Joy Reid doesn’t brook much dissent on her own MSNBC show, regularly shutting down, as here, here and here, conservatives who have the temerity to disagree with her. Fortunately, when Rich Lowry of the National Review took on the Reid this morning, it happened on Meet the Press, where Reid was a fellow panelist rather than host.
The topic was the violence between neo-Nazi/white nationalists and Antifa, in which numerous people were injured and one woman killed. President Trump has come under withering media and political attack for a statement condemning violence “on many sides.”
Lowry made the point that the so-called “anti-fascists” in Charlottesville also engaged in violence, and the violence was not one-sided, as the videos show. Reid refused to admit that there was violence on both sides, claiming “there was certainly not.”

Then maybe there’s hope yet.
Maybe she sees it. Remember it is win at all costs.
Violence on both sides? The video depicts that. But who started it? That’s what I’d want to know. Special condemnation should be reserved for the group that started it.
It is almost like it was intentional but hey no government agency in America would do that right?
McAuliffe is definitely NOT presidential material.
The Left Stream media was outraged that President Trump said ___________________!
As an individual only, I would agree. However if you are organizing for a group, you need permits and to manage the event for the safe of people’s safety.
PFL
Young white men aren’t concerned about confederate memorials. That’s the least of their worries.
They’re tired of being personally crapped on, passed over, and humiliated.
Second it.
You don’t. You can protest in your yard or pasture any time you want.
The “permit” is supposed to be for insuring that there’s an agreement between your group and the town for the use of public facilities... parks, courthouse steps, etc., and to arrange police protection, traffic direction, adequate waste disposal, cleanup crews, etc... so your protest doesn’t interfere with citizens’ business and doesn’t go on indefinitely. Other citizens have rights too, not just protestors.
Obviously liberal mayors failed to grasp the concept and in this case abused their power by denying a permit because they disagreed with the opinions to be expressed, and worse, neglected to provide traffic direction and security for those they did permit.
Thanks for posting this reality!

No, you don’t get it. They understand that attacks on Confederate memorial are attacks on symbols of white people.
Your attitude is exactly why these crazy nazi idiots are getting followers. You are looking for excuses to disengage from the fight, saying “oh, this doesn’t matter, let’s not fight about it.” It was 50 years of that that has lead us to the current crisis. At every step of the advance of political correctness, people like you were saying “don’t fight about this, this is not the hill to die on, we will fight next time.”
