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.

The whole story from the MSM makes no sense...


this sums up the situation for me. I’m having a hard time figuring out what actually happened here after reading multiple stories. It shouldn’t be that way.

It amazes me how these white liberals forget that they’re white. Someday it will bite them in their white asses.

Once a ‘state of emergency’ was declared in C’ville, the streets should have been cleared...including that large crowd of social justice warriors milling in the street down town.

I think "Many sides" were the right words.....cuz we DON'T know who's who or instigating...or whatever. Too many unknowns at this point in time.

One thing is for certain...If we hadn't had Obama, this wouldn't be happening and the statutes would stand as a tribute to the leadership of men who chose the losing side. They bled, too and they're entitled to recognition.

Yep.....Biden, Obama, keep killing the Democrat party. Hint: very few Americans , especially the legal American voters give a darn what Biden, Obama and their biased media utter.

I believe memorials of people who died honorable fighting for their lives and those of their neighbors shouldn’t be dishonored by a group trying to rewrite/erase history.

What am I missing here? Doesn’t everyone, even “white supremacists,” have a right to free speech and peaceful assembly? I understand the original group had a permit and everything was peaceful until ANTIFA showed up. Were they not supposed to defend themselves against ANTIFA? Seems to me there IS only one side, and that is to condemn ANTIFA and ANTIFA only.

Failing once again to admit leftists caused the BLM riots in Baltimore and St. Louis, the attacks on Trump supporters, the assaults in Chicago, the attack on police in Dallas, NY, and elsewhere, and the attacks on college campuses.

Antifa, BLM along with neo-Nazis and there’s trouble, which is exactly what Democrats running the state government and the city of Charlottesville wanted. This whole thing was a Virginia Democratic Party political drama gone bad. The Governor and Mayor have blood on their hands.

City officials bungled the management of the exercise of all the groups Civil Rights. Governor had police stand down until it was too late.

The President’s condemning violence and bigotry on all sides was exactly right. Well done.

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?


Exactly!

When was the last time you heard our side....like Sen cRuz...criticize any of the above, like he has the Charlottesville group?

Yep.

Someone needs to make a list/graphic of all of the leftist/Antifa related violent ‘gatherings’ and demand that ALL politiicians - on BOTH sides - condemn THAT violent group.

Pres Trump was absolutely correct to condemn ALL violent groups. Not just cherry pick one.

Some leftie thugs—fascist Nazis and communists, marxists of all stripes, BLMers—were finally hurt after blocking a public way, a road. So what?
They’ve been asking for it for nearly a year by clogging highways and roads in violation of law. You don’t play in traffic. This is so obvious it’s a joke, “Go play in traffic.” They had no permit to be there.

Angry black men rally and mad Moms against guns have their little demonstrations and violent fascists like antifa—all trashing whatever venue they sully with their presence ... but I don’t recall the term “supremacists” being applied to any of them.
Trump supporters rally and are assaulted by BLM and antifa and violent women. Yes, we tend to be white.

This began as young southern men with a permit, unhappy because their culture is being stripped from them by activist bullies—emboldened by race-baiter Obama—tearing down monuments to a proud southern past.

The peaceful tiki-light protest by southern young men turned into a violent circus because the three groups mentioned above are unhappy (as usual) whenever white men refuse to accept the narrative that they are privileged and must remain silent and self-loathing.

I’m white. That’s a categorical fact. I won’t be bullied.

Anyone offended by that declaration can pile on with Ted Cruz and the MSM, then you can retreat to your safe, self-loathing spaces and go back to pondering what it in the world it is you do that triggers the violent people that hate you so much that they ran you down, assaulted and egged you last fall while police watched.*

*(I’ll give you a hint. You exist.)
