      Problem with argument that the media are to blame for quoting Trump’s Charlottesville comments ‘out of context’ is: how do you explain the fact that Trump’s top Jewish official, who was standing next to him at the time, almost quit in protest afterwards? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/25/us/politics/gary-cohn-trump-charlottesville.html … https://twitter.com/ianbremmer/status/1122209756121313285 …

      Another big problem with the new narrative that Trump didn’t offer aid and comfort to Nazis at Charlottesville (!) is that he specifically singled out for praise the people with ‘the permit’ - who were the Nazis and white nationalists (‘Unite the Right’)https://twitter.com/skooniebird/status/1122218501064855552?s=21 …

      He specifically called the people with the permit innocent. White Nationalists had the permit. pic.twitter.com/mvBfLtdQit

      We can parse+spin transcripts all we like but the facts are: after a woman was murdered by a neo-Nazi, the president made multiple failed efforts to condemn the killing & the neo-Nazis & angrily blamed ‘both sides’ in Charlottesville while praising a pro-slave Confederate General

      Finally, don’t forget: the guy who killed Heather Heyer in Charlottesville was a Trump fan. So was the guy arrested the other week for plotting to murder Ilhan Omar. So was the guy who sent pipe bombs to prominent Dems & Jews. Here’s a longer list by me:https://theintercept.com/2018/10/27/here-is-a-list-of-far-right-attackers-trump-inspired-cesar-sayoc-wasnt-the-first-and-wont-be-the-last/ …

          And today publicly ignored 2019 NFL first draft pick Kyler Murray, only to praise Trump supporter, budding white nationalist and #2 pick Bosa. 45 getting bolder about his racism.

          The scariest thing are that 3/4 of his supporters are evangelical Christians who somehow gloss over all of this.

          I asked a friend at Church about this and he had no idea what I was talking about. I explained how 1000's of children had been split from their parents & kept in cages. His response? "Fake news, that never happened." He truly didn't believe it. Scary times.

          It would be great if you could keep updating this list with Christchurch, the Coast Guard dude, etc. Praying that today's shooting isn't one of these, but it's so hard not to jump to conclusions.

          Question, will you condemn Nazi’s? Normal person: Yeah fuck them Nazi’s Trump: Bla blah blah excuses blah blah blah excuses He knows it’s a big part of his base & he doesn’t want to lose votes. Winning by any means is all he cares about. It’s really that simple.
