http://nypost.com/2017/08/13/trump-badly-missed-the-mark-on-charlottesville/We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. On many sides. Such was President Trumps statement Saturday on the violence in Charlottesville, Va.
Really: That was it.
Yet many sides didnt drive a car into a crowd, an evident act of terrorism that killed Heather Heyer, 32, and hospitalized many more, with some still in critical condition.
It shouldnt be that hard to summon up a few Trumpian terms like losers and really, really bad people to describe the hundreds of neo-Nazis, Klansmen, white supremacists and the like who descended on the college town not after one of them has killed an innocent.
No doubt the thousands of counterprotesters included a fringe of hard-left losers, such as the antifa thugs who seem to relish armed conflict. But the vast bulk of them had nothing to do with hatred, bigotry and violence: You dont have to be any kind of radical to be anti-Nazi.

(4,533 posts)4. He ran a Bigot campaign so he can't disown his fellow haters
He attacked Mexicans as thieves and racists, promised to wall them off. Promised to go after muslims. He ran as an authoritarian bigot, his voters are therefore bigots. So obviously he can't blast a bigot who drives his car into a crowd.
