Trump should probably rephrase his Charlottesville remarks and can do so without capitulating to the Left. He can still strongly denounce Antifa while strongly denouncing the neo-Nazis. He should just address the nation and he can still proclaim his independence from the press that is a President’s choice.

Trump needs to just move on, he’s said enough. It’s not his problem that the media choses to twist his words.

Are you suggesting that there is some basic difference in the moral compass of those waving Nazi flags & those on the "Antifa" faction who employed the exact same tactics that Roehm's Brownshirts employed on the streets of major German cities, before the 1933 takeover?

Were the Nazi flag wavers in any sense more committed to the tactics of thuggery than the "Antifa" thugs who appear to have initiated the rumble?

Please explain. To me, the better organized "neo-Nazis" were the "Antifa" examples. As for the media interpretation? I believe that the pro-Nazi media in the then Socialist Germany reported that the "Kristol Nacht" thuggery was provoked. Was it? Was the "Antifa" thuggery in anyway better juetified?

The President's comments last Tuesday were spot on. Any equivocation will not show him more offended by Nazi tactics; rather exactly the opposite.
