J. C. Watts used to be a conservative as I recall but idealogy is no measure of one’s intelligence. This Charlottesville event is a good test IMO.
The only right answer is to abhor violence when it comes to extremists fighting one another. One doesn’t has to take sides. Antifa, white supremacist, Nazi — they are are all wack-jobs.
Just another one. . .trying to make a point. . . thinking he will become relevant. .. not.

Black Power group member killed 2 Police Officers a couple days ago.
Did JC Watts condemn that group and that Racist?
Didn’t think so.
“
Yes.
The Light bulb had gone dim in Watts head.
Good Lord! J.C.Watts too....Why is it that many of us who heard President Trump speak clearly understood that he was against bigotry, racism, hateful behavior....
The media plants the seeds, hypes their creations, Dems join in and ‘story’ repeated over and over and over....and many believe...but, why are so many Republicans jumping on the band wagon? I’m SICK of them!
He’s a lobbyist now. Somebody high up in the GOPe sent him out there to take a dump on POTUS, IMO. This is a coordinated campaign to seize the beltway agenda from Trump. A lot of big issues are coming up with Congress gets back. Debt ceiling, budget, taxes, obamacare nonrepeal, etc.
Sorry JC can’t support or respect you anymore. You’ve obviously gotten sucked into Trump Derangement Syndrome.
I, too, agreed with what the President said....there was blame on both sides! And, anyone who watched the videos...with an open mind....could see that. But, again, the media stirred the pot to sensationalize and bash our President and, sadly, many Republicans signed on so they can appear politically correct. Cowards.
I’m assuming J.C Watts has already condemned the lunatic communist Antifa group.
LOL! I kid me sometimes.
One thing I’ve realize from reading at The Donald and 4 Chan: images matter.
I wish President Trump would get a crew in to have images on a screen during press conferences.
i would prefer to see the whole interview. JC watts is generally a good guy. he may be having his whole view taken out of context.
I remember when a lot of Freepers used to drool over him a a VP candidate, because he was black and called himself conservative. As I said back then, they would never suggest a white short time congressman who had accomplished nothing. Just the conservative version of affimative action, “see, we’re not racist!”.
President Trump did clearly and unequivocally condemn white supremacists. He also clearly and unequivocally condemned other violent socialists who were also involved in that event, which is entirely appropriate.
Not that it matters. If they had nothing else to whine about, they would be back to “Russia!” “Russia!” or even complaining that President Trump gets two scoops of ice cream when others at the table only get one scoop. Sensible people should give up on finding a way for President Trump to satisfy the Ctrl-Left. He threatens their path to absolute power over ordinary people, and America’s enemies on the left will never forgive him for that.
Sad, if true.
I always considered J.C. Watts to be a person of integrity.
I hear ya...that Kennedy on Fox went after him for the same damn thing. cannot get it
OK JC.
I hereby condemn and repudite the demoKKKrat racists. Ska-rew the late Robert Byrd.
