"Conservative" says leftists faked Chalottesville violence...

She cites a Alex Jones "reporter," to boot.

Sylvia Thompson: Violence In Charlottesville Was Staged By Fascists Leftists And Deep State Operatives
By Kyle Mantyla | August 14, 2017 10:23 am

During a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, this past weekend, an alt-right activist rammed his car into a group of counter-protesters, killing one and injuring dozens more.
But that is not how black conservative writer Sylvia Thompson saw things, writing in a new column on BarbWire.com that the white nationalist marchers were peaceful but had been infiltrated by “deep state operatives,” meaning that any violence was “a staged effort by fascist leftists” to “scuttle President Trump’s efforts on behalf” of whites who are facing a “direct attack on their existence”:

Every terrorist attack perpetrated by a white person is a false flag operation. But not one attack that is perpetrated by home grown blacks or Muslims is a false flag attack.

I wonder why that could be...

That the torch bearers of Friday night wearing Trump's MAGA hats were leftist liberals also.

Another Conservative covering up what is becoming so painfully clear, hate is on the march in this country.

Isn't it weird how the only faces of color we see in the visual media are people like Michael Steele (though not so much anymore), Sheriff Clarke, and now this new entry in the "Bet you did Nazi that coming" sweepstakes? Yet we can't get an unfiltered appearance by Rev. Barber from North Carolina, or a free five minutes of Rep. Waters. For some reason.

Always a few, always laughable.
