    I'm just looking for an honest answer.  In his both sides are fine people press conference.   President TRUMP clearly said, “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”

    He clearly said it.  So why is the media saying that President TRUMP didn't condemn the neo Nazis and white nationalists during the press conference.  He clearly said, “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”  

    It's on YouTube.   Why does the media leave this part out?  He also repeatedly condemned hate, racism, the kik, Nazis, and white nationalists in an address to the nation the day before.  

    So my question is,  how can the media talk all night with panels of people saying he didn't condemn, when they know he really did condemn?  That's so weird.   Are they totally nuts?

    I've got a serious question. What made you even bring this stuff up? Such old news. Is the media rehatching it?

    Rehashing it? The media and the left never let this go. Obviously, most of us are intelligent to understand what that comment meant. The left clings to it like a pillar that Trumps a racist because he said "there's good people on each side"... The comment was not intended to mean he support the neonazi's but that's been plastered to him like he's a Russian... I can't wait to hear what the next excuse when he wins in a landslide in 2020... The dems have no one that can touch him. Either a bunch of old white men (Bernie & Biden) or the diversity wing which has no chance at all or the happy guy and his husband for POTUS... Seriously? The Democratic Party is a dumpster fire and the media adds the gasoline. Completely slandered Trump for 2.5 years now, it's embarrassing. Meanwhile the GDP came in at 3.2% for first quarter of 2019... Good luck competing with that...

    Has the media not let this go or are you not letting it go? Honest question as I don't obsess over CNN/Fox News like alot of you so maybe they talk about it and I don't hear it. I never here it mentioned which makes this just seem completely out of the blue. And my mother in law loves all the worst of CNN, and she lives with us, so even though I can't stand it, I hear it enough in passing. What was the recent remark that made him decide to post this. Not enough to just say, "They're always mention it." because it all just sounds like b.s. Also, who are the "good people"? Not the neo-nazis but the Neo-Nazi hags? The ones that don't have the balls to shave their heads and throw on some braces and laces so they put on a polo and go to a rally? If the President had any balls, what he should've said is that they aren't any good people on any side. Spin it however you like but everybody on both sides were/are completely f*cked. Show me a politician with the balls to say that and risk alienation from both sides. It'd be political suicide but honesty usually is. I repeat: THERE WERE NO GOOD PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THAT SH*T SHOW.

    With that said, the reason the hung on it so much then, and if they hang on it so much now(if they do cuz I don't see it) the reason is because they had tried the Trump is sexist is approach during the election so Trump is Racist was just next in line next.(It was followed by Trump is a philanderer and Trump colluded with a foreign power. Now it's taxes.) Maybe he is a racist, I don't know him personally, but if he is there isn't much out there to show it. There are people's claims, after the fact. Trumps been in the public eye for, what, 40 years? No real evidence exist. No Trump in black face at a costume party? Even Paula Dean got caught using the N-word.

    Stu it is back in play because Biden used the "good people on both sides" misquote as the centrepiece when kicking off his 2020 campaign.

    Watch the first min. of his launch video.

    Joe Biden is bringing up the the president's response in order to appeal to voters.. his announcement video centered around the riots to criticize President Trump’s response at the time..it's a lie and he knows it.

    Biden even opened his video in Charlottesville, Virginia, the scene of violent clashes between white nationalists and protesters..

    The very fine people in that group the President was referring to were there to protest the taking down of a statue of  Robert E. Lee and the renaming of a park to another name..

    Biden twisted President Donald Trump’s reaction to the clashes and took him out of context,   When,in fact, in 1975 then-Sen. Biden voted in favor of a bill to restore deceased Civil War Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s citizenship.. it's Joe Biden who is the a flaming hypocrite..

    In Biden's announcement video...he contrasted the white nationalists with the opposing groups, calling the latter “a courageous group of Americans.” He didn’t mention that among that group was Antifa members, armed with weapons such as clubs....ol'sanctimonious two-faced Joe..

    Trump: "I love licorice, but do not like the black kind"

      MSM:  Trump does not like black "kind".

    This is the game they are playing. Create racial division, stage hate crimes. Power grab.

    Hate is nothing new in our country. Different people have been the recipients of hate over the decades. What is new for most of us it the hate is being fueled by the President.

