Wow, I just signed up because a Google search led me to these forums, and it seems like everyone is a liberal on here.
Trump never said that white supremacists or neo-Nazis were 'fine people', if that's what you're going for. This is another example of persistent fake news. The President was only describing those who were present in Charlottesville to protest the existence of the statue or its removal from the public square. You can see this for yourself in the transcript.
As for the main topic though, they should really take Nehlen off the list (though no one should really be following the SPLC in the first place since they're horribly dishonest). Nehlen is anti-semetic for sure, and that should disqualify him. However, he was also subject to a vicious disinformation campaign that falsely accused him of being a white nationalist or supremacist. He's neither of those things.
Wow, so you're googling white nationalism and start out by treating "liberal" as an insult (or even more funny you attribute anyone taking issue with white nationalism as being liberal). I'm sure you're one of those "very fine people".
The fuck he didn't. The people he was saying had "fine people" were fucking white nationalists. If he's too fucking dumb to know basic facts before saying shit like that then you're a bigger idiot to defend him. That you seemingly prefer him being such a dumbass that he'll defend a group (that fucking killed someone and multiple others arrested for assaulting people) without knowing seemingly almost anything about them, let alone his history of being blatantly fucking racist himself, just makes you trying to be the biggest dumbass of all.
Well you're flat out wrong, you know. Trump denounced those nationalist groups that showed up, and explicitly praised only those who arrived before them to protest the statue's existence or removal.
Whether or not regular citizens were actually present before the nationalists showed up is irrelevant. If they were there, then Trump was referring to real people. If they weren't there, then Trump praised a non-existent group. However, his praise for the non-existent group doesn't magically get transferred to the torch carrying nationalists. Also, fine people absolutely do show up to protest regardless of who's there. Why should citizens of that town be kicked out of their own square?
No, you really need to actually check your facts. No he didn't, he said they had "fine people" in them. No he did not do that. And you ignore that he did that several days after they assaulted and actually killed someone. He was keenly aware those people were part of the group he was saying had fine people in it. Considering that even Turmp doesn't known what the fuck he's saying (which you're actually using to try and defend him) half the time, and "corrects" himself a shitload, its hilarious that you're trying to say what he meant.
No its not. You're making almost a literal strawman argument (well if they existed or not doesn't matter, he thought they mattered, and therefore you're going to argue these nonexistent people regardless of facts). No, see, he clearly was praising the group that was there. That you think he doesn't know what those people were is your problem. That you're ok with him being a fucking idiot to the point of not knowing very basic facts of the shit he's talking about is bad regardless of the topic. That you're using that to excuse him being a racist is just idiotic on your part.
Oh, so now you're saying there were fine white nationalists? Then why fucking bother trying to argue that Turmp didn't know that if you're just going to excuse it anyway?
Why don't you ask the white nationalists that came from elsehwere to do that? You do know it wasn't most of their town, right?
I mean, you coming in and arguing that people are factually wrong, then showing you apparently know about as much actual facts as the dumbass Turmp, saying he wasn't racist just possibly dumbass, then saying he was fine to say fine people in there anyway (regardless of it being stupid and/or racist), is just hilarious on a new level.
Its like Schroedinger's Dumbass Equation. The very fine racist people may or may not have existed in Charlottesville. They must've only become racist dicks once observed though! But because Turmp didn't observe they get to still exist as non-racists.
