"President Trump says there was violence on both sides, media melts down."

It was inevitable that President Trump’s brief news conference on Tuesday concerning national infrastructure would, instead, be redirected to a discussion of the violent protest in Charlottesville this past weekend and his delayed criticism of the racist and pro-Nazi groups that were central to it.
It did not seem inevitable, though, that Trump’s responses to questions about those protests would cement as correct the general interpretation of his first comments on the matter: He’s sympathetic to the goals of the men who marched Saturday night carrying Confederate and Nazi flags — and even to the “peaceful” torchlight protest on Friday in which marchers chanted anti-Semitic and Nazi slogans.

We now live in George Orwell's media world, don't we?
Do they realize how heavily armed we are?
And you Mr. Bump, side with the Red Guards/ Antifa thugs and racists of BLM. Go screw yourself.
You really can’t believe a thing the Democrat press says. They have no credibility.
"President Trump says there was violence on both sides, media melts down."
You just have to ignore these guys. The msm thinks they have Trump this time. They just don’t have a clue that Trump sees this exactly as middle America sees it. antifa and blm has in the past proven they are violent raciest, and they will again in the near future.
I’ve had it. Bring it on. Seriously. BRING IT ON.
You were expecting something else from this Leftist puke puddle? He’s the same as every other flea-bitten rat running the halls of the ComPost.
as soon as you put your hands on someone you’re wrong.
people are allowed to march or protest and even hold nazi flags, if people show up to counter protest and they’re peaceful more power to them. you can’t defend the violence of antifa and blm. they caused this entire scene. period.
According to Phillip Bump and Never Trumpers like Evan McMuffin... we’re all Nazi fellow-travelers.
No subtlety there.
The media alienates half the population - the deplorables. Once again.
The msm again calls us all racist. Calls us all nazis.
correct, just like the recent polling shows majority of voters are against tearing down confederate symbols/monuments/statues.
everyone knows who the real violent trouble makers are in this case.
It really does not matter what Trump said. The narrative would be exactly the same.

This irrational libel suggests Philip Bump is a closet Nazi, begging to be outed. Examination of the trigger words in his screed suggests that he sleeps with swastikas under his pillow, cuddles a stuffed Adolph, and wakes up with a Nazi salute.
We won’t be able to use them.
Well of the LYING LEFTIST POST would say this!
The are desperate filth and they hate being called out.
Oh F*** Them. Pieces of $h!te.