    He has a history of hate in his business dealings. He connected with the uneducated part of the country who fear for their jobs & were politically connected to no one. They are now on board a sinking ship with all the other cowards in Congress that allow him to get away with his ridiculous behavior.

    He is his own worst enemy because he can't keep his mouth shut & he's an unmitigated liar. 

    It will be over soon.

    A Charlottesville Circuit Judge Richard Moore has just ruled that the statues are war monuments, which are protected under state law. That likely means the city doesn't have the legal right to take them down.

    In his nine page ruling, Moore cites the fact that both Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson are depicted in their military uniforms and on horses associated with their time in the Civil War.

    Gen. Robert E. Lee was a good and honorable man  No matter what Joe Biden say's..

    And to answer brother Slim, I think there were virtually no good people on either side. I'm sure there was one random grandmother, from Virginia, who was there in support of preserving history but for the most part, those people knew good and damn well what they were there for. And that's why you had so many people there from the north with zero ties to the south or it's history. And I get that it's part of "America's history" but give me a forking break. No good people on either side. And the POTUS should've said that. We need a strong parental figure that can come in and say, "Alright kids, knock this shyt off! And I don't want to hear who started it. I'm ending it!"

    And every time I hear you say something to the effect of "...connected to the uneducated..." I want to lose it. Every Trump supporter isn't uneducated and every Hillary supporter isn't a Rhodes scholar. All politicians connect to a base that includes some who are undereducated. And those people are exploited by both sides. It's this attitude, this "...either you agree with me or you're stupid. And a racist." attitude that has turned people away from the party. Hillary's "basket of deplorables" comment, aside from being corny as shyt, was a watershed moment. It showed people the "we'll tell you how you feel and if you disagree, you're stupid" nature of the party.

    I've heard a lot of accusations and hear say come out after the fact. Stuff that never was talked about for the 40 years prior that he was in office but whatever. If you're gonna use a phrase like "history of", you have to back it up with more than emojis, bro. And not with mere conjecture either.

    How about we take just the last 2 weeks or so...

    Black churches torched in Louisiana.

    Dude mows down pedestrians he believed to be Muslim.

    White supremacist opens fire at a synagogue.

    ISIS inspired plot thwarted in Los Angeles.

    These are all examples of hate.

    Nice try Midnight... A couple incidents, some that didn't even happen in a country of 330M... There's a real problem in a country where we have people from all over the world and for the most part get along just fine. There will always be a couple nuts that get the headlines.

    I didn't have to let Charlottesville go because I never had it. I know what he meant from the beginning. The media/left twisted it into something it wasn't... It's the same as asking at a rally with thousands for the Russians to release Hillary's emails. The left actually points to that as proof positive that he colluded with the Russians. You can't make that up. Of course he didn't pay $11M for a dossier that started in Russia. No that don't count...

    In 1973 he was sued by the Department of Justice for housing discrimination to African Americans.

    I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys wearing .... Those are the only kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else... Besides that, I tell you something else. I think that's guy's lazy. And it's probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks." 

    He stated he wouldn't get a fair shake in a court case because the judge was Mexican. 

    • 1980s: Kip Brown, a former employee at Trump’s Castle, accused another one of Trump’s businesses of discrimination. “When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor,” Brown . “It was the eighties, I was a teenager, but I remember it: They put us all in the back.”
    • 1988: In a commencement speech at Lehigh University, Trump accusing countries like Japan of “stripping the United States of economic dignity.” This matches much of his current rhetoric on China.
    • 1989: In a controversial case that’s been characterized as a modern-day lynching, four black teenagers and one Latino teenager — the “Central Park Five” — were accused of attacking and raping a jogger in New York City. Trump immediately took charge in the case, running  demanding, “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!” The teens’ convictions were later vacated after they spent , and the city paid $41 million in a settlement to the teens. But Trump in October 2016  he still believes they’re guilty, despite the DNA evidence to the contrary.
    • 1992: The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino  because it transferred black and women dealers off tables to accommodate a big-time gambler’s prejudices.

    Is that the best you got?  If you knew anything about how Indian Casinos worked, from financing their consyruction to actual operations, you would realize that not only are those comments not racist, they're valid.

    As far as The Apprentice, he was just making a comment what he surmises that people want to see. And even within your own quote, he refers to it with negative connotation.

    Look, i'm not even a Trump guy. I just get tired of people posting bullshyt, then twisting said bullshyt to fit their narrative.
