The main ABC News site also has video from this:

A week ago Trump said there were "many sides" to the Charlottesville conflict and used the term "ALT-LEFT."

The press went insane. Absolute chaos as Trump pointed out these are fringe groups on both sides of the political spectrum.

Since then CNN (Jake Tapper) ran a story - their first ever - about Antifa seeking "peace through violence."

ABC ran their first story about Antifa in a 20/20 show about the "Alt-Right" and Antifa. It presented them both as small, fringe groups in conflict.

The MSM has now confirmed what Trump said at the press conference was correct. They've completely reversed themselves within a week!

He may not even have to campaign in 2020. Just do one of those “front porch” campaigns like a politician from the 19th Century.

This is a complete collapse of the MSM narrative.

Prior to Trump’s genius press conference the violence in Berkley was a “natural response” (Obama’s phrase for violence) to the Nazi Milo (the Nazi gay libertarian, that is).

They’ve completely collapsed now and are admitting that Trump was right.

All this within a week. MSM is running behind social media and sources like Breitbart, etc. They realized they had to admit Antifa is a violent extremist group or they’d lose even more credibility.

Another genius move by Trump today. He tweeted approval for the Boston counter demonstrators opposing racism. Then shortly thereafter tweeted there were some “agitators” within the crowd assaulting the police and that was bad.

So Trump successfully has divided the violent extremists from the mainstream Democrats - something MSM / Soros / etc. have not wanted to do.

Antifa fights zero fascist 99% of the time. Instead they destroy starbucks, beat up old hyppi libertarians and profess their sodomitic Marxist cult calling racist anyone they wish to molest or rob (dictatorship of bourgeois cop out).

America is completely gelded and it would behove that this behavor of lynchings be no longer tolerated. KkK satisfied their feelings on lynching people of other color, antifa on anybody they feel like accusing of racist or uncle tom

I wonder how long they had the brunt of this video complete? May or so?

Gdamn I fed up with this male bovine scat and am ready to uncork ol Betsy. I am not the biggest supporter of President Trump but am ready (as we all should be) to stand up and protect his 6.

These traitors (McCain, Hillary, Obama, McMaster, Mcauliffe and more) and money men like George Soros need to be held to account and brought to justice by the American people. I say the American people because our DOJ is asleep at the wheel AGAIN...

President Trump needs to understand that the movement is still out there and that these handful POS basement dwellers cannot put us down. He needs to do a call to arms and do it soon.

The MSM had no stories on Antifa until Trump’s presser. They wanted it to be a ‘grassroots spontaneous reaction’ to ‘alt-right Nazis’ that led to the various riots when folks like Coulter, Milo, Shapiro, etc. spoke at colleges.

Instead it’s an organized anti-speech anti-capitalism anti-government left wing terrorist group.

The MSM narrative completely collapsed in a week.

This is after there were calls for IMPEACHMENT of Trump merely for suggesting there were ‘many sides’ to the political violence.

Trump is a political genius.

There’s no ‘sides’ or moral equivalency here and there’s no alt-left. There’s just the left. They are lawless.

The left, like islam, IS radical. No qualifiers are needed. No-Alt needed

Leftists killed over 100 million people last century. That needs to be shoved in the fake media’s lying fargin faces every time they try and smear republicans with some fringe kook group.

The only thing keeping the democrats from going full stalin here, is the rule of law and the republicans with the will to enforce it. That’s gone now, sadly.

So far, every Repuke I’ve heard ‘defending’ our side has failed miserably. They immediately go on the defensive. IOW, they’ve capitulated and lost.

Did you listen to the video that you posted all the way to the end?

2020 pretty much nailed our President and put him at fault for taking sides of the "ALT-right". Going as far as showing the mother of the dead terrorist woman's mother saying she would basically not talk with the President because of his support of the "ALT-right".

I praise our President for his stance and him standing toe to toe with these pukes in his briefing. What a job. But it is time to come down on the sponsors of Antifa and understand that we have his back. I tweet to him all the time (not that he replies) about this subject. His supporters are still with him but he needs to act against his aggressors.

A hate group validates Trump.

Trump groups are not appearing, are they ?

Trump is correct, hate groups are not and they should be silenced by the populace.

The revolution is not to conquer anyone but to shut them up.

Our job is not so difficult.

When the communists were pushed underground, they organized and operated in secret which made them stronger. They had a basic structure throughout society which we now see in full bloom and in power.

So we should let the hitler lovers do their thing and make fun of them for not being cool. We should do the same to their hate opposition on the left especially when it screeches from a position of power. \

The racists on the left recruit for the white racists. Personally, I think we are going to see white identity movements grow because of the hate whitey in power on the left.

The American Broadcasting Company thinks it’s in the business of teaching the world the ABC’s of life. However, they have their X,Y and Z inside out, upside down and backwards.

I am old and fed up and, eartick, you have put it in a nutshell.

Frankly, I do not understand catering to accepting the violence of some 10-25% of our population who advocate violence as a solution, lying as a solution, distortion of facts as a solution and who follow Soros, Clinton, etc.

Be done with them. Arrest them and charge them with sedition and send them to jail for years. Make them pay back in money they earn for all damage they cause including destruction of everything they did.

I think, in addition, we ought to ship off to Europe and Britain, our Congress, both houses and both parties to any Muslim/Islamic country and keep them there for a long time. We need to separate out the people who self identify as liberals and put them all in gated and guarded communities at our institutions of higher learning.

I am truly fed up with all this.

So your saying these hate groups were not around a year ago under Obama. Frankly I think Obama and his policies spawned them. But they have always been there in one form or another. And they grow larger when the left has control. They have to hate something.

Preview 'Fractured America' below

At least "Fractured Fairy Tales" featured Edward Everett Horton as the narrator, and it was sandwiched in between Rocky episodes and Mr. Peabody. What kind of sandwich is ABC serving up, I wonder?

I have a problem with these tweets as only one is true; the "agitators" are Antifa and BLM and like radical Islamic terrorism, they have to be named and destroyed.

Strange how the people who keep saying “resist” are now complaining that America is “fractured”.

Of course ABC attacked Trump. It’s abc!

But they are forced to cover Antifa and admit the group is violent.

Trump has been proven to be right now by msm. Many sides were there.
