He did say that they are "good" people.
He wasn't referring to White supremacists as being "good" people any more than he as referring to ANITFA as being "good" people. He said there were "good" people on BOTH sides. Do you really think he meant ANTIFA was "good"? If not, then whey do you think he meant that white supremacists were "good". In addition, if you read his entire speech he was very clear in both renouncing white supremacists and ANTIFA and also pointing out that there were other people there other than these two groups. Some simply protesting the taking down of statues which represented their Southern heritage and some that simply them taken down because they may have been offended. Those are the "good" people on both sides.
The MSM routinely takes Trump's quotes out of context in an effort to push their narrative. This may be the most egregious case of all in that so many people bought it without bothering to read the quote in context.
Trump makes it so very easy to think the worst about him and his..ever-changing--views. As it so happens, I agree with you on this one. However..if he didn't try to have it both ways all the time..if he were to forcefully and undeniably condemn the entire white supremacist/white nationalist narrative--without caveat---we could move on. He won't do that..because it might lose him some of his base--so he talks out of both sides of his mouth.
But it is clear that Trump plays the racists...in his attempts to gain and maintain power-and thus...he gets to own some shit that he might not believe in--but that is the case..when you sup with the devil.
Biden won't condemn ANTIFA for fear of losing the far-left wackos. Seems pretty similar to me.
Totally agree..the fringe wacko's are driving the car for both parties.
The fringe whacko's aren't driving the Democratic Party car. The fringe whacko driving the Republican car, is the President.
As for anti-fa, it's not a violent terrorist organization. Well they did punch Richard Spencer in the face after Charlottesville, but hey, who wouldn't want to punch out that piece of shit. I'm shocked it doesn't happen more often. Trump keeps lying about anti-fa, yet refuses to condemn the violent militias and is actually inciting them, and blaming anti-fa.
Biden has condemned violence repeatedly. Biden will not condemn anti-facism because we are all opposed to facism, or we should be. The entire American Army was anti-fa in WWII. Now some of you assholes have decided that the facists are the good guys.
Aside from being wrong, about ANTIFA you aren't voting for Biden. Your are voting for Harris, who is most definitely an extremist. Pelosi is already setting the stage. Biden even knows what is going on...he doesn't mind being a puppet as he will probably be rewarded nicely for his sacrifice.
Americans are being duped into serfdom.
I’m voting for Trudeau. But if I was a voting American, I’d be voting for Biden BECAUSE of Harris.
If I were a voting American, I'd have voted for her in the primaries. I'd rather have HER than Biden any day of the week.

Nope..just not buying it. Antifa is, at its core, BlackBloc anarchists..and they don't give a shit about Fascism..they want disorder and chaos. Yeah, the fringe Progressives are driving the Democratic clown car...like or not. Idiocy abounds and sanity is in short supply. I would point out the historical revisionism is not only the province of the Right--and ignoring the fact that China contributes funds to BLM is pretty damn stupid. One can agree with the message..and still despise the messenger--thus with BLM.
As far as condemning fascism...I condemn fascists...of all stripes..that includes those who would shout down any of their opposition--without debate or attention to nuance.
If you wish examples of that--you need only read about those who engage in invading the personal space of others to shout their cant in their faces and force agreement through intimidation and threats of violence.
You guys eh? Whatever...LOL!
You're not buying it because it doesn't conform to your belief systems.
You say you voted for Trump because of his policies. So why are you still supporting him? His policies, the few he actually put in place, have all failed, miserably. The economy of crashed, hundreds of thousands of people have died, and his denial of the police brutality problem and incitement of right wing terrorist militias, is setting the country ablaze.
He took over a stable economy with record growth, stock market, and low unemployment numbers, claimed credit for this economic boom, and then it right off the rails and into a tree - and crashed it utterly. It'll take 10 years to recover from this fiscal fiasco.
His "immigration policies" are crimes against humanity. Family separations. Taking children away and losing them. Now it's being reported that after they took toddlers to court with no lawyers, then put them on planes and sent them back to their home countries, and left small children in the airports to find their own way back to their parents. I imagined my young grandchildren going through such treatment and its unfathomable that people could do that to any other human being much less small children. They knew what they were doing, the lasting effect it would have on the children, and they did it on purpose. They knew it would destroy these people's lives, and that's WHY they did it.
Trump's covid response debacle has killed 217,000 thousand Americans and sickened 7 million people. The rest of the world has contained the virus, reduced infections and deaths, and re-opened our economies safely. We didn't have medical staff marching in the street when the outbreak hit - we had PPE, because our governments prepared. We had tests, because our government prepared. We went into lockdown, and we stayed safe, and now that we're re-opened, we're all wearing our masks and keeping safe.
Cases are spiking again, so we're simply going back into a modified lockdown to get it under control. But everyone - Conservative and Liberal, provinces and federal, is on the same page and pulling together. Liberals and Conservatives set aside politics as usual, and worked together to protect all Canadians. Trump hasn't done that. He's politicized the pandemic and undercut the scientists and Democratic governors at every turn.
And the criminality of the man. The list of criminal charges he's facing - bank fraud, insurance fraud, tax fraud, bribery, extortion, obstruction of justice, witness intimmidation, will keep him in jail for the rest of his life.
So tell me, my are you still voting for Trump since he was NOT as advertized, and hes' doing a really bad job?
