  No one is disputing Trump said “very fine people on both sides”, which is what your link confirms. The false narrative was that he was talking about neo-Nazis and white supremacists which he doesn’t mention at all. Your clip doesn’t prove Trump was talking about neo-Nazis and white supremacists, unless you can show that everyone who was there protesting the removal was a neo-Nazis or white supremacists.

      Were there other people there besides white supremists and meo-nazis opposing the tear down of the statue?

        Yes of course there were. There were also white supremacist and neo-nazi sympathizers.

    People protested for many reasons. Lee was a decent general. Honestly he’s over hyped but he was better than grant. Per did some foolish things but if you’ve read about Lee it made sense. Lee wasn’t about the confederacy. He was about Virginia. As such he put to much emphasis on Virginia. That is just one example of why he was an amazing general.
