(Led by Obama ‘Occupy’ Agitator Jason Kessler)

President Trump denounced all forms of racism and violence in a tweet Saturday morning, specifically mentioning the Charlottesville riots that occurred one year ago. The tweet comes ahead of a “Unite The Right” rally that is scheduled for this weekend in Washington, D.C.

The riots in Charlottesville a year ago resulted in senseless death and division. We must come together as a nation. I condemn all types of racism and acts of violence. Peace to ALL Americans! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 11, 2018

“The riots in Charlottesville a year ago resulted in senseless death and division,” Trump’s tweet read.

At last year’s rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, an alt-right protester deliberately drove his car into a group of counter-protesters. Heather Heyer, 32, died from the injuries she sustained, and 19 others were hurt.

From the (far left) Southern Poverty Law Center...

“At one recent speech in favor of Charlottesville’s status as a sanctuary city, Kessler live-streamed himself as an attendee questioned him and apologized for an undisclosed spat during Kessler’s apparent involvement with Occupy [Wall Street].

Kessler appeared visibly perturbed by the woman’s presence and reminders of their past association.”

“A “journalist, activist and author from Charlottesville, VA,” Kessler’s LinkedIn account states that he graduated of the University of Virginia in 2009. He was virtually unknown in the media prior to his crusade against Charlottesville Vice Mayor and City Councilman Wes Bellamy.”

DEMOCRAT Robert "KKK" Byrd

The Democrats made him leader of the Senate!
They referred to him as the 'conscience of the Senate'

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

In 1942, 24-year-old Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), whose parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, he had witnessed in his childhood. He was unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops, or leader, of his local chapter.[8]

Byrd, in his autobiography, attributed the beginnings of his political career to this incident, although he lamented that they involved the Klan.

According to Byrd, a KKK official told him "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd recalls that "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."[4]

He participated in the KKK during World War II, holding the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops [the top officer in the local Klan unit]. He did not serve in the military during the war, working instead as a welder in a Baltimore, Maryland shipyard, where he helped build warships.[citation needed]

Byrd commented on the 1945 controversy about racially integrating the military. Byrd, when he was 28 years old, wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, vowing never to serve in such a military:

"Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.[5]"

He had earlier written "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side".[6][7]

__________________________________________________________

From the Washington Post:

"Byrd said in the Dec. 11, 1945, letter -- which would not become public for 42 more years with the publication of a book on blacks in the military during World War II by author Graham Smith -- that he would never fight in the armed forces "with a Negro by my side." Byrd added that, "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.."..."

"during the general election campaign, Byrd's GOP opponent uncovered a letter Byrd had handwritten to Green, the KKK Imperial Wizard, recommending a friend as a Kleagle and urging promotion of the Klan throughout the country. The letter was dated 1946 -- long after the time Byrd claimed he had lost interest in the Klan. "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia," Byrd wrote, according to newspaper accounts of that period. Byrd makes no mention of the letter in his new book."

Anyone who wants to protest or speak peacefully
Let them
The first amendment is for offensive not nice speech
The neonazi types are not very popular these days
Who the hell wants to judge others on appearance ? That’s stupid
It’s whats inside that counts

I would rather have heard Trump say that he renounces all violence initiated against peacefully and legally demonstrating citizens and that all lives matter.

Followed up with the statement that he supports all necessary levels self defense when unproved violence is used against peacefully and legally demonstrating citizens.

Same type of people, different costumes.

Masks/hoods all the same thing.

The young boy is a few notches above Obummer’s intelligence level but after 45 minutes the boy was able to explain to him how the marshmallow device worked. Obummer was amazed like when he saw a garbage disposal and an indoor flush toilet. After Kenya this was like being born again in Disneyland to O.

Are the people seeking to remove Civil War memorials to Lee, Jackson, etc., respectful of all the memorials to (Grand Kegel) Robert Byrd? What’s good for the goose should be good for the Gander... Every place Byrd’s name is inscribed should get a big, red, “KKK” spray painted on it until it is taken down,

“At last year’s rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, an alt-right protester deliberately drove his car into a group of counter-protesters.”

Hey, wait a minute.

The way I remember it, he was being attacked by blacks for the crime of being white, panicked, and accidentally backed his car into somebody while trying to escape.

Deliberately? A malicious lie.

Yes it’s a malicious lie, and charging him with first degree murder makes the Commonwealth of Virginia complicit in the lie.

If somebody hits your car with a baseball bat (which happened to Fields) and you hit the gas, accidentally striking and killing someone, it can’t possibly be premeditated murder.

And, according to news reports, the “murder” victim died of a heart attack.

Involuntary manslaughter, at most.

@ThomasWictor said Trump’s got loads of retired police on the ground watching what’s happening, prepared to take fingerprints.

in 1999, I was sent to Washington DC on a temporary assignment. We were warned that there was going to be a big neo-Nazi demonstration not far from the White House, and that it would be wise to stay well clear of it. Naturally, I had to see for myself. I went down there. There were barriers, policemen mounted on horseback with both horse and rider wearing gas masks (yes, horses too), other policemen in full riot gear (shields, helmets, visors, and long batons). The bus carrying the neo-Nazis, about 12 of them altogether pulled up in the assembly area, got off the bus, used a bull horn to yell a few things, got back on the bus, and away they went. All total the “event” lasted less than 15 minutes. I’d estimate that the “counter demonstrators” numbered less than 50. The cops were all dressed up with no place to go, but back to the station.

I’m guessing that this “event” will be about the same. The only way it will be bigger is if it is a Soros funded and organized event, designed to grab some headlines, and allow the Soros funded media to smear all white people as “racists”.

One good thing about ANTIFA being in DC tomorrow is that all charges will be federal.

If the media coverage was honest, they’d be calling Trump the Great Uniter.
