On the one-year anniversary of the violence in Charlottesville and the killing of Heather Heyer, an anti-Nazi protester allegedly mowed down by a white nationalist, President Trump reminded us he is incapable of treating white nationalism as a singular evil or of offending his white-grievance-obsessed base.
Trump unleashed a furious backlash a year ago when he engaged in jaw-dropping moral equivalence, saying there were very fine people, on both sides (meaning both Nazi sympathizers and anti-Nazi protesters) and later claiming there was blame on both sides. Saturday, he gave the same wink to white grievance mongers, insisting on Twitter, The riots in Charlottesville a year ago resulted in senseless death and division. We must come together as a nation. I condemn all types of racism and acts of violence. Peace to ALL Americans.
Lets count the things wrong with this.
The riots a blob without definition did not result in death and division two more blobs with no definition. Heyers death. A white nationalist allegedly murdered an anti-Nazi protester. Period. Trump cannot say those words because to do so would reaffirm his failure a year ago and, worse, annoy the segment of his white base that thinks they are the victims of racism. As The Post reported, Trumps tweet Saturday, his first public mention of the anniversary, did not label the event as a white supremacist rally or specify that it was a white rallygoer who rammed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing one. (One is reminded of his 2017 International Holocaust Remembrance Day message which omitted the word Jew.)
We must come together as a nation is rich coming from the president who has done more to fan anti-immigrant, racist hatred than any modern president. Indeed, racial divisiveness (e.g., picking fights with African

Because the medias goal is to goosing black turnout for the midterms and stories which are counterproductive to that goal are spiked. Look for them to find so much as a white mall cop making a justifiable shooting of a light skinned black guy that they can turn into the next Civil Rights Crisis. You know the media is rooting like hell for this.
If blacks want to really know what white Gentry leftists really think about them, they should vote Republican en masse for 1 election and then watch how the media talks about them.
The video clearly shows the driver was attacked by Antifa before he lost control of his car and smashed into the other stopped cars that were being blocked by the leftists.
Someone got killed (sorry 'bout that) but still... The media got to heap all the blame on Trump so it was all worth it!
Kessler tried for a sequel this year. Nobody was buying it. The media showed up hoping to see Nazis killing protesters and all they had to report on was Antifa breaking things and assaulting them.
I stopped at the writer’s name.
Hmmmm, interesting. I must say, I looked and looked and I just can't find the Klansmen in these photos...
Every time I think of Jennifer Rubin, I have to go poop.
A good statement is that anyone who says that they want good things for Whites but embraces Nazism/Hitler/swastikas is a troll.
I would love for the media to talk about the epidemic of BOB shootings.
She's simply pushing the narrative in the direction the MSM and dems desire.
Many of these morons are stupid, but they have an agenda, and their narrative is all that matters to them so they push it from any and every angle in order to persuade.
He condemns all racist violence.
Liberal bullies condemn him and demand that he not include THEIR bigotry in his condemnation.
They have the institutional power when they can define negative terms to exclude them and always apply to their rivals.

The Charlottesville story has taken on a life of its own. It is now said in all media, the bad actors were the white supremists. The correct story is that a part of this group probably were white supremists and augmenting them were others wanting to save the statues from destruction. This second part of the group had many who were not supremists but did have a common cause - save the statues. This group applied for and received the required permissions to meet in the park. There were no clubs or brass knuckles. Call these Group #1.
Antifa and BLM arrived to demonstrate against the first group and filled the street. These did have clubs. Once antifa was in position, the mayor rescinds the permit group #1 had received and the police ordered them out of the park onto the street now filled with group #2 - antifa and BLM - who then began blooding up group #1.
One protestor was killed when hit by someone in a car who panicked and put the pedal to the medal when his car was nearly surrounded by protestors.
I followed the event pretty closely at the time. And what Im hearing now doesnt match what I heard then.
Jennifer is so full of hate.
Jenifer Rubin has completely dropped the mask that she wore for years.
She is evidently consumed by a seething hatred of anyone or anything to the right of Barack Obama, which clouds whatever fragments of judgment or rationality she may still retain.
I guess that playing a role as a “conservative” for all that time when it just wasn’t ‘her’ has left her with mental scars or a damaged psyche or some other form of emotional trauma...
I care not at all what Rubin thinks
“Jennifer is a deluded idiot.”
No, she isn’t; she is a paid liar, doing her part for “Operation Anti-Trump 24/7/365”. There is no reason to assume these creatures believe a word they print.
Jennifer trying to advance her career with the WaaaaaaPo? She might need to get on her knees under her boss’s desk to outdo this pile of crap in that effort...this is a new low even for her.
