Bill, please take this up with
@ScottAdamsSays. He's spreading what he calls the#FinePeopleHoax and "debunking it." He found one or two "peaceful statue protesters" who were interviewed and thinks Trump singling them out to muddy the moral waters somehow vindicates him.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

That’s a lot of work to turn “should be condemned totally” into “they are fine people” fake news. Here’s what they get wrong:https://bit.ly/2vwqxLD

So your point is that he wasn't praising the Nazis, just the racists?
