IMO, there is no difference in the words of either. They are both saying let's not paint with such a broad brush. I cannot help that you cannot see the equivalency in the 2 statements; nor can you see the hypocrisy in some folks reactions to either.  

As I said I have no problem with Nancy saying we are all children of God, nor did I have issue with Trump saying the were good people on both sides. 

I'll have to take you and others at your word as to what you would be OK with Trump saying. 

You don't have to take me at my word. If you percieve me as someone reflexively slamming everything Trump says just because I feel like slamming Trump, so be it. :) 

I just have a feeling that most people wouldn't equate saying "God's children" to saying "good people". Everyone is God's child, that doesn't mean everyone is a good person. They could turn into a better person in the future through change and redemption maybe, by changing their ways, there's that potential, what to me as a non-Christian is what "God's children" means, among other things.
 
"Good people" is what "God's children" can become, it's certainly not what they are right now. What Trump said about Charlottesville wasn't about every marching Nazi and white supremacist having that potential as human beings to change. He defended them as they were, and at least didn't mind a bit to be understood that way. David Duke thanked him for his words, and Trump didn't reject him. If a MS-13 leader came out and thanked Pelosi and Pelosi wouldn't react, then yeah I'd see an equivalence.

But I'm certainly emotional about that, but that's not so much about Trump, but mainly about Nazis. I really hate Nazis, hate them on a MS-13 gangbanger level and maybe even beyond. I still think they are human beings though. A Christian, I figure, might say "they are God's children too", and yeah I'd thought it a bit strange if Trump had said that, but I would not have taken that much issue. Take me at my word :)
