The Trump Charlottesville Neo-Nazi Misquote Is A Political Hit Job
The Federalist ^ | October 13, 2020 | Laureen Lipsky

President Trump, on Charlottesville: ‘I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.’


If a dollar were deposited in the U.S. Treasury for every time President Trump was misquoted about the 2017 Charlottesville, N.C. standoff between neo-Nazis and the mostly Antifa crowd, we could make significant inroads in paying off our national debt.

In 2020, Democrats are still lying about the president’s actual statements and pushing the propaganda that he said “there were fine people on both sides,” referring to neo-Nazis. Democrat vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris made the false claim again in her debate last week with Republican Vice President Mike Pence. Pence pointed out that Trump’s comments on “both sides” were aimed not at racists but at Americans who disagree over historic monuments.

Here is the actual quote from President Trump at the press conference in August 2017:“Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group – excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”

Shortly afterward, President Trump clarified and unequivocally stated his condemnation of white supremacists: “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”

Democrats are constantly using lies and misrepresentation against the president, even to the point of making vile comparisons of Trump to Adolf Hitler. Given the Trump family’s long-standing support of the Jewish community, it is laughable that anyone would smear the president with the charge of white supremacy.

Like most Americans, President Trump most likely assumed it is well understood that neo-Nazis are despicable, so well understood that it does not need to be said, although for good measure, he did absolutely condemn the adherents of this vicious hatred.

President Trump’s personal connections with the Jewish community go back many decades. Fred Trump, the president’s father, had a real estate business largely centered in Queens, N.Y. In the 1950s, Fred Trump’s numerous buildings had many Jewish Holocaust survivors as tenants.

Fred Trump also took a personal interest in supporting Jewish communal institutions. He donated land for the Beach Haven Jewish Center in Flatbush, N.Y. and donated to its construction. A plaque dedicated to Fred Trump still exists there today. President Trump’s father also was a prominent donor to the Long Island Jewish Hospital.

President Trump himself has charitable ties to Israel that span decades. Through the Jewish National Fund, he donated towards resettling Jews in the Negev after the expulsion of Israeli Jews from the Sinai as part of a peace deal with Egypt.

In 2005, President Trump donated money to help Jews who were displaced from the Gush Katif when Israel withdrew from Gaza. The Jewish National Fund in 1983 bestowed upon President Trump the prestigious “Tree of Life Award.” Trump also gave generously towards a Jewish community in the Samaria region of Israel.

Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, the American Defamation League (ADL), and the Museum of Jewish Heritage are among the U.S. Jewish organizations Trump has supported. United Hatzalah, a voluntary EMS organization in Israel, was the recipient of a $100,000 donation from Donald Trump in 2014. Business dealings in Israel were additionally on offer at one point through the Trump Organization.

A long history of Jewish charitable donations and deep respectful Israel relations apparently is not enough to placate Democrats, whose leadership refuses to publicly rebuke antisemites. Please name one Democrat president who has had such tight connections with the Jewish community both here and in Israel as President Trump. One does not exist.

Despite Democrats’ attempts to tie President Trump to antisemitic violence in the United States, the shooter at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh did not name Trump as his inspiration. The shooter of the Poway Chabad Center in California actually called Trump a “Zionist, Jew-loving” traitor.

In fact, many neo-Nazis take issue with Trump for having so many Jewish advisors and for being strongly pro-Israel. On the other hand, the leftists of the Democrat Party and the neo-Nazis have joined forces in their hatred of Jews. David Duke has enthusiastically praised Rep. Ilhan Omar on social media, for example.

Trump is literally tied to the Jewish people by family. Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka, not only married an Orthodox Jew, Jared Kushner, but fully converted to Judaism in the Orthodox tradition. President Trump has a very close relationship with his son-in-law and his three Jewish grandchildren.

Despite a hectic campaign in 2016, shortly before Election Day, Ivanka and Jared visited the Ohel, the gravesite of the Chabad Lubavitcher Rebbe. Enough with the abhorrent lies about the current president; today Jews truly have a friend and supporter in the White House.

