Trump didn’t call Neo-Nazies fine people.... there is a person named Richard Spencer who is a self-admitted “Agent provacateur” from the University of Chicago no less, who supposedly went from being an “Occupy Wall Street Liberal” to being a “National Socialist Right Winger” (whatever that is) and head of the so-called “Alt Right Movement” which up until then mostly contained groups of people that were sick of the Democrat Party but didn’t really fit into your stereotypical Conservative Republican molds.
By naming this group the Alt-Right and then intentionally associating it with the Klan, people like Spencer and David Duke try to keep Democrats on the plantation so to speak.
With regards to Charleston, they first organized a Klan rally and then at the last minute invited all the pro-Trump people on-line to something called Unite the Right which purported to unite the conservatives and Republicans with the newly named Alt-Right...thus providing a great photo op for lefties and allowing them to say, “See, I told you those Republicans are racists”.
It is all theater, and how no-one has called this guy out is beyond me.
This is from the fb page of Save the Robert E Lee Statue group, which had originally sponsored the rally because the city council had been debating and discussing removing the statue:
“It has come to our attention that several out-of-town groups associated with white supremacy and identarian beliefs conducted events and protests in both Lee and Jackson Parks today. Neither Save the Robert E. Lee Statue nor The Monument Fund were in any way involved in these events and only learned of them though media reports.
We remain committed to preserving the Robert E. Lee Monument in its park through the legal process in the courts because of its historic and artistic value. We soundly and completely reject racism, white supremacy, and any other identity based groups that preach division and hate no matter which side of the issue they happen to support.”
