‘This Is Sick’: Unscripted and Unhinged Trump Reverts to Defending Neo-Nazis | Common Dreams

In what many observers characterized as an “unhinged” display for a president, Trump repeatedly assured reporters that he watched the events that unfolded over the weekend “very closely,” and came away with the conclusion that anti-racist protesters—who Trump claims “came charging in without a permit”—were “very violent,” and argued that there were many “good people” among the white supremacists who participated in the so-called “Unite the Right” rally on Saturday.”I think there’s blame on both sides and I have no doubt about it,” Trump said of the violence that left one woman dead and dozens injured.

Trump says it anew: blame ‘on both sides’ in Charlottesville – Chicago Tribune

Donald Trump said Tuesday that counterprotesters at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville acted violently and should share the blame for the mayhem that left a woman dead and many injured.Speaking at Trump Tower in Manhattan, the president called the events of Saturday at the “Unite the Right” rally a “horrible thing to watch,” but he emphasized that both sides acted irresponsibly.”You had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent,” Trump said. “No one wants to say that, but I’ll say it right now: You had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit and they were very, very violent.”Trump’s remarks came a day after he belatedly condemned the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and other hate groups that organized and participated in the rally. He had faced mounting pressure from lawmakers and civil rights groups over his failure to do so during his initial reaction to the violence, when he denounced violence “on many sides.”
