Members of Congress in President Donald Trump's own party were among those lawmakers quick to criticize comments the President made in a news conference that laid blamed on both sides of protesters at a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that turned violent over the weekend.

Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, criticized Trump on Twitter Tuesday night.
“There's no moral equivalency between racists and Americans standing up to defy hate and bigotry. ( Antifa and BLM???) The President of the United States should say so,” McCain said in a tweet.

and keep tearing down statues and historical monuments.
GOP is WORTHLESS.
It’s not about statues, though. that’s the problem.
yes because ANTIFA and BLM are doing the globalist dirty work. even cops who only have conservatives to defend them, are on the leftists side. seriously we have a target on our backs and nobody in power has our backs.
I’m calling out hate: John McCain hates Trump and he screwed America because of that hate. Antifa hates anyone who aren’t Marxists and they cause violence wherever they go. How ‘bout that, Juan?
To those congressmen: Go Obama yourselves, asswipes.
Theres equivalency of violence, McCain you traitorous SOB
So if a prison guard beats a murderous lifer, that is ok, because there is moral inequality?
Like clockwork, there you are. Your day is coming soon.
I’m sure Romney, McCain and Bush will now start appearing at AntiFa and Black Lies Matter riots, maybe even taking a leadership role.
Not soon enough.
Little Marco’s political career is over. He’ll never be elected foam catcher without Trumpers. He should just resign and move over to K Street to make his millions.
I’m not hesitating to call out hate.
Tearing down statues is hate.
proclaiming white people are “privileged” is hate and racism and bigotry
Hunting people down at their work places and getting them fired for wrong think is hate.
Like all things you stupid insufferable GOP twits... people have different opinions on meanings and I will no longer kowtow to this brainwashing of our country.
The “Republicans” are validating left wing violence. Very dangerous and totally insane.
Where were the calls for Obama to speak out when cops were being shot and killed by blm inspired rhetoric and violence?
Where was McCain? Hey, Juan, did your moral equivalence argument apply then? Or was it ok since you pretend that blacks can do no wrong?
The left is trying to take us all out and as usual the spineless Republicans want to give in. The president is giving this country a long overdue dose of reality. The networks and the political swamp can wet their pants all night long for all I care over the president’s words. The left is in full out attack mode and the president is the only one standing up to it.
Good, let’s make deal. The Dems, Rino’s and other lefties will call out the hate in islam towards unbelievers and their hateful warmongering prophet Muhammed, Stalin’s hateful gulags, Mao’s hate towards everyone and so on. Then we will do the same.
These phonies are doing exactly what they say not to do. Unlike Trump, they hesitate to call out hate in Antifa.
It seems clear now the GOPe want massive civil violence that they can blame on Trump. Then suggest he doesn’t run in 2020. Sounds crazy but we live in historic times.
These globalist thought they had Trump on the ropes again...until
yesterday. Then Trump delivered the truth.
It was vintage New York Trump, not DC-PC Trump.
Bravo to Trump for telling the real truth.
Yet, there are people right here on FR who spout the same CNN talking points, almost word for word.
I see a lot of hatred directed at whites. Is that what you are referring to?
