Tulc is getting justly famous for pretty much majoring in anti Trump rhetoric.
Trump has condemned neo-Nazis many times.
If – as Obama charged – it was “hard” for him to do it in the Charlottesville instance, it was because he didn’t like the way people were trying to lump the many non-Nazi protestors against the removal of statures in with the Nazis. When everyone is trying their best to get you to take a point of view that you don’t want to take – a person often stumbles in his words.
He quite correctly said – ““You also had some very fine people on both sides.” That's a fact.
For that he was condemned by those who tried to smear him at the time and are doing so now on this thread - to their shame.
Trump was clearly making the point that the counter-protesters deserved an equal amount of blame for the violence.
“What about the alt-left that came charging at, as you say, at the alt-right?” Trump said. “Do they have any semblance of guilt?”
“I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me,” he said.
“You had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists,” Trump said. “The press has treated them absolutely unfairly.”
I don’t know how much more clear the man can get as to what he was trying to say in the Charlottesville situation.
When a man makes such clear statements and an ex president wrongs him in a nationally watched speech - it’s an even a lower action than the likes of tulc, for all intents and purposes, "lying" about him.
Trump has also said concerning the protests against removing Confederate statues – prophetically it now seems, “Many of those people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee,” “This week, it is Robert E. Lee. And I notice that Stonewall Jackson is coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next? And is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you have to ask yourself, where does it stop?”
When a protest is in the right as was that of the neo-Nazis – it’s in the right no matter who is doing the protesting. Their actions along the way can be condemned if they are out of line - just as Trump has clearly done.
The same standard should be applied to those on the other side – which Trump clearly tried to do.
For that he gets lied about by an ex president.
I don't mind legitimate criticism of Trump. He often brings it on himself.
But this is not legitimate - as tulc and his cohort Barry both know.
