There is no shortage of theories about why President Trump was so cagey in blaming “many sides” for the white supremacist-fueled violence in Virginia.
Some suggested the president did not want to alienate whites who voted for him out of a sense of racial grievance. Others said he was offering his white nationalist supporters a wink and a nod. Yet another concluded advisers like Stephen K. Bannon must be influencing the president in dark ways.
But there is an alternate explanation, one that is espoused by many on the right...
In this version, a violent and dangerous left fringe is ignored by news media that would rather elevate far-right extremism as the nation’s more urgent threat. This view of the left as unhinged and anarchistic has become popular with some Republicans who insist that Democrats still refuse to accept Mr. Trump. They seek to stoke powerful emotions behind perceptions of excessive political correctness and media bias.
In his reluctance to pin the blame on any one element of the protests, Mr. Trump seems to have concluded what many other conservatives did about the tragedy in Charlottesville, Va.: As tragic as it was, it was incited by a small, unrepresentative group of bigots purporting to speak for the right whose antics would be exhaustively covered in the news.
“They think there were 300 or so racists who showed up to a rally, and who got exactly what they wanted: Violence, and violence in a way that inspires the nation’s elite to double down on iconoclasm in a way they hope grows their movement,” said Ben Domenech, the publisher of The Federalist, an online magazine.
A headline on The Federalist on Monday summed up that sentiment: “White Supremacists Were Not the Only Thugs Tearing Up Charlottesville.”

What bothers me is that on Tuesday when the President did name the hate groups he missed the two most militant of all - Antifa and BLM.
Remember it was Antifa who caused the violence at the Trump campaign rallies. They are the equivalent of Hitler’s Brown Shirts.
That being said, he is accomplishing more conservative things than any President since Reagan.

I really want to see the evilstream misleadia reduced to a silent heap of rubble.
Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Failure to run this clearing house operation as ordered results in a several step disciplinary process. No more party invites. No more catered events. No more rides on planes. Soon late night dog walks seem to feel like there is someone following you? Next comes botched robberies, hanging and shot and drowned suicides.
Scary stuff out there these days.
“Next comes botched robberies, hanging and shot and drowned suicides.”
If I had Trump’s money, we would know who is behind that.
The LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist bastards DID start it!
They are trained and paid by George Soros and OfA (Ophonybama’s “contribution” to America’s future) to stir up trouble, and they did!
THEY ALWAYS START THE RIOTING!
Who has been rioting and looting and destroying private and public property since President Trump was elected?
Let’s face it, fellow FReepers: WE ARE IN A CIVIL WAR!
At EVERY public rally throughout the USA FRom now until the boom is lowered on the LIEberals, there WILL BE VIOLENT conFRontations; ALL of them WILL BE engineered by the LIEberals.
Stay safe!
Stay armed!
