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.

You argue very well. That’s a skill most of the Left sorely lacks. I just think it would be better if Trump specifically and clearly denounce both sides. His opposition to the Antifa thuggery can be clarified. The danger here is for Trump to be misunderstood. A President’s stances have to be clear. He doesn’t have to be a puppet of the press in doing so. He needs to illuminate the path forward in the minds of Americans.
