... On Monday .. thousands of far-right demonstrators descended on the city center en masse. They chanted nationalistic slogans (“Chemnitz is ours — foreigners out”) and reportedly gave Nazi salutes ... A video also circulated that showed what appeared to be right-wing protesters chasing a person whom they perceived to be a foreigner through the streets.

In response, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has offered to send federal assistance to quell the violence, as local police faced criticism for failing to tamp down the demonstrations and counterdemonstrations ...

Here's what Chancellor Merkel actually said:

In response, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has offered to send federal assistance to quell the violence, as local police faced criticism for failing to tamp down the demonstrations and counterdemonstrations.

Merkel also condemned the protests, with her spokesperson saying that “what was seen yesterday in parts of Chemnitz and what was recorded on video has no place in our country.”

FYI - Angela Merkel grew up in the formerly communist East Berlin, and the city of Chemnitz is a formerly communist east German city. I'm sure that Chancellor Merkel has a way better idea what's going on there than Lara Trump does.

I'm afraid LaTrumps views are posted in the comments section. That's the reality we live in.

OK, not really.

But some people will believe anything they read on the internet if conforms with what they WANT to believe.
