@lizzybetsdad @usncorpsman89 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer … and said he was specifically referring to those who were there only to participate in the statue protest.” They then reveal their sources.

@ScienceFan231 @usncorpsman89 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer Now you’re moving the goalposts. But I think you’re disingenuously dodging the fact that a form of fascism is at the core of Trump’s political appeal and his governing style.

People think it's perfectly okay to lie in the name of a "greater good". For example, these are all Leftist lies: Trump said there are fine people on both sides. Trump is controlled by Russia. Trump is a rapist. Trump is a racist. Trump is a pedophile. Trump is Hitler.

@lizzybetsdad @usncorpsman89 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer Snopes is not conservative. “We looked into these claims, and found that while Trump did say there were "very fine people on both sides," meaning both the protesters and the counterprotesters, he also condemned neo-Nazis and white nationalists outright…

@lizzybetsdad @usncorpsman89 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer I have subscribed to TNR for decades. But this is really a weak argument on their part. At best one could say he was ill informed—which what Snopes was saying—but there is no evidence Trump supports Nazis.

@ScienceFan231 @usncorpsman89 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer It’s right there on the tape, you moron. Just because you gaslighting shits don’t like that fact, it’s still a fact. I know you think you can bully reality out of existence, and you’ve tried like hell to do so here, but it’s still reality.

@YoucanAxel @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer Trump’s information was obviously about people who just wanted to keep the statues. He condemned Nazis. Trump has always been a friend to the Jewish state. His son is an Orthodox Jew. Polls have shown majorities of Orthodox Jews, who usually vote Democratic, supported Trump.

@ScienceFan231 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer It was a naci rally dude it was the one were they shouted Jews will not release us 🙄

@lizzybetsdad @usncorpsman89 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer No, the tape clearly says he condemned the neo Nazis. Read the Snopes article again more carefully.

@YoucanAxel @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer Those videos shown in that video of the neonazis are emotionally revolting. But not everyone has infinite time to watch every video, not even a president.

@ScienceFan231 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer Did u really watch the video??? If you did you'd see his first statement was after they day the tikki torch took place and he even said at night

@YoucanAxel @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer Like he had 100% total knowledge of what progressive news outlets were saying. Like that was the only information he was listening to.

@YoucanAxel @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer Yes, I watched the video. He even cited a NYT article about a chill demonstrator who was not a neo-nazi. His argument was that Prager couldn’t use that source. Does that make any sense?? Can I use it if I personally subscribe to the NYT??

@ScienceFan231 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer Did you even watch the video? It took him days to do it and then he took it back 🙄

@Rationalist69 @YoucanAxel @michaelshermer Sorry, but just because I disagree with someone, like statue enthusiasts, doesn’t mean they are racist or evil. I can’t believe I have to tell progressives this, but symbols are subjective. My conservative friends and family know I voted for Obama, but somehow no namecalling

@YoucanAxel @ScienceFan231 @michaelshermer It just seems to me the amount of charity to Trump on this point - that he missed this obviously hugely noteworthy event that everyone was talking about; that he was of course defending the innocent statue enthusiasts - requires not just charity but, like, the Red Cross

@lizzybetsdad @usncorpsman89 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer If you make an allegation, you need evidence. Citation needed!

@ScienceFan231 @usncorpsman89 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer He also called Neo-Nazis marching in Charlottesville “very fine people.” Trump talks out of six sides of his mouth so simps like yourself can claim he doesn’t actually mean the horrid shit the says. But his subsequent words and actions always clarify what he really believes.

@lizzybetsdad @usncorpsman89 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer Suddenly I’m a simp? I supported Nikki Haley. I have defended vaccines because of reading the scientific data. I defended the fact that COVID was dangerous again as a result of reading the scientific data. I follow the evidence where it leads. Your arguments make no sense.

@DBZYuYuYasha @MorosKostas We fought a war over Taney’s decision. 360,000 soldiers died. amazon.com/Battle-Cry-Fre…

@MorosKostas Some are entitled to special treatment BECAUSE Taney said those people weren't people because of their race.

The Roberts court says your vote isn't entitled to special treatment because of your race. The Taney court said you aren't a person because of your race. Ya man, totally, you nailed it.

@YoucanAxel @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer Your video shows MULTIPLE news sources showing Trump condemning neo-nazis; thank you.

@ScienceFan231 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer No he didn't you just don't know the timeline, he called Nazis fine people, and refused for days to take it back youtu.be/4T45Sbkndjc?is…

@lotusgdess @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer FALSE. He specifically CONDEMNED neo-Nazis in his speech. Read the speech again if you doubt this.

@ScienceFan231 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer Trump was referring to the ultra RW who attended those NAZI rallies: Jews will not replace us. Blood and soil. Russia is our friend. The South will rise again. Those were heavily documented in the media & Trump literally said there were good people on both sides. WTF Schermer ?

@lizzybetsdad @usncorpsman89 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer He condemned the neo-Nazis in that speech.

@ScienceFan231 @usncorpsman89 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer Snopes totally missed the mark on that one. It’s indisputable they he was saying there were “very fine people” at a neo-Nazi rally. There’s no other way to interpret it if you have a shred of intellectual or ethical integrity.

@usncorpsman89 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer Again, even if he was wrong about who was there, that doesn’t mean he was praising Nazis.

@ScienceFan231 @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer

@usncorpsman89 @LoganSkrzypczak @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer

@usncorpsman89 @LoganSkrzypczak @Rationalist69 @michaelshermer The sentence you referenced doubts there were fine people there. That is my point. You can claim Trump was wrong, but (using your critical thinking skills) you can’t say he was referring to Nazis as “fine people”.

@Rationalist69 @michaelshermer People mischaracterize events every day based on the media they consume. Not everyone has time to always go to original sources. Example: Trial of George Zimmerman. I too thought he was guilty…until I watched the trial on CNN.

@Rationalist69 @michaelshermer That doesn’t make any sense. Clearly not everyone follows the same news sources you do. And I recall at least one chill person being interviewed there. Even if you are correct, being wrong about characterizing an event immediately afterwards doesn’t make one “racist”.
