Biden criticizes Trump's 'many sides' remarks: 'There is only one side

Former Vice President took aim at President Trump’s comments that “many sides” led to violence at a white supremacist rally Saturday.

“There is only one side. #charlottesville,” Biden tweeted.

There is only one side. #charlottesville — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 12, 2017

Trump had refused to single out the white supremacists who held the rally in Charlottesville, Va. in his condemnation of the violence there. A car struck a crowd of counter-protestors at the rally, leaving one dead.

Two others were killed during the protests after a helicopter crashed. Those victims were Virginia State Police Department officers who were in a hellicopter surveilling clashes below.

"We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides," Trump said.

Well of course. With the opposition party the one way street is their way or no way. We're right, you're wrong no further discussion required. So, creepy uncle joe, you need to sit down and shut up. How about trying to unite rather than divide for a change. No? Yeah, what we expected. Did I miss the lyin' king and his comments?

BS!

The city gave marching permits to BLM AND Antifa for the same day and the Antifa attacked the white protest group - the city AND governor is responsible for this violence, the city WANTED this violence.

When was the last time you heard Biden criticize BLM? The riots at Ferguson? The violence of the Antifa in Berkeley? In Seattle? Occupy Wall Street?

Never. This is all propaganda and it proves the DNC supports violence to overthrow the government.

This was the Hell’s Angels vs the Pagan Motorcycle gangs.....

They both came for a fight and got it....

No sympathy here for either......

At the same time no tolerance for either as well...

Good to know Biden hasn't swallowed his tongue and killed himself yet.

Wrong again, Joe. There was egregious violence by people on both sides of this protest/counter-protest. The whole story from the MSM makes no sense and looks increasingly like a political false flag operation by left-wing activists against the GOP and conservatives.

Yeah, I’ve noticed the “many sides” or “both sides” excuse from y’all, Joe . . . several times. What happened to peoples’ First Amendment rights?

Oh that’s right, your political opponents don’t have any. You POS are never wrong. Ferguson? Yeah, it was Officer Darren Wilson’s fault. His job is gone and he’s in hiding, yet absolutely NO criticism of blm or other racist groups you pander to.

You are a sorry SOB THANK GOD your side didn’t win in November, after 8 years of your attempted totalitarianism and decades of your failed “representation”

In many ways the BLM and Dumbass David Duke types are the same cloth.

The David Duke types insist that even though my History and Heritage is European and Skin is whiter than bleach, since I am Jewish I am "not really white" and their enemy.

On the other side you have BLM who insist that even though their heritage cannot be questioned people like Omarosa or Katrina Pierson are "not really black" because they are Trump supporters and employees.

All I see are two groups of bigoted people who have no place in real America, E pluribus unum.

I hope they both can lose.

From what I read, there was plenty of violence on both sides. People, even white supremists, have a right to peacefully assemble and protest, and government has a responsibility to protect them. Where were the police???

One side has the single word...one side has the single definition. Another identifier of the book ‘1984’.

The side that attacked the police at the last rally and occupied a street without a permit while attacking another group.

Biden should stop being a weasel ( I know ) and out right tell the American people that whites are not allowed identity politics, period. But instead they allow the grey area so they can come up with neo nazi imagery for their stupid and evil political theater, and yesterday happens. The Left and the cucks are both gutless and evil.

Why do they keep mentioning the helicopter crash as if that is somehow related to what protester were doing?

it seems to me the people whose rights were violated were the Unite the Right. They had a legal permit, their event had been planned for weeks in advance, the police are required to actually do their job, and keep the peace. That means that they should have deployed sufficient numbers of officers, equipment, and barriers to keep those without a permit and who were looking for a fight, separated from those with a permit.

We have seen far too many incidents across the country over the last few years of police departments ordering their men to “stand down” and allow the leftist lunatics assault people at will, and that has to stop, or next time, people may start showing up with sufficient weaponry to defend themselves. Of course, I think that the democrats and their thug allies in Black Lies Matter and AntiFa are actually hoping for that outcome, so the police would be wise to actually do what they are paid to do, and not just stand-down.

It’s an extremely unlikely coincidence that a police helicopter crashed while watching this protest/counter-protest. It looks like somebody didn’t want the police watching all the activity from above.
