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.

It is really about changing HISTORY. In Communist RUSSIA paintings were over painted to remove whoever was or became out of favor. Photographs were re-printed to block out those who were purged. Again STATUES were destroyed to remove those “hated” symbols of a country’s history,
The monument to George Washington, a slave owner at a time when slavery was common must be destroyed. The name of the city changed. A slave owner named Jefferson wrote a famous document...it too must be shredded, as it, too was signed by “notorious” slave owners.
This whole phony “internal war” is strictly about erasing from the memory of American citizens, the history, both good and bad, of the greatest country in history.
I’d also like to point out the inherent racism (since we’re being so PC and all Messers McCain, Bush and Romney) of old white guys preaching what racism is to black people as if these old white guys understand it or even gave ONE IOTA of care to black issues when they’re in charge.
Coz they didn’t.
The political whores in this country are in the process of giving up our culture to a bunch of socialist ignorant seditionists. If you are white and choose to live in a good neighborhood you are racist, if you want historic monuments protected you are a racist,etc. Our schools indoctrinate (brainwash) our kids with leftist psycho babble, and if you protest you are a racist. If you support Trump you are a racist. .....call me what you want I’ll stand by my beliefs.
The GOP is the walking talkimg embodiment of Sockholm Syndrome.
They so love being of D.C., so crave the approval of the elites in the media, that they automatically accept the media narrative and can’t wait to run to a mic and SHOUT their acceptance.
I can see how this one unfolded. The following was probably heard inside the democrat national committee and the newsrooms:
“Hey man, this Russia thing isn’t going a damn place. What the eff are we going to do?!?”
“I know, let’s turn to the playbook.”
“I forgot, what does it say we run here?”
“Shout racism, deplorable, and racism.”
“Will they still go for it?”
“Come on man, their own party will go for it. We know McCain is good for at least three quotes. There gotta be at least five congress critters we can threaten to dis-invite from cocktail parties.”
“I like it!! Get our operatives to work on it. Alt-right time baby!!”
The fools who deem these desecrations morally imperative have no inkling of the horrors they unlease. Their own precious icons will be on the chopping block in due time. One cannot erase history and denegrate ancient heroes without consequence. The price for these atrocities will be terrible.
Was the murder of the hundreds of people in Chicago acts of hate? Have these Republicans called out the hate? Are these people less dead if the Republicans ignore them?
They wouldn’t live in a black hood for anything?
Send their kids to public schools? Not a chance
Is McCain’s DC home, a city 90 percent black, in a white area? Or does he commute from the white suburbs?
Do these guys have armed guards? Do they think the white marchers have these protections too? Should they?
What if an Antifa had attacked them, their security, or their vehicles? Would McCain have just sat there and take it, or would he order his driver to GTHO?
All the above equally applies to the Dims. How’s that for your immoral equivalence, McCain?
Add in most of the other traitors to their voters in the Republican Party. These are the folks, as the cliché goes, started out on third and think they hit a triple. President Trump is different from most of them. His whole life is about listening to and wanting to make better the lives of those who weren't born with all of those advantages. Trump's insight is an affront to those warped aristocrats.
McCain’s hatred sustains him. He feeds off of every response to his outrageous behavior and, I suspect, he is going to be with us for awhile yet. He will use his terminal status to commit ever more sabotage against America and Trump.
When are they going to rename the town to “Martin Luther King” and tear down the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial? And when are they going to paint the White House either rainbow colors or black?
These Republicans who are criticizing Trump’s statement about both sides being violent are COWARDS and Traitors.
They are rooting for the anarchists and America haters.
Trump told the truth. The left and RINO cowards HATE the truth.
Law Enforcement is there to address unlawful BEHAVIOR.
Both sides BEHAVED unlawfully.
What these crybabies want are THOUGHT POLICE.
They want us to believe that the behavior is only bad if your thoughts are bad.
These Republicans must be asked the following:
What level of violence from the LEFT do you think is permissible?
Is EVERY person not in favor of tearing down memorials to the Confederacy a NAZI or WHITE Supremacist in your eyes?
Are you excusing the destruction of property, theft, and attacks on police by Antifa and Leftist demonstrators?
Are you saying they should get a free pass?
Can you cite recent examples where you have condemned these Leftist organizations?
Are you saying these Leftists organizations are motivated to make this country better as the destroy private property and attack the police?
How many times does Trump need to condemn Nazi’s and White Supremacists to satisfy you?
You and other Republicans seem to criticize Trump more than you ever did Obama? Why do so many voters feel that way?
ADD to the list and let’s get a reporter to hound these clowns for answers.
Is EVERY person not in favor of tearing down memorials to the Confederacy a NAZI or WHITE Supremacist in your eyes?
Which means truth is unacceptable, because when spoken about the “protected” classes, TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.
Bingo, nailed it!
Political SPEECH is Constitutionally protected.
Whacking people with baseball bats and running them over with cars is not.
"sides" don't behave, individuals do.
Who, specifically, behaved unlawfully?
Yep - we need to invest heavily in replacing them instead of just decrying their treachery....
It is way past time to stop calling Republicans spineless....they are complicit.
All who physically attacked another person, not in self-defense.
Black racists good, white racists bad?
