Trump Negates His Condemnation Of Nazis, Both Sides Guilty

President Donald Trump on Tuesday clashed with reporters over his response to the Charlottesville, Virginia attack, during an extraordinary press conference at Trump Tower.
In addition to equating Neo-Nazis with what he described as the “alt-left,” Trump once again blamed “both sides” for a violent outbreak that resulted in the death of a 32-year old counter-protester and he demanded to know whether members of the media “like” George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

Trump insisted he “didn’t wait long” to make a statement condemning white nationalism, arguing he “wanted to make sure, unlike most politicians, that what I said was correct, not make a quick statement.”

“The statement I made on Saturday, the first statement, was a fine statement but you don’t make statements that direct unless you know the facts,” Trump said. “It takes a little while to get the facts. You still don’t know the facts. It is a very, very important process to me. So I don’t want to go quickly and just make a statement for the sake of making a political statement.

“When I make a statement, I like to be correct,” he continued. “I want the facts.”

Odd, this is apparently the first instance where getting all the facts has caused him to wait 2 seconds before aggressively and publicly condemning some group in a twitter rant, like, lets say, BLM...what could possibly be different this time?
Too bad he couldn't stay on the prepared message and has already gone back to stating the counter protesters are the aggressive and violent faction here and the alt-right were actually just peaceful quiet protestors, believe him, not your lying eyes.
