If a nazi is sitting at a table with ten other people. You got a table of 11 nazis
Comment on Left wing fact checker admits Trump never called Charlottesville neo-Nazis ‘very fine people’
jimbolauski@lemm.ee 3 months agoThey were there, he referred to people there as very fine people
Were there other people there besides white supremists and meo-nazis opposing the tear down of the statue?

I don’t consider everyone that attended BLM protests rioters, do you?

YOU: “Help I’m grasping for straws!”

It looks like your little example blew up in your face.

Yes of course there were. There were also white supremacist and neo-nazi sympathizers.
jimbolauski@lemm.ee 3 months ago
So some of the people there protesting the teardown were fine people?
Bongo_Stryker@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
No. No reasonable person would define “very fine people” as those who venerate someone who fought a war for the purpose of maintaining the institution of slavery.
I have not heard any argument that convinces me that such statues and monuments ought to be kept.

I’m not debating whether taking down the statue was right or not. My point of contention is that when Trump said very fine people there is no indication he was calling nazis and white supremists very fine people.
