President Donald Trump, in a combative news conference Tuesday, said “both sides” were to blame in violent weekend clashes in Charlottesville, Va., a day after putting the responsibility squarely on white nationalists.
“I think there is blame on both sides,” said Mr. Trump, referring to the white nationalist protesters holding a demonstration in the city and the counterprotesters facing off against them.
“You had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent and nobody wants to say that but I’ll say it right now,” the president said.
He added: “You had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit. They were very violent.”
Explaining Tuesday why he waited to call out white nationalist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis by name, Mr. Trump said: “Before I make a statement, I need the facts.”
On Saturday, Mr. Trump said: “We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides.”

Two wrongs don't make a right. However with this stupid media and liberals they will of course say they are right and everybody else is racist! I am getting sick and tired of this grade school crap!
Yesterday in a 6 o clock news promo the banner line was "Trump sends mixed signals, story at six". Newscasters at WBOC are reading misinformation and outright lies. It's very simple. Local newscasters are more susceptible to local pressure. They need to know if they read bullcrap AP copy written by the DNC designed to enflame and cause division they will be held accountable. If they want to be a mouthpiece for BLM Communists and spout anti American rhetoric, they need to be exposed and shut down with impunity. It's time to push back against the thugs that are co-opting our country and destroying our core values and very way of life. I don't want Salisbury turned into a Communist ghetto and clearly that is the way it's headed. WBOC is helping the lefts agenda. Period. Make them pay the price. Maybe we should unmask them? Publish their tag numbers, addresses and personal information about schools, worship and such? Enough is enough.
One side was racist Nazis and the other side opposed racist Nazi bigotry. I'd of fought with them too...
Nothing Trump said indicates racism and bigotry. He plainly denounced them. The liberals and media simply want Trump and Republicans fail. This is all about bad publicity and the Dems recapturing the White House, Senate and House in upcoming elections. It's all about politics, not the wellbeing of all Americans. Liberals have become very bad people.
President Trump is correct!
I think both sides were looking for a fight. The people who go to protests like that are hoping to cause trouble. They are all hoping someone throws a punch, to get the fight going.
I haven't seen the local news in many years and am getting tired of some of the bull crap on FOX. The greatest president known peeved me off by not including the BLM, NAACP, Black Panthers into his statement when condemning the so called white groups. He said all, but when mentioning the whites, go ahead and finish with the root of the problem.
