The president of the United States, Donald Trump, never said there were "fine" Nazis or Ku Klux Klansmen.
This is one of the two great lies of our time -- the other being that all Trump supporters are racists -- and perhaps in all of American history. I cannot think of a lie of such significance that was held as truth by so many Americans, by every leading politician of one of the two major political parties and disseminated by virtually the entire media.
The major news media need to understand these are important reasons that half of America considers them frauds. And we get no pleasure from this fact. The reason we don't recoil when the president labels the mainstream media "fake news" is that we know the charge is true. Has one major media news outlet yet apologized to the American people for preoccupying them for nearly two years with the lie of "Trump collusion" with Russia? Has one Democrat? Of course not. Because with regard to the Trump-Russia collusion issue, the news media were never driven by a pursuit of truth; they were driven by a pursuit of Trump.
In my last column, I offered a way of proving Trump supporters are not racists. The timing was, unfortunately, perfect. I could not anticipate how two horrific mass shootings would enable the left -- the press, the Democrats, academics and Hollywood -- to scream even louder than before that Trump and his supporters are racists and that their racism is why such shootings are taking place.
This is all predicated on what may be the most glaring lie of all: that, after the Charlottesville demonstrations, President Trump said Nazis are "fine people."
The president never said there were fine Nazis. The left-wing assertion that the president of the United States said there were fine Nazis will long endure as an example of something that has been true since Lenin: Truth is not a left-wing value. Truth is a liberal value, and it is a conservative value. But it is not left-wing value. A leftist says whatever is necessary to gain power.
By remarkable coincidence, this week's PragerU video is titled "The Charlottesville Lie." It proves the president never said Nazis were fine people. When Trump said there were "very fine people on both sides," he was referring to people demonstrating in Charlottesville for and against tearing down a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, not to Nazis and antifa.
The video is presented by CNN political commentator Steve Cortes, a voice of courage in the herd known as the mainstream American media. At this moment, of PragerU's 325 videos, Cortes's "The Charlottesville Lie" is the one I most want Americans to watch. The harm that the media and others on the left have done and continue to do to this country by charging the president with praising Nazis and other white supremacists is incalculable. It has only served to inflame and divide Americans: the tens of millions who believe the lie and the tens of millions who know the truth.
Typical of the former is author Wajahat Ali, whose attack on supporters of the president recently appeared in The Atlantic, which identifies Ali as "the lead author of ... Fear Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America." Ali has the audacity to write: "I feel compelled to ask Trump supporters: Is it worth it? How many have to suffer for you to feel great again?" The Atlantic is proud to publish such hate-inducing mendacity.
And the left accuses conservatives of hate.
Aside from the clear evidence that the president never called Nazis "very fine people," isn't the very idea preposterous? Trump has a Jewish daughter, a Jewish son-in-law and Jewish grandchildren. Nazis want Jews dead. How do all the New York Times columnists, CNN anchors and correspondents and Democratic officeholders who say the president called Nazis fine people and who believe the president is a white supremacist reconcile those two facts?
They don't -- because they can't, and because they can get away with saying anything they want. When a nation's media and one of the two dominant parties are in lockstep, they can lie all they want.
New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said, referring to El Paso: "(Trump) has created a national emergency of rampant white nationalism across the country. ... I think we need to blame President Trump and the rhetoric he's used since he got elected."
Beto O'Rourke, in an obscenity-laced statement against the president the day after El Paso:
"He's not tolerating racism, he's promoting racism. He's not tolerating violence, he's inciting racism and violence in this country. We shouldn't be asking if ... he's responsible for this when we know the answer."
Meanwhile, half a day later, there was another mass shooting at a popular nightspot in Dayton, Ohio, resulting in nine deaths, including the shooter's sister. Not much political hay against the president is being made of that one because, according to early reports, the shooter was a leftist, antifa-supporting Democrat who said he'd be happy to vote for Elizabeth Warren.
It is worth recalling that after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the American media blamed the assassination on right-wing bigotry that, they said, permeated Dallas. That Kennedy was murdered by a communist quickly disappeared from media descriptions of the assassination. Today, it is all but unknown to the American people.
Lee Harvey Oswald was a communist. And President Trump is not a white supremacist. No matter what the press says.
P.S. I just learned that within hours of PragerU posting "The Charlottesville Lie," Google placed it on YouTube's restricted list -- just two weeks after a Senate hearing at which a Google representative swore under oath that Google doesn't censor on the basis of political views. The ease with which the left lies is breathtaking.
We are living in dangerous times....and it became even more dangerous after the El Paso shooting with a full court press of deception, lies and hate.
This is how Jews felt after the rise of the National Socialist Party
The Brown Shirt Media has the power to turn two rabid libtards into white supremacists with a wave of their wand and simply uttering “Presto Chango”. The Brown Shirt Media is obviously our real enemy. The Rats are just puppets they dance in front of the cameras.

Beto, with his FOUL MOUTH concerning Donald Trump's words supposedly promoting violence, should remember when he wrote a "murder fantasy" short story about running over two children with a car.
Speaking of violence.
Beto probably has an I.Q. under 90 and needs to disappear ........ like he has in the polls.

“This is how Jews felt after the rise of the National Socialist Party”
For the last several months, I keep dreaming of something I must have seen in a movie about Brown Shirts of the late 1930s running down a street to store, breaking windows, and burning the place up. It’s a recurring thing that doesn’t happen often to me, so I’ve paid attention.
I can’t help but notice how few Republicans in the House and Senate are defending our president (and themselves) from these vicious attacks and outright lies. They all ran for the tall grass instead of standing up to their accusers.
If we’re going after the 2nd amendment, why not the first amendment too? Especially the media’s protection under the first. They have been a big part of stoking the anger and violence. All of them. A big part. How about we make it illegal for them to mention race or immigration? That just about wipes out the democrat platform. The media doesn’t protect us. They protect their own interests.
Lefties are desperate for power.
Patriots know these sub-human morons will stoop to any lengths and will regurgitate the most preposterous lies
to advance their pathetic political ambitions.
Beto is a joke......and so is Klochubar. All of them have about as much presidential presence as a wind-up monkey.
MSM, Hollywod, Google, Social Media platforms all working to help the Rats. Throw in the massive voter fraud we know is coming. Damn hard to be optimistic.
We just had a president like that for 8 years.
Exactly. And we’re NEXT-the real targets.
They fight harder for “rights” not even mentioned in the Constitution – abortion, health care, a “free” college education –
than those intrinsic rights specifically singled out for protection from government infringement in the Bill of Rights.
That’s because desperate Democrats crave power and control, and they’re willing to do anything to get it.
They will savagely strip innocent patriots of their rights in order to feel the thrill of controlling people.
Bump
There, fixed it.
Oh, not that the left isn't lying about Trump. No, the left is lying about everything.
The basic premise of the left is socialism and ultimately fascism to enforce their socialistic dreams and desires. These are irreconcilably at odds with the principles America was founded on and the principles that have made America great. Therefore the left must destroy America in order to create some socialist hell in her place. The left won't come right out and say this - a little hard to garner support for something so blatant. So they lie. They lie about everything big and small.
I wonder if they need hip waders to stand on the dead bodies-for effect. Some of them do wear red shoes, but that’s a different story, sort of.
“The major news media need to understand these are important reasons that half of America considers them frauds.”
It’s much more than half. More than 80% of Americans have no trust in the media as an institution, according to PEW surveys. The media barely ranks above used car salesmen and politicians.
