You know there is another point of view on the Civil War Monument discussion that also feels that those who choose to not remember history are doomed to repeat it. Perhaps that is the faction of people that Trump was referring to? After all, he did clarify that he was not speaking of the Neo Nazis when he said "very fine people".
It wasn't a secret that right-wing white nationalists organized the march. If someone didn't know, it is still on them to have remained when they saw the Nazi swastika flying and heard the chants.
People who support Confederate monuments can justify all they want. Just like they pretend the southern battle flag actually represents :southern pride" and not an army trying to defend slavery.
No country in the world has statues in their public squares honoring people who led a treasonous rebellion against their country and lost. Statues aren't history anyway...they are art. They belong in a museum, not on Main Street
No, he just implied people who marched alongside of them are fine.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
