So the issue of removing confederate statues is passed? There "were" very fine people on both sides? The question asked to trump asked and answered was about two groups. The alt-left and white supremacists.
Reporter: "Mr. President, are you putting what you’re calling the alt-left and white supremacists on the same moral plane?" ....
Trump: "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 it was horrible. And it was a horrible thing to watch.
Reporter: "The neo-Nazis started this. They showed up in Charlottesville to protest --"
Trump: "Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves -- and
you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as 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."
No not THAT exchange. The other one. The good one.
I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.
