That wasn't what he said. He said if the evidence defends him fine. You however are bending over backwards for some nazi trash
No, I'm not. I'm defending the rule of law, and the right to free speech, even free speech we don't like.
I'm confident that if the peaceful demonstration/dialogue were permitted, these neo-KKK white supremacists would lose in the open exchange of ideas. Denying them speech and beating them up in Charlottesville gives them martyrdom, and demonstrates the Antifa side are as thuggish and wrong as the supremacists.
If the Antifa side had simply limited themselves to a dialogue, they would have handily won. I don't defend anyone who marches with supremacist/Nazi flags and symbols. The white supremacist demonstrators lost all credibility at this point for me. They are as mired in hate ideology as the Black Lives Matter movement.
But ultimately, all this is about smearing Trump and conflating him with racist extremists.
