LOL - this is what has been claimed and what happened. The inference is obvious.


The phrase "very fine people" is often associated with a comment made by former President Donald Trump in the aftermath of the violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017. During a press conference, Trump stated that there were "very fine people on both sides," referring to the individuals protesting for and against the removal of a Confederate statue.

Context of the Statement​

  • Event: The "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, which saw white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and other far-right groups clashing with counter-protesters.
  • Violence: The rally turned violent, culminating in the death of Heather Heyer, a counter-protester who was killed when a car was driven into a crowd.

Trump's Full Statement​

In the press conference, Trump said:"I think there is blame on both sides... You had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides... You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name."

Controversy​

  • Interpretation: Trump's comments were widely criticized as equating the actions of white nationalists with those of the counter-protesters. Critics argued that he failed to unequivocally condemn the white supremacist groups.
  • Clarification: Trump later clarified that he was not referring to the white supremacists and neo-Nazis as "very fine people" but to individuals protesting the removal of the statue who were not part of those extremist groups.

That's Trumps "full statement"?

He left out this part of that exchange with that reporter…

“You know what? It’s fine, you’re changing history, you’re changing culture, and you had people – and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally – but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people, but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats – you had a lot of bad people in the other group too.”

I would just like to point out again that if you find yourself on the same side of an argument as NEO FREAKING NAZIS...you may want to reconsider your life choices.
Is this directed at all of the current crop of Jew hating Dems/ idiot college students as well? I agree, BTW.

Again as someone said earlier even if there were "good people" on both sides... shouldn't you re-evaluate your stance if ****ing neo-nazis are protesting on the same side as you? Maybe not as good of people as you think.

So, all of the liberals on this site say that Israel is committing genocide. I’m pretty sure that aligns with the neo-nazis.
