Opinion | These are your people, President Trump
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | August 13, 2017 | by Colbert I. King, The Washington Post

Posted on 08/13/2017 7:26:25 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

President Donald Trump's mealy-mouthed mutterings on the terrorism let loose in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday are worthy of the hypocrite and instigator of hate that he has proved himself to be. Trump knows what was at work on those streets and who was behind it. As well he should. They are some of the same forces that helped to put him in the White House.

Trump's people, also - were out in force in Charlottesville with their hate-filled minds, their guns, and a weaponized automobile.

That was your crowd down there in Old Virginia, Donald Trump.

They were speaking your language, vomiting your sentiments, acting out what animates you from within.

So why are any of us the least bit surprised that Trump's devoted clan of white nationalists would be so emboldened as to brazenly emulate their klan forbears and take it to the streets? One of their own reached the White House, with their help. It's enough to make an old Confederate proud, and a present-day white nationalist as arrogant, reckless and dangerous as can be.

That begs the question, why was he and the Nazi contingent even tolerated at the rally? At Tea party rallies I attended individuals carrying racist or Nazi signs were quickly corralled, as they were infiltrators and not our own.

The “white nationalist” (aka- Nazis) had the legal permit to demonstrate. ACLU and the leftists sued to get it cancelled or moved but the authorities said no. They also let Antifa and BLM show up THEN Ive heard it said the cops were ordered to stand down unless (until) the SHTF.

The fight was desired and basically encouraged. I think the whole thing went off as planned.

Where was the Tea Party in Charlottesville? Leftists Taliban are knocking down statues and the only ones showing up to try to stop it are neo-nazis and white supremacists. That speaks volumes, doesn't it?

I'm starting to think conservatives are a bunch of pathetic cucks who talk a big game on echo chamber internet forums "One of these days someone's gonna get hurt..." and then wring their hands when others put words into actions. Say what you want about the young men carrying banners yesterday. They were the ones who took to the streets to punch Antifa commies in their faces.

David Duke says, "Follow me!" Richard Spencer says, "Let's go fight!" Where was the Tea Party?

It was a crowd of mostly white people and it was mostly white people that we’re injured. There are plenty of pics and videos that verify this. Their agitprop is not well supported by the evidence.

“Their agitprop is not well supported by the evidence”

Exactly, but my point was, facts and evidence don’t matter to them. They got what they wanted to amp up thier useful idiots. And the “news” is saturated with it today.
