"President Trump says there was violence on both sides, media melts down."
We now live in George Orwell's media world, don't we?
Do they realize how heavily armed we are?
And you Mr. Bump, side with the Red Guards/ Antifa thugs and racists of BLM. Go screw yourself.
You really can’t believe a thing the Democrat press says. They have no credibility.
"President Trump says there was violence on both sides, media melts down."
You just have to ignore these guys. The msm thinks they have Trump this time. They just don’t have a clue that Trump sees this exactly as middle America sees it. antifa and blm has in the past proven they are violent raciest, and they will again in the near future.
I’ve had it. Bring it on. Seriously. BRING IT ON.
You were expecting something else from this Leftist puke puddle? He’s the same as every other flea-bitten rat running the halls of the ComPost.
as soon as you put your hands on someone you’re wrong.
people are allowed to march or protest and even hold nazi flags, if people show up to counter protest and they’re peaceful more power to them. you can’t defend the violence of antifa and blm. they caused this entire scene. period.
According to Phillip Bump and Never Trumpers like Evan McMuffin... we’re all Nazi fellow-travelers.
No subtlety there.
The media alienates half the population - the deplorables. Once again.
The msm again calls us all racist. Calls us all nazis.
It really does not matter what Trump said. The narrative would be exactly the same.

This irrational libel suggests Philip Bump is a closet Nazi, begging to be outed. Examination of the trigger words in his screed suggests that he sleeps with swastikas under his pillow, cuddles a stuffed Adolph, and wakes up with a Nazi salute.
Well of the LYING LEFTIST POST would say this!
The are desperate filth and they hate being called out.
Oh F*** Them. Pieces of $h!te.
And really, anyone who understands what freedom of speech is, and the laws of our nation, would understand that as repugnant as it might be, the speech of extremists of all sorts is protected. The government is obliged to protect everyone's free speech rights, and not to allow one group to interfere with another groups right to free speech.
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”.
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!
