Yes, media, the alt-left is as bad as the alt-right . . . and here's why you don't see it

In followup to my piece from earlier this morning, I want to focus very specifically on the one question - which was really an accusation - that reporters kept shouting at President Trump during his presser yesterday. Whenever Trump pointed out that the alt-left bore some responsibility for what happened in Charlottesville, reporters demanded to know: “Are you putting the alt-left on the same moral plane as the alt-right?”

The president replied that he wasn’t looking to put anyone on any moral plane. He was simply stating an obvious truth about what happened in Charlottesville.

In fact, the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security lists Antifa on their list domestic terror groups: http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/07/antifa-listed-among-domestic-terrorism-group-by-new-jersey/

DHS should put them on theirs as well.

Isn’t it funny how we NEVER hear new reports that a Neo-NAZI biker bar was specifically targeted and burned down by Anti-Fa? Or that the KKK was having a meeting somewhere and they jumped all the skinheads and beat the crap out of them...????

Isn’t it ALSO funny how Anti-Fa always seems to show up where there are News cameras rolling to get the pictures of scrawny looking beta males and other retards wearing NAZI paraphernalia for them to “fight”...

Gee, you would think that if Anti-Fa was REALLY REALLY interested in actually fighting ACTUAL NAZI and Klan people that there would be reports of them systematically going from Racist hangout to Racist hangout beating the crap out of ACTUAL RACISTS and tossing bricks and feces on THAT SPECIFIC PROPERTY OWNED BY ACTUAL RACISTS???

Instead they seem to hid their faces behind masks, so they can get in front of cameras to grandstand by of a bunch of “Amazon NAZIs” and “K-MART Klansmen”...

Doesn’t anyone find that weird?

The overriding danger of antifa is not their street presence but their assault upon the First Amendment. They, like everyone else, are entitled to demonstrate but they do not have the right to violently suppress free speech of others no matter how repugnant it may be.

Would have loved to have the response: "No, the alt-Left commits much more violence."

“The president replied that he wasn’t looking to put anyone on any moral plane. He was simply stating an obvious truth about what happened in Charlottesville”

Is a truth and a fact the same thing? Considering the probability of a rent a crowd is involved to bolster the ranks I wonder if it would be more of a fact?
