President Trump, remarks during a news conference on infrastructure, Aug. 15, 2017
The Facts
Walt Heinecke, a professor at the University of Virginia, told Moyer that he received a special events certificate of approval for events at McGuffey Park and Justice Park sites blocks from Emancipation Park, where white nationalists had a permit for a Saturday rally. A car allegedly driven by James Alex Fields Jr. rammed into counter-protesters, killing a 32-year-old woman, on Fourth Street, which runs adjacent to Justice Park.
The document is below, with Heineckes address and cellphone number removed.

(5,808 posts)Any bodily fluid would do for him rather than have facts. Since having a permit for the Alt. Rt group was soooo important for him, one might think that finding out if the other "side" had a permit would be one of the first thing he had his people check. I would bet money he did have it checked and knew better but lied his ass off, as is his custom. I hope the news people blast that back in his ugly mug tomorrow a.m. just in time for his first Tweet storm. Spread it far and wide with copies of their permit and call him a Big, Fat, MFing LIAR.
Every day he does more and more to give people a reason to despise him. How far does he have to go before people in the Republican Party come to know he is poison and will take them down, too, if they stay with him?? I am quite sure they know he is toxic, but why in heaven's name are they willing to stay on board with him? Maybe the bigger question is what does he have on THEM?
