Rubio to Trump: Your comments give white supremacists "a win"
Axios ^ | 8/15/2017 | Shane Shavitsky

Sen. Marco Rubio issued a statement via Twitter on Tuesday denouncing President Trump's repeated statements that "many sides" were responsible for this weekend's violence in Charlottesville during his press conference this afternoon, telling Trump that spreading the blame for the events would allow white supremacists to count it "as a win."

I was listening to an explanation today that Antifa is an international communist shock troop group which was created by communist regimes to attack anti communist protesters. Rubio just said their violence is justified. Very very dangerous.

Rubio needs to be primaried because if he’s the party’s nominee for the senate again I’ll stay home. The crats might as well have the seat.

Antifa is a terrorist organization Rubio, they had anyone to the right of Nancy Pelosi including some of their own members, they have branches on every major collage campuses and probably number in the thousands if not a 100 thousand leftist collage indoctrinated youth.

The White nationalist and Neo-NAZI’s probably don’t have more than a few hundred in the whole country and this is the first we’ve heard from them in any real capaisty in decades.


THAT is the key point. There is no equivalence between the violent left backed by the institutional left and the rabble “neo nazis”.

“supporting violent leftists who are calling for the extermination of whites and Jews”

Curious to know where they are calling for the extermination of Jews.

This is the ultimate leftist dumbing down of America. The inability to say that violent extremist groups are wrong.

>> Rubio carrying water for ANTIFA.

Exactly.

We have a serious problem with the anointed leadership throughout the major corporations and Congress. To list a few — some ongoing, and some recent:

Disney, Comcast, Viacom, Time Warner, AT&T, Amazon, Intel, Walmart, Merck

Why do we patronize these companies? And why doesn’t any notable conservative pundit speak to the obvious political exploitation of consumers?

Rubio will NEVER be president. He’s just another panzy RINO who eats his own, when opportunity strikes. America will not accept a leader who cannot stand up to lunatic left!!!!

Rubio enables and therefore supports the violent fascists which have become common place on USA streets. These wimps never said anything about the racist actions of BLM or and other evil group...

I’ll say it loud and proud, white racists are idiots, but we MUST protect their right to peacefully assemble, or we take the Constitution and run it through a shredder!

Anti-Fa, and the like, are seditionist violent trash who must be rounded up and prosecuted or deported, or dispatched in open combat!

I hope he’s getting blasted on twitter.

He is, and he deserves it. Sen. Rubio's statement that violence is justified against people who are involved with a "movement built on anger & hatred towards people different than you" is as repugnant to our constitution as the ideas of the most extreme rightists or leftists. Sen. Rubio is advocating for violence against demonstrators, just like what the Cuban government does to the Ladies in White. Sen. Rubio should be ashamed of himself.

No, they deny leftest lies a victory. *ANTIFA* started the violence. They were the prime culprit. The Nazis and other assorted kooks were just useful idiots for the left.

And now it appears that the guy leading the whole thing was an Occupy Wall Street leftest just a year or so ago.

I’ll second that, and add that there are plenty of groups in the United States that have stupid, wrong, and in some cases downright repugnant ideas. But all of them have the right to express their ideas peacefully in public, without fear of violence directed at them. Preserving the rights of all Americans is more important than the occasional nuisance of having to listen to an offensive point of view.
