German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday slammed as “disgusting” the role of white supremacists in a violent protest in Virginia and an “evil attack” against counter-demonstrators that left one woman dead, her spokesman said.

In sharply worded remarks, Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert expressed shock at the weekend rally by Ku Klux Klan members and other white nationalists in Charlottesville.

“The scenes at the right-wing extremist march were absolutely repulsive — naked racism, anti-Semitism and hate in their most evil form were on display,” he told reporters. “Such images and chants are disgusting wherever they may be and they are diametrically opposed to the political goals of the chancellor and the entire German government.”

Seibert said Merkel stood in solidarity “with those who peacefully oppose such aggressive, far-right views”. …

Isn't that special, to be lectures by Germany about "far right" violence?

Thanks, Chancellor Merkel...

It’s so obvious that everyone on the Left is really, really happy that a Neo-Nazi killed someone. And they’d be 10 times more happy if the person they killed was Black, Latino, or Muslim.

That’s the only possible explanation for them to completely ignore all the violence of BLM, Occupy, Antifa, etc, over the course of many years, and then act as if these Neo-Nazis in Charlottesville weren’t being challenged by counter protesters with a history of violence, and just started mowing down innocent people who they suspected of being PC Liberals.

The MSM is all in with the meme of “Trump condemning both sides was unacceptable, and he took too long to single out the only side that we, the media, are interested in condemning”.

I’m glad Trump made that 2nd statement. He’s no dummy. He called the media’s bluff. Now he has more ammunition to smack the MSM around some more. Good move!

ONE woman was killed in VA from an as-yet undetermined motive -- yet Merkel explodes with more vitriol than after ANY of the declared, unambiguous Muslim terror attacks, in Berlin, Nice, London or Manchester.

Hell ONE girl was driven into an killed by a Muslim in Paris today. NOT ONE word from this fat commie bitch.

Merkel: America, it is outrageous all these violent youth attacking innocents.

America: Germany, it is outrageous all these violent immigrant Muslim men attacking innocents.

Merkel: That is different.

America: Riiiight.

Says a woman who is literally in the same office as Adolf Hitler and was a Communist East German Young Pioneer.

With the sorry history of Germany, she doesn't have even a little wiggle room, to criticize anyone, the worthless POS.

Merkel knows a little about being disgusting.

I think she knows a lot about it.

Theresa May did the same thing. I’m sure their helpers had to scramble to find out where Charlottesville was on the map...

For just a second I thought the Stasi Chancellor's meat-puppet was refering the islamic refugee invasion of Churmany.

That silly Merkel; did Trump say she was the woman he most admired in the world? If so, Donald needs to find another role model.
