Donna Ladd --vice president of the ACLU of Mississippi. People like this are part of the problem, not the solution. Instead of giving praise to the Trump for going to Jackson Mississippi, and recognizing the cities civil rights struggles and victories, the liberal press (and some in Congress) are intent on decisive rhetoric.
While everyone was choosing a side in the Charlottesville debate, Trump simply pointed out the obvious, that it takes two to tango and people lose their minds. If you fail to acknowledge we have bad actors on both sides of the fence, then have fun living in your bubble.
"Leftist anti-fascist organizers from Washington, D.C.: “Before the attack occurred, we chased the Nazis out of their park, removing their platform. They were on the move toward a community with many people of color. We mobilized to intercept. We were at our most powerful, all of us together chanting with enthusiastic support from the people of Charlottesville. That was the moment that we were attacked.”
-- So the 'Nazi's" (the only group who had an actual permit) were removed from the park by force. So much for freedom of speech.

President Trump condemned all violence at Charlottesville and I applaud his position. Too bad some insist on excusing bad behavior in their own group and focus on others. Even worse, they have elevated their petulance to this new event. I suspect that they are too far gone to ever realize the idiocy of their position. Then again, maybe that's a good thing. I can't imagine how they could live with their shame if they should ever realize how wrong they have been. Maybe you can help them with that.
