Charlottesville trump
Biden
correctly described who was marching that day, and then he correctly characterized
Trump’s comments. The idea that he’s launching his campaign on the “Charlottesville trump hoax” or the “Charlottesville trump lie” is a rather amazing contention.
Trump does
this a lot. He will say something suggestive — in this case, suggestive that
the violence in Charlottesville trump
wasn’t really such a clear-cut result of resurgent racism — and then he will
later say something else to give himself plausible deniability. But the
plausibility here is basically nil. Trump seemed to find something redeeming in
a group of protesters that was clearly full of racists. And even though a person
in this group actually killed someone, he decided the blame needed to be shared
with another group that wasn’t nearly so monolithic or hateful — and didn’t
kill anyone. After an outcry, Trump on Aug.
13 offered a more forceful denunciation of the white supremacists,
neo-Nazis and white nationalists who had rallied in Charlottesville
trump. But then, on Aug.
15, he again returned to the “both sides” commentary, saying there was both
“blame” and “very fine people” on each side that day.
