@Demosthenes I absolutely agree that these folks all need to be denounced. However, in answer to your question about who should denounce them, I absolutely believe that all those that push the Anti-Trump narrative, including all the Dems in Congress and all the liberal media outlets need to lead the way when anti-Trump violence occurs. Unless, of course, they are okay with it.
We have heard parrotted a couple times here on this thread alone about how Trump said the white supremacists and Neo-Nazis were very fine people. I have posted several times the actual exchange where that statement came from. Here is a link to that exchange where the “very fine people” quote came from. Here are some of the excerpts that came from that exchange…said by President Trump”
“As I said on remember this, Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. It has no place in America”
” I think the driver of the car is a disgrace to himself, his family and this country. And that is – you can call it terrorism, you can call it murder. You can call it whatever you want. I would just call it as the fastest one to come up with a good verdict. That’s what I’d call it. And there is a question. Is it murder? Is it terrorism? Then you get into legal semantics. The driver of the car is a murderer, and what he did was a horrible, horrible, inexcusable thing.”
” Those people – all of those people, excuse me – I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. ”
“I am not putting anybody on a moral plane, what I’m saying is this: you had a group on one side and a group on the other, and they came at each other with clubs and it was vicious and horrible and it was a horrible thing to watch, but there is another side.”
“It’s fine, you’re changing history, you’re changing culture, and you had people – and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally – but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people, but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats – you had a lot of bad people in the other group too.”
“Excuse me, they didn’t put themselves down as neo-Nazis, 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.”
“If you look, they were people protesting very quietly, the taking down the statue of Robert E. Lee. I’m sure in that group there were some bad ones. The following day, it looked like they had some rough, bad people, neo-Nazis, white nationalists, whatever you want to call ‘em. But you had a lot of people in that group that were there to innocently protest and very legally protest, because you know, I don’t know if you know, but they had a permit. The other group didn’t have a permit. So I only tell you this: there are two sides to a story. I thought what took place was a horrible moment for our country, a horrible momen”
Now I know it goes against everything the liberal media and the Dems have drummed into people’s heads, but he pretty much denounced the violence totally and the Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists specifically what…4 times? 5? And unlike the president, your fellow liberal jellies cannot bring themselves to denounce violence by those “on their side”. Go back up this thread a look. There is a lot of blaming Trump for all sorts of things, including using the Charlottesville Lie, yet not a one of your fellow libs has yet to say that what was done was wrong. Excuses have been made, deflections have gone out, but you are the only one that has actually said the actions were wrong and should be denounced. Congrats. And you are 100% correct. Actions like this should be denounced especially by the leaders of the “side” which is represented by their actions. Attacking Trump supporters is a pretty sure thing that it isn’t conservatives or Republicans doing it. It is people that buy all the hatred spewed by the left for all things Trump. There has been zero acknowledgement from most on the left that any of these actions or radical groups are wrong.