No. It’s a lie put about by a party that has gone Marxist and has nothing to offer but lies.

Charlottesville, VA was a carefully coordinated early field test of the Democrat game plan for taking back absolute power through a manufactured “color” revolution. The governor, Terry McAuliffe, was a close Clinton and Obama ally and immediately saw the opportunity to create a riot for the media to push the narrative that Trump was a racist.

Transcripts of phone calls at the time between McAuliffe, the mayor, and police chief of Charlottesville describe how they conspired to withdraw law enforcement from the field and direct the Antifa mob into contact with the Neo Nazi’s that were opportunistically trying to exploit the original local dispute over Confederacy statues. The Antifa organizers provoked the attacks from the Neo-Nazi’s which resulted in the killing of one of the leftists and triggered the media firestorm.

They then turned to their media co-conspirators to get Trump to make a public statement that they could edit to create the lie of Charlottesville. This was the template for all the color revolution Antifa and BLM controlled riots that have occurred across the country.

Of course it is a lie, which is no surprise as lying comes natural to them.

Remember, it is not that the Democratic Pols speak this lie, it is as much that the LEFTist MSM makes no effort to show the untruth of it. This is our modern MSM in action as a near total enabler of the LEFT and proud of it. The last survey I remember of those in the MSM willing to disclose had ‘D’ registrations at ~95%.

Go back in history and it has been this way for 2 generations. Bumbling Ronald Reagan, Bush’41 amazed at a grocery scanner, VP Quayle at the spelling bee, Speaker Gingrich eavesdropped on his cellphone, Bush’43 October Surprise of DWI, etc. Only time they get worked up about a ‘D’ scandal is when the stain won’t come out!

Yet in the ‘debates’ who are the moderators? Can you say SWAMP?

This is what they do to Catholic congressional members when they will not support abortion or queer stuff

BECAUSE THE (in name only Democrats) DEMONS DID NOT LIKE THE VOTING OF CONGRESSMAN DAN LIPINSKI AND HIS NON SUPPORT OF ABORTION OR BEING THE ONLY DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMEMBER VOTING AGAINST ALLOWING MALES TO CLAIM THEY’RE FEMALE IN COLLEGE SPORTS.THEY USED THE RECENT 2020 PRIMARY IN THE 3RD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT ELECTION.TO GET THE DUMP LIPINSKI

RESULTS THEY WANTED WAS THROUGH REDISTRICTING THE AREA . NOT ONLY THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT BUT THE WARDS IN THE AREA

USING THE 2012 23RD WARD REMAP HAD FRAGMENTED THE ORIGINAL WARD AND REDUCED THE NUMBER OF PRECINCTS TO 39. IT ALSO LOCATED THE EXISTING 23RD WARD DEM OFFICES IN THE 14TH WARD AND REMOVED THE COMMUNITIES OF WEST LAWN, VITTUM PARK, ALONG WITH MAJOR PARTS OF GARFIELD RIDGE AND ARCHER HEIGHTS. THIS HAD VOTERS WONDER WHAT WARD THEY WERE LIVING IN AND WHERE THE POLLING PLACE WAS TO GO VOTE

IN THIS 2020 PRIMARY THEY CREATED COVID RELOCATIONS OF POLLING PLACES FOR THIS PRIMARY SURROUNDING CHICAGO MIDWAY AIRPORT WHICH OF COURSE AFFECTED TURNOUT BY DOING SO.

PROVED TRUE CONSERVATIVES IN CONGRESS ARE NO LONGER TOLERATED BY TODAYS SO CALLED DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Notice also, over the past three years, how the media definitions of “neo-Nazi” or “white supremacist” have magically inflated to cover more and more people. Do they already refer to Free Republic as “neo-Nazi?”

Thanks for posting this. I might need it later.

It might be good for showing some friends on the other side how Satan manipulates us with politics to do things that break commandments and are abhorrent and abominations to God, and all while thinking we are acting righteously.

It’s very much on display these days if you know what to look for, yet hidden and utterly irresistible to those who fall for it.

Many very successful predators in the natural world work the same way.

Stay sharp! Stay awake! This is a harvest time.
