I am having a hard time with this past weekends events. Here is the transcript of President Trump's Press Conference yesterday.

I have read it over and over again and I can't seem to find where he doesn't denounce the KKK, Neo-Nazi's, White Supremacists. It seems the issue at hand is BECAUSE he said Anti-fa is bad and holds some fault in this weekends horrific event that his comments on the other bad group are cancelled out. People, we either have a 1st amendment or we don't. I don't like what these vile disgusting groups have to say. But if they are not committing crimes they can spew their hatred. By the media giving them attention and physical altercations being brought to them you legitimize them. These groups need to be mocked/laughed at. When you resort to violence you become no better than the group you oppose. The Supreme Court has time and time again (unanimously in most cases) sided with the those accused of hate speech. I will not be commenting on this thread. If you want to PM me feel free. But I truly think if you take emotion out of it and read what the President has stated a level minded person can not find fault or make the claims that the President does not denounce these groups.

He made statements over and over condemning the violence, names some groups by name, and tells the truth that there was and is violence on both sides. The left and their puppet media thinks that isn't a fact and means things he didn't say at all. It's not news and I hope more people are cutting the cord.
I think it's just a matter of left wing vs right wing vs chicken wings. I'm tired of listening to the Liberal Media complain about Trump as much as I'm tired of listening to the Conservative Media defend him.
Donald Trump is the President of the United States of America for the next 3+ Years (unless something comes up where he is removed from office). Everyone in the US media needs to get over that fact and MOVE ON. It's been 7 Months, People!
I find myself not looking at the news much anymore because all of it is garbage, everywhere. I wish there was a "current events" news source that consisted of NO POLITICS. I would subscribe to that News Channel / Website ...
But hey, that's just my opinion...
I was wondering the same thing myself, the current narrative is framed where either you're left or right, and you can be correct as long as your find place inside one of the two sides. The narrative outside of either sides just won't be covered in the media. Sad day
Agreed, well said!
