Why does the press go crazy over a statement by President Trump that is patently true? “[T]here is blame on both sides.” Because left-wing violence is becoming a prominent feature of our political scene, and the Democratic Party press wants to cover it up. Murderers inspired by Black Lives Matter have attempted to kill, and in several instances have actually killed, policemen. Antifa fascists, doing their best Nazi brownshirt imitation, have rioted in cities around the country, smashing windows and attacking passers-by. And, of course, Democratic Party activist and Bernie Sanders campaign worker James Hodgkinson attempted to assassinate Congressional Republicans, grievously wounding the House Majority Whip, Steve Scalise.
This violence is unhelpful to the left-wing cause, so reporters and editors suppress references to it. They were delighted to have an opportunity to report, for a change, on right-wing violence perpetrated by James Fields. And they don’t want truth, or any sort of nuance, to get in the way.
This is, I think, a winning issue for President Trump and his allies. Any time the Democrats scream, “You can’t say that!” the best policy is to go on saying it.
UPDATE: Additional quotes from yesterday’s mini-presser, not referenced by the AP:
“I watched those very closely, much more closely than you people watched it, and you have – You had a group on one side th at was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. And nobody wants to say that, but I’ll say it right now. You had a group, you had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit and they were very, very violent.”
Trump is right on the money. Liberals hate it when he tells the truth!

Not only has the press gone crazy, RINO’s are running with their tails between their legs longing for the past when they did nothing except be PC and support Dem policies without the media focus on them.

If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen!
Trump turned the tables on them yesterday, something that no other president in recent memory has done. Now, the media/dem/gop is being put in the position of defending those wearing black uniforms, masks, carrying baseball bats, and who riot, burn things down, and physically assault those with whom they disagree.
How many of us here would fall apart if someone called us racists? Or even Nazis? The words have no meaning as used by the these insane people. Those words lost their meaning a long time ago and this group of creeps haven’t figured that out yet. The ones using such labels weren’t around when it did describe people accurately.
Can anyone find the origin of “racist?” When did it start being used? I don’t believe it applied to anyone who DID discriminate against the black race before the Civil Rights Act was passed, did it? I sure never heard it much before that...For what it’s worth:

Trump Tells the Truth, and the Press Goes Crazy [Updated]
The obvious answer to why the press has their undies in a bunch follows;
Telling lies about Conservatives will anger them.
Telling the truth about liberals will anger them.
