Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney argued violent leftists were morally righteous. “No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes,” Romney tweeted Tuesday night.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio took a similar tone in assigning “100% to blame” for the Charlottesville violence on white supremacists — which amounts to a total exculpation of antifa. Rubio also tweeted out a poorly-worded statement that may have explicitly endorsed left-wing violence: “When entire movement built on anger & hatred towards people different than you,it justifies & ultimately leads to violence against them,” the senator stated in his ill-formed tweet.
Arizona Sen. John McCain — who fought and was tortured by communists in Vietnam — claimed that violent leftists are great Americans fighting against hate. “There’s no moral equivalency between racists & Americans standing up to defy hate& bigotry. The President of the United States should say so,” McCain tweeted
Before Trump’s Tuesday comments, Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie claimed during a Monday radio interview that “those who incite violence are committing an even more serious offense” than those who actually commit violence. He added that these alleged propagators of hate need to be “arrested and prosecuted and put behind bars.”

RINO bump for later....
Not doubting that Soros is acting to stir up trouble, just because he’s evil. I pray God soon moves him off the scene.
What can America do, in the meantime, to minimize its vulnerability to the trouble?
It would be grand if the manipulated groups, which often have mutual enmities themselves, could unite with a force stronger than the evil that Soros is carrying.
Maybe Unite The Right is too narrow. It should be Unite The Everybody.

doesn’t this author know that McCain flew a plane from a Navy vessel ??? he wasn’t down on the ground in the jungle fighting ...his plane was hit and he crashed and was captured...theres no proof he endured much torture...
All modern Benedict Arnolds. I will never support a one of them for anything ever again no matter who they are up against. PS McCains tumor came too late in life. Sorry, but its true.
These retards pounded another nail in America's coffin today. I hope there is a place in hell for them one day.
I evaluated it in the first three words ‘an entire movement’
Lid’l Rubio is generalizing, stereotyping and inflating, the same narrative as the MSM
If Antifa is so righteous, then why the masks?
Only clowns and criminals hide behind masks.
McCain will be taken the tumor, Mitt is too clueless and Marco......Wellll....
Little Marco, this is no way to endear yourself yo the GOP base by being an apologist to Communist .
These guys are utter numbskulls and completely out of touch with reality and the average GOP voter. Rubio is younger and might be able to come to his senses, but the other three need to be put out to pasture.
Maybe you’re being oversensitive yourself. That’s supposed to be the realm of the snowflakes, isn’t it?
The “entire movement” is, in fact, going where fallen godless men go. And no it’s not every single solitary person with conservative politics, but it’s an embarrassingly large portion of them. You can’t treat the name of God like a magic spell to be wielded at your own will.
What?
And notice that this sauce suits both goose and gander. It’s kept race-blind, which I thought was a virtue?
Idealistic songs of half a century ago longed for a more united age. What was missing was a call unto an almighty loving God. This was a fatal short cut. Sans context, we get screaming liberals as we know them today.
Like how about waiting for Trump whether he is going to rebuke these sentiments? I believe he is exceedingly likely not to.
It’s good to see the Daily Caller taking Trump’s side in this. I usually expect all of conservative media to be opposed to Trump.
Trump has found there are a lot of former fair weather friends in this foul weather.
God frowns upon hate mongers, and makes it clear that He does, even if He has to do so by raising up one group of hate mongers against another group of hate mongers.
Is something missing from this modern picture whose absence our much despised lefties actually have a right (under heaven) to complain about, and complain about bitterly?
I believe there is. It’s called the love of God, which when exercised also shows itself as the love between people. That’s why the Ten Commandments start out the way they do (even if Roy Moore scarcely ever talks about that aspect of them).
It wasn’t God’s wish, it was humanity’s wish, to bid this love adieu. Now humanity is left poor, blind, and naked, and with a cruel zero sum game on its hands.
Whoever’s closest to God has no reason to complain if he or she finds God leaning on them to lend a helping hand by giving it first to Him.
Where this philosophy parts company with our modern godless screaming liberals is where it insists that God be brought into the picture, and in generous measure at that. The godless insist on doing it all on their lonesome and that fails every single time. Enough failures and you earn the contempt you get.
Donald Trump is at least attempting to get that kind of view going. But before Donald wanted to do it, God wanted to. This could be an exciting, hopeful age if that succeeds.
I don’t hate the lefties as much as I used to, but I feel duty bound to stand up to their nonsense, just as much as I would stand up to nonsense on the other side. We need not to be looking to “sides” but UPWARD. That will also produce a uniting around the center on earth. We’ve all come into the picture with narrow minds; they are only narrow in different ways.
I don’t think I’m overly sensitive at all. I just recognize cucks when I see them.
As for The Almighty, had it not been for His hand, America would not have been discovered at all. Much less become the “Shining City on a Hill” - the nation who proclaims their trust in Him even on their currency. This too, is ‘national identity.’
Those supporting ‘national identity’ are now, very quickly and cleverly and very manipulatively, being lumped with Nazis and assorted other wackadoodles. There are no 50 shades of gray. It doesn’t take a PhD to figure out that, with the Russia thing fallen apart, the intent is to delegitimize all of the republican party, to ban their presence on any ballot as racists unless they swear allegiance to the various gimme-clubs, and Lid’l Rubio is playing right into it.
It’s really up to what people do before God as to whether that happens, or whether GOP returns in sincere hearts to the best of its ideals. Which are nothing to sneeze at.
The founders saw the formation of parties early on, and also despised them and inveighed, in vain, against them. Presidential elections were envisioned as being about the person. They’ve almost all turned out to be about the party. Donald Trump is an exception, and he chose the GOP because that was the less bad of the two major horses to ride.
What evolves from here, truly only God knows. I don’t care what they call a rose, however, as long as it smells sweet.
The GOP is now supporting Communist thugs, its f-ing unbelievable.
There you go, immediately slinging blame, taking the attention away from the objective statement.
Can’t you see that while Americans do this, America cannot unite?
