"In one voice, our nation must concern racism, bigotry, and white supremecy."

Then followed up by yet another out of context "very fine people" clip.

8/5/2019

Also in this clip, @NorahODonnell: "President @realDonaldTrump denounced white supremecy today."

But wait, there's more.

. @realDonaldTrump: "Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans."

After having his candidacy endorsed by the KKK's "The Crusader", Trump's campaign replied: "This publication is repulsive and their views do not represent the tens of millions of Americans who are uniting behind our campaign."
11/1/16

And in that same statement regarding the endorsement in the crusader, the #Trump campaign added: "The campaign denounces hate in any form."

Not convinced?

. @realDonaldTrump: "We are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our creator. We are equal under the law. We are equal under our constitution."

...

. @realDonaldTrump continuing... "Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America."

Not yet satisfied?

In March 2016, @realDonaldTrump: "How many times do I have to reject? I've rejected David Duke, I've rejected the KKK, the Ku Klux Klan. From the time I'm 5 years old, I've rejected them."
You might be wondering, March 2016? Why is this not known?

. @realDonaldTrump follows up that statement, "when I put out that I reject the KKK and David Duke, nobody picks it up! You know why they don't? They don't want to pick it up."

And yet, more

Question to @realDonaldTrump: "David Duke is saying to his supporters and followers, 'vote for Donald Trump' and white supremacists are saying 'vote for Trump.' Do you want those votes?"


Do you think he does? Do you know what his answer was?

. @realDonaldTrump: "No, I don't want them period And I don't want them to say that. I can't help that he says it, but I don't want it."

Reporter follows up with, "What do you think about white supremacist anyway?"

well, what does Trump reply?

. @realDonaldTrump: "I don't like any group of hate. Hate groups are not for me. But I've said this before. The press hates me to say it. They just don't want to pick it up."

So that brings us to what most consider the smoking gun, Charlottesville.

What was actually said in Charlottesville:
Reporter to @realDonaldTrump: "You're putting what you're calling alt left and white supremacists on the same moral plane?" [1]

. @realDonaldTrump: "I'm not putting anybody on a moral plane, what I'm saying is this, you had a group on one side and you had a group on the other and they came at each other with clubs, and it was vicious, and horrible. And it was a horrible thing to watch."
[2] cont

. @realDonaldTrump cont: "but there is another side. There was a group on this side, you can call them the left, you just called them the left, that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that's the way it is." [3] cont.

Reporter cont: "You said there was hatred, there was violence on both sides, sir?"

@realDonaldTrump: "Yes, I think there's blame on both sides." [4] cont.

You look at both sides, I think there's blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, and you don't have any doubt about it either. And if you reported it accurately, you would say it." [5] cont.

Reporter: "The neo-nazis started this, they showed up in charlottesville, to protest the removal of that statue."

@realDonaldTrump interrupts... [6] cont.

. @realDonaldTrump: "Excuse me they DIDNT put themselves down as neonazis. You had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides."
BOTH SIDES: Statue Topplers v Statue Topplers Protestors. Trump ISNT talking about neonazis [7]

Continued @realDonaldTrump: "Excuse me, I saw the same pictures you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E Lee to another name." [8] cont.

Continued @realDonaldTrump: "George Washington was a slave owner. Was George Washington a slave owner? So will George Washington now lose his status, are we going to take down statues to George washington?" [9]cont

Continued @realDonaldTrump: "How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him? Okay, good period because he was a major slave owner. Now are we going to take down his statue?" [10] cont

Continued @realDonaldTrump: "you're changing history, you're changing culture, and you had people, and I'm not talking about the neo-nazis and the white nationalists, BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE CONDEMNED TOTALLY..." emphasis added [11] cont

Continued @realDonaldTrump: "But many people in that group OTHER than neo-nazis and white nationalists, okay? The press has treated them absolutely unfairly."
On ProStatuers
[12] cont

Cont @realDonaldTrump: "Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people. But you also had some troublemakers and you see them come with a black outfit, with the helmet, and with the baseball bat. You got a lot of bad people in the other group too."

On AntiStatuers [13]

Reporter: "Are you saying the press has treated White Nationalists unfairly?"

@realDonaldTrump: "No. There were people in that rally, and I looked the night before. If you look, there were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the Statue of Robert E Lee." [14]

Continued @realDonaldTrump: "I'm sure in that group there were some bad ones. The following day, it looked like they had some rough, bad people--neo-nazis, white nationalist, whatever you want to call them..." [15]

Continued @realDonaldTrump: "but you had a lot of people in that group that we're there to innocently protest, and very legally protest, because you know they had a permit, the other group didn't have a permit..." [16]

Continued @realDonaldTrump: "so, I only tell you this, there are two sides to the story. I thought what took place was a horrible moment for our country. A horrible moment. But there are two sides to the country [sic] (story)."

The Charlottesville Smear is A LIE.

Trump's "both sides" is NOT white vs black. IT'S STATUE DEFENDERS VS. STATUE ENDERS.

@realDonaldTrump only and wholly condemned neo Nazis and white supremecy at this event. Full stop.

If this is new to you, that's because the pundits are manipulating you into a false narrative that they politically capitalize on.

@realDonaldTrump isn't racist, he never was. It's about time we stand up and say it, because they sure as hell aren't listening to him.
