Also real mature to say McCain ruined it for me, points him out in the crowd, and says you can ask him. Teenagers are even more mature than that. ---

At least for me, I would gladly work for Mueller for free. Anything to rid us of the orangutan turd in the Whitehouse. ---

So…for Saturday’s violence, [he’s blaming the Nazis _and_ the people who oppose Nazis.](http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/15/trump-asks-why-alt-left-not-being-blamed-for-charlottesville-violence-241660) People who oppose fucking Nazis are now “alt-left.” He’s doubled down, ladies and gentlemen. It appears Team Bannon is now in the lead. I keep wondering when this fucking jackass will finally cross the line once and for all, and isn’t this it? This line of messaging can’t end well for him, or anyone. Blaming people who \*oppose \*Nazis and \*oppose \*white supremacists for the violence this weekend? He’s just shy of saying “If those people on the ‘alt-left’ hadn’t been there causing trouble, that guy wouldn’t have had to drive over them with his car.” ---

I can’t see anything wrong with being hate-filled toward fascist white nationalists and Nazis carrying torches. If this were a run-of-the-mill Trump rally, “hate-filled” would be a bit much. But this wasn’t your run-of-the-mill Trump rally. It was a Trump rally with racism as its focal point. ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > I can’t see anything wrong with being hate-filled toward fascist white nationalists and Nazis carrying torches. I guess you missed the “club wielding” and “beating” parts, did you? Do you see anything wrong with that? In any case, this was in response to the righteous indignation to Trump’s “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.” So - when Trump says this, he’s a racist. But when a NY Times reporter says this, is she racist? ---
