Several prominent Republicans, never-Trumpers, took issue with Trump blaming both sides for the violence that erupted in Charlottesville, VA. But Trump is correct and Mitt Romney, John McCain, et.al. are wrong.
On one side you had the white supremacists, not to be confused with the nationalists who are not racist. As the other side was Antifa, the anti-fascists that use Hitler’s Black Shirt Nazi violent tactics to attack and destroy as they did in Berkeley. The Nazis were racist. Aligned with the Antifa is Black Lives Matter, a race based, racist anti-police terrorist group.
Romney, McCain and the anti-Trump Republican establishment are letting their anti-Trump bias blind them to the ugly racism demonstrated on both sides. In March 2017, the famous political scientist Charles Murray was to give a talk at Middlebury College in Vermont. Murray and MiddleBury professor Allison Stanger were attacked by a bunch of protestors dressed in the standard Antifa style. This is another example of the radical left attacking, in this case, White professors.
Antifa, Black Lives Matter, BAMN, Redneck Revolt, Huey P. Newton Gun Club and others are all part of the “Alt Left” movement. They are funded by George Soros organizations and directed by the leaders of the Democratic Party, the party of racism and slavery.
This is the party that started the Civil War to maintain slavery of Black people.
This is the party that created onerous Jim Crow laws.
This is the party that created the Klu Klux Klan, the militant arm of the party that so resembled Hitler’s Black Shirts.
This is the party that, under Woodrow Wilson, segregated Blacks out of government positions.
Finally, this is the party that continues to enslave minorities on Democrat plantations in the inner cities.
It was a Republican president who signed the Emancipation Proclamation, not a Democrat.
It was the Republican Party that was founded as the anti-slavery party.
It was the Republican Party that passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, granting Blacks freedom, citizenship and the right to vote, not the Democratic Party.
It was the Republican Party that passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875, not the Democratic Party.
It was the Republican party that passed, by the greatest percentage of votes, the Civil Rights Acts of the 1950s and 1960s, not the Democratic Party.
It was the Republican Party, under George W. Bush, that appointed more Black people to high-level positions than any president in history, not the Democratic Party.
The Republican establishment has lost its way. It has become an echo for the Democratic Party.
The violence in Charlottesville, VA., was on both sides. President Trump is right.
