#charlottesville

Don't forget this. Charlottesville. This happened in 2017. It was horrifying. Look at these faces. They literally want to kill my friends. I wrote about it in the blog, in an essay called "Say No To Every Nazi." It begins:

"Right now in Trump's America, there are Nazi-like mobs marching for their right to rid America of "defectives" and "take back their country." They wear no hoods or cloaks. They fly Confederate flags high, they call for violence and preach freedom. These are people who view the concept of diversity and equal rights as a direct threat to them, personally. "You will not replace us! Jews will not replace us" is their paranoid battle cry. They chant "If it ain't white, it ain't right." If you're not with them, you're traitors and "libtards." They are proud Republicans, and they have heard the "Make America Great Again" message loud and clear."

Dear Trump acolytes. We "libtards" told you. We warned you. It was clear from the beginning. NOW LOOK WHERE WE ARE! If you voted for this, with all due respect, F you.

We saw the video with our own eyes:

Hundreds of angry White men walking in mass, carrying torches and chanting, “Jews will not replace us.”

White nationalists, dressed for battle in helmets and body armor, brandishing weapons of every sort, violently attacking counter-protesters who had come to take a stand against their hate.

Neo-Nazi Alex Fields plowing into a crowd inside his Dodge Challenger, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injuring more than 30 others.

Now, President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies want us to believe that we did not see what we thought we saw in Charlottesville, that it was not disturbing evidence of the rise of hate in America. In the president’s own words, “It was fake.” This latest Trump conspiracy theory involves the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally where as many as 1,000 white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and other hatemongers descended upon the Virginia town for an event that would quickly turn deadly. After a trial lasting more than four weeks, with more than 900 exhibits and 35 witnesses, an 11-person jury found the white nationalist organizers liable for some $26 million dollars in damages for what transpired that August weekend. As the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled, the “Unite the Right” organizers “planned for months to provoke Antifa and its followers into a violent battle.” One man, Jason Kessler, “sought to “rais[e] an army.” That included “discussing whether someone could drive a car through a crowd of demonstrators.” Another prominent figure believed that “violence might be necessary to secure [a] white ethnostate.” And, according to the court, “he wasn’t alone.”

Here’s what you probably have not seen in any mainstream media. In his most recent conversation with 60 Minutes—part of the extended interview that did not make it into the broadcast—President Trump insisted that “Unite the Right” was really a leftist plot ginned up by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The president repeatedly referred to the SPLC as the “Southern Law.” “Charlottesville was all funded by the Southern Law,” Trump told correspondent Norah O’Donnell in that extended interview posted by CBS News. “And it was done to make me look bad. And it turned out to be a total fake. It basically was a rigged election. This was a part of the rigging of the election.

The Southern Poverty Law Center Funded BOTH SIDES of the Charlottesville Riot.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Southern Poverty Law Center more than doubled its revenue in the months following the deadly 2017 Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally — a surge now drawing renewed scrutiny after a Department of Justice indictment alleged the group paid an informant tied to the event’s organizers. The 2017 rally, which left one woman dead, became a cultural…
