Comment on Left wing fact checker admits Trump never called Charlottesville neo-Nazis ‘very fine people’

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

    So some of the people there protesting the teardown were fine people?

      No. No reasonable person would define “very fine people” as those who venerate someone who fought a war for the purpose of maintaining the institution of slavery.

      I have not heard any argument that convinces me that such statues and monuments ought to be kept.

        I’m not debating whether taking down the statue was right or not. My point of contention is that when Trump said very fine people there is no indication he was calling nazis and white supremists very fine people.

  If a nazi is sitting at a table with ten other people. You got a table of 11 nazis

    I don’t consider everyone that attended BLM protests rioters, do you?
