but what we are talking about is President Trump’s response and he stood in front of America and he condemned the violence that occurred that day,” she said.
Panelist Jimmy Dozier pointed out that only a few hundred people were involved in the Charlottesville incident, but over 60 million people voted for Trump.
“You’re talking about three or four hundred people in Charlottesville. They’re sixty million people that voted for President Trump,” he said. “Why don’t we get a say? Those people aren’t nothing. Democrats have idiots, Republicans have idiots. But we’re talking about us, the sixty million that’s for Trump. We don’t do stuff like that.”

Excellent to see! Thanks!
Media refuses to acknowledge that “good people” came to march against the removal of monuments. If other groups are there as well supporting the same justified cause, that is not aligning with a hate group. Infuriating!
Reminds me of a “female trump supporter” that NPR interviewed after the “Grab ‘em by the...” comment became public. They asked her if she would still vote for trump. She said, “Yes. I’m voting for a president, not a husband.”
The media has lost the narrative. When the man said “I trust video shot live by people that are there more than the media.” I almost cheered. In the age of live feeds they can’t just make things up. There were two sides and Trump did condemn the Nazi’s but he is not stupid and knows there was blame to go around.

Good observation. The protest organizers should be given a chance to comment publicly on the presence of anti-Jewish attendees. They may have been event crashers. Or Sorus funded Alinsky-type provocateurs.
Saw another article where Camerota was whining that people don’t trust them anymore. Wonder why?
