Here is a quote from the article June 4, 2024 from the AP-

"But Dix’s lawyer, Peter Frazier, told the jury nothing Dix did the night of Aug. 11, 2017, was criminal, and that the chants he joined in, including “You will not replace us!” were free speech protected by the First Amendment."

Here is a corresponding quote from a linked article from April 18, 2023 from the AP

"The Albemarle County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office said in a news release that the indictments relate to an event on Aug. 11, 2017. That’s when a group of white nationalists carrying torches marched through the campus of the University of Virginia, some chanting, “Jews will not replace us.”"

I recall seeing some clips from 2017 when the allegation was made that the protestors said "Jews will not replace us" and it sounded to me like they were saying "You will not replace us". Now that there is an actual trial, with lots of video and audio, I guess we know that the protestors never said "Jews will not replace us". Funny how that slur was propogated for 7 years, and it turns out it wasn't true. In any case, because the leftists are now protesting about "genocide in Palestine" something tells me they don't care about Jews so much anymore, so the slur isn't offensive to them anymore. Put another way, the leftists are now the actual Nazi's saying "Jews will not replace us". But from the mouth of a leftist it's not a crime. See how that works?

I'm glad you pointed that out.

The phrase was, as testified to in court, 'you will not replace us'.

The media has been lying.
