Nope, there were none nor was there any reason to believe there were. It was the Unite the Right rally. A rally by racists to unite various racist groups. It was conceived by racists, promoted by racists, sponsored by racists, and attended by racists. He condemned some racists but called others "very fine people."It was a racist rally, ya dumbfuck. There were no "NON-ws" there. There were no "very fine people" among the racists.It was no lie, ya piece of shit. There was a rally of various racist rightwing groups, including, but not limited to, neonazis, neoconfederate, kkk, white nationalists and other assorted white supremacists. He condemned some of them but said others among them were "very fine people."ou said that the "means by which the rabid right" got it's information was not effected.
I agreed with the point, though I dropped your partisan spin.
I went on to make a point that my original concern was more about the more moderate voters.
That was not a "backhanded insult". That was my conceding your point. There was no insult at all.
"might have learned to ignore the propaganda spouted by people like you"
Then you besmirch and sow mistrust of my fellow Americans and try to instill faithlessness in our democratic elections with:
"they are not an informed electorate, but a MISINFORMED electorate."
"And the election is thus not legitimate."
I completely disagree.
DO you believe that President Trump said that ws were "very fine people"?
I don't have to believe what he said, we have recordings.
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.
"But there is another side. There was a group on this side. You can call them the left -- you just called them the left -- that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that’s the way it is.
Reporter: (Inaudible) "… both sides, sir. You said there was hatred, there was violence on both sides. Are the --"
Trump: "Yes, I think there’s blame on both sides. If you look at both sides -- I think there’s blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, and you don’t have any doubt about it either. And if you reported it accurately, you would say."
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."
Reporter: "George Washington and Robert E. Lee are not the same."
Trump: "George Washington was a slave owner........"

In Context: Trump’s ‘very fine people on both sides’ remarks
On Aug. 15, 2017, President Donald Trump held a press conference to discuss an executive order he had signed on infrastrwww.politifact.com
And thank you for proving my point that you people are the ones pushing propaganda and lies.
That you can stand by that lie, after it has been so repeatedly and completely debunked, shows that you are beyond saving.
That you people SUCCESSFULLY pushed that lie, and made it stick, is incredible.
That the American voters, as a group, were SUCCESSFULLY LIED TO THAT THE US PRESIDENT WAS SYMPATHETIC TO WHITE SUPREMACISTS, MAKES THE ELECTORATE MISINFORMED AND THE ELECTION ILLEGETIMATE.
He clearly and explicitly stated that he was not referring to ws, but to the NON-ws who were there.
You know that. It has been repeatedly explained to you. YOU ARE LYING RIGHT NOW.
My point stands. IF the American voter had not been lied to, on such an epic scale, the vote would have been very different.
Different enough that the lie is effectively Fraud by Deception.
Trump clearly was on the opinion there were non-ws there, in support of the statues.
You know that. You are choosing to pretend to not know that, to lie.
That is my point.
You people sold the lie that one of the candidates was a fucking WHITE SUPREMACIST.
That made the electorate, not INFORMED AND FREE, but MISINFORMED.
Thus, FRAUD BY DECEPTION.
That is your opinion. Trump clearly stated that he had another opinion.
You people did not attack him based on his opinion being wrong.
You lied about what he said. You lied about what he meant.
You told the American voters, that the President said that ws were "very fine people:.
That if true, would be a valid and huge point AGAINST him by the vast majority of voters.
ANd you made it stick.
That makes the election, FRAUD BY DECEPTION.
