Analysis- Trump puts a fine point on it: He sides with the alt-right in Charlottesville
Washington Post ^ | 8-15-17 | Philip Bump

Posted on 08/15/2017 6:41:44 PM PDT by tcrlaf

It was inevitable that President Trump’s brief news conference on Tuesday concerning national infrastructure would, instead, be redirected to a discussion of the violent protest in Charlottesville this past weekend and his delayed criticism of the racist and pro-Nazi groups that were central to it.

It did not seem inevitable, though, that Trump’s responses to questions about those protests would cement as correct the general interpretation of his first comments on the matter: He’s sympathetic to the goals of the men who marched Saturday night carrying Confederate and Nazi flags — and even to the “peaceful” torchlight protest on Friday in which marchers chanted anti-Semitic and Nazi slogans.

Phillip Bump is like many things, including the famous quote from the movie “Topaki” wherein a man was described as “a carbuncle on the backside of society”.

Bump? “Carbuncle”; “Boil”, “Pustle”, “Pimple”, and in the famous words of Blutarsky in “Animal House” - “ZIT”!

Across the Channel famed Inspector Clouseau would ask “Bimp? What’s a Bimp?”

Back here in the sane parts of America, Phillip Bump would be described as a full of crap, hardcore ignorant far-leftist hack writer, and that is, in the spirit of “cooperation”, being polite.

If the SOB had bothered to look at all the videos available on the internet, he would have seen that the Marxist/racist Left was armed for war, not Kumbaya and Krimpets.

Thus Bump promotes with his stupidity or cupidity, the old Marxist saying “No Threat From the Left”.

He, by his writings, are now the protector of Marxist, black racists, Red/Black Bloc psychopathic anarchists.

Well, he does write for the Washington Post so I’m assuming that they covertly agree with his swill or he wouldn’t be a regular of theirs.

As the guy on the trash truck used to say, “Garbage in, garbage out”.

Do they have a high tech new device that neutralizes or disappears all firearms?

That Trump criticized both groups means he supported one side?

You can totally detest what they stand for but understand they had a permit and if they had been left alone they would have marched around, given a few speeches and gone home.

More fake news from the WaPo. That’s not even close to what he said.

This is what he said:

1. Mixed in with the Nazi/white supremacists, whom he denounced in the strongest possible terms, were good people who were legally assembling to protest the attack on American heritage coming from the statue smashing American Taliban (i.e., the US left).

2. All these people on the right, the good and the very bad alike, were attacked by a group of violent leftists who did not have a permit to be there and who were obviously present for no reason other than to cause a riot.

That’s exactly what he said.

We need laws to put dishonest media sources out of business. We need them immediately. There is truth in the world. Shutting down media sources that are constantly and intentionally lying is not censorship. It is protecting the Republic which is the primary duty of our elected officials. Media sources must be required to tell the truth!

And obama sided with the terrorists, the cop killers, the muslims, isis, black lives matter... and more..
The one thing he did NOT side with was us.. the people... the conservatives and the millions who voted for Trump... that vote was as much an anti obama vote!!!

Why be surprised the state department supported Ukranian Nazis fairly recently. The left would embrace Nazis if the result was destroying their enemy.

Fake news media has already decided Trump is a closet Nazi sympathizer.

It doesn’t matter what the facts are; that’s their narrative.

Its as risible as the Russian collusion conspiracy theory they have been peddling for the last ten months.

Facts? We don’t need no steenken’ facts!

Not the angle I meant. We may take them out somewhere to use them, but they are heavily armed, too. Although, maybe the President’s new people have taken care of the stockpiles by HUD, IRS, Social services and those other Fed entities.

We will be very alone in that battle.

I heard Mr. Trump’s press conference today. He did not side with alt right. Trump said that there were bad actors on both sides, and he’s right. The press was clearly on the side of antifa, however. They’re full of sh...

Yeah, that is why he loves Israel, Netanyahu and has Jewish family. Morons do not even know what a NAZI is.

We bought about 40 million guns and billions of rounds of ammunition just since 1/20/2009.

I still don’t have a clue who or what the alt-right is but I bet anything I would choose it over the alt-left.

And the Washington Post Nazis side with Hitler’s American reincarnation of the Ministry of Propaganda.

that’s their narrative

And whatever else happens you have to control the narrative, no matter how transparent your lies.

It really does not matter what Trump said. The narrative would be exactly the same.

Quite true, that certainly bears saying twice.
