Well at least Russia is off the front page for the next few days. Now it's "racist" and "white nationalists" and "alt-right". The media just doesn't get it...they are the fuel that feeds these flames. White America is not racist...we are just sick of being told we are over and over and over again. That we cause every misery and failure that plagues black neighborhoods. Ugh....

No mention that the Soro’s thugs started the violence.

Remember when Obama called Black Lives Matter "terrorists" and "racist" after one of their supporters murdered 5 Dallas cops?

Yeah, me neither.

It is all to be ignored. November 2018 is all that counts.

He condemned everyone responsible for the violence - Antifa and other groups certainly not associated with the so-called “altright” were also stoking violence, but they would have been included in the President’s remarks, of course. This is an absurd headline - castigating him just as badly as if he had made no remarks at all. They are messed up people.

The Uniparty Republicans and Democrats have been hauled in front of the cameras to spread rage and say President Trump’s words are lacking.

This is a time to measure words and Trump did it well by saying there was violence on all sides as there always is when the Antifa types come in to a fight like they did today with the “white nationalists”.

NOW we need to have a discussion about race and racism! Now, damnit!

All Republicans and white conservatives now have to grovel before the media gods and declare that they're not racist and how multiculturalism is all good and whites are the devil.

Nevermind that no one talks about racism when blacks repeatedly beat up or kill whites (knock-out game), when Muslims commit terrorist acts, or illegal aliens committing crimes.

No you see, that doesn't count. They're just "teens" or "youths." But a group of white people exercising their 1st Amendment rights? RACISM!

Maybe because there wasn't any violence before the counter protestors showed up?

The liberals at CNN, once again, have failed to condemn left-wing violence directed at Trump supporters from the alt.left.

From what I see on TV today, the developing liberal narrative seems to be that Trump was not forceful enough in condemnation of white supremacists.

It’s still early; this event just happened today. Let’s see what if any motivation the driver of the car had. I walso want to know who threw the first punch in some of the fighting which took place.

The media seem short on some of these details of today’s events.

It is sweet irony that a left wing nut job runs down other left wing nut jobs with his car; thinking they were the folks on the right. I guess he couldn’t read their signs. Read being the operative word.

He just mentioned loving God, our country, and our flag; he’ll be attacked for that - especially since so many of the Bolsheviks had their hodgepodge of non-American flags (including hammer-and-sickle flags).

The USSR was much more lethal than Hitler; that flag should be as unacceptable as a Nazi flag.

Some of what Trump said:

We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!

We must remember this truth: No matter our color, creed, religion or political party, we are ALL AMERICANS FIRST.

What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives.

CNN ignores this. CNN is a collection of dedicated liars.
