Alex Jones says Nazis at Charlottesville were actually “Jewish actors”. I dunno, maybe he got it mixed up with “Hogan’s Heroes”. ---

Maybe if I saw more right-wingers beating the crap out of Nazis, I’d believe them when they say that Nazis are technically left-wingers.

> [@Tee](#): > > Even now, the echo chambers do not see Nazis at Charlottesville; they see patriots fighting Communism. The whole gig depends on repeated confrontation and victimhood. So, yeah, both sides arm themselves, and the right sees one side as "certain individuals having nothing to do with our beliefs and goals” and on the other side the “violent, totalitarian Left.” Now the story going around is, the police viciously attacked them. Playing a nonexistent victim card. ---
