        Not just because it wasn't in his country, but his "friends" weren't the ones doing the attacking. #DumpTrump

        It is a fact that the counter-protestors had a permit to be in VA when the Nazis did. In fact they had permits for two parks.

        He still has not identified the Charlottesville attack as terrorism, despite the obvious similarities in methods & ideological goals.
