Neo-nazis white nationalist are bad they should be condemned

Who said this, was it Trump? So why is the left media losing their mind over his support of those people he said should be condemned?

It's not the left media. It's actually more or less all media, around the world. From Fox news to the Guardian. And it's not *just the media*, it's also other Republicans.

Fox News host Shepard Smith said Wednesday that the network tried and failed to get a Republican on-air to defend President Trump's controversial comments on violence in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend

"Our booking team — and they're good — reached out to Republicans of all stripes across the country today," Smith said on his show "Shepard Smith Reporting."

"Let's be honest, Republicans don't often really mind coming on Fox News Channel. We couldn't get anyone to come and defend him here because we thought, in balance, someone should do that," he continued.

"We worked very hard at it throughout the day, and we were unsuccessful. And of those who are condemning the president's condemnable actions, I've not heard any prominent leaders, former presidents, members of the House or the Senate use his name while speaking in generalities," he said.

And also leaders of our closest and most important allies.

[quote]When asked Wednesday about Trump's comments, UK Prime Minister Theresa May disputed the idea that the two sides in the Charlottesville violence were equally to blame, a Downing Street spokeswoman told CNN.

"I see no equivalence between those who propound fascist views and those who oppose them," May said at a naval ceremony in Portsmouth, England.[/quote]

And many members of his own party.

But sure, it's just leftist media making it all up.

@QuixoticSoul "I see no equivalence between those who propound fascist views and those who oppose them" that is fake Donald Trump never compared those two he said both were wrong the opposers were wrong for using violence and said the ones oppose peacefully were good people

@SW-User Take it up with Theresa May. Point is, it's not [b]just[/b] the leftist media making a fuss.

@SW-User In UK politics May is under pressure (from within her own Conservative Party) for not going far enough and not naming Trump specifically.

Do you even know what moral equivilance means? Trump stressed that both sides created the violence and then went on about the 'alt left' with evidence free claims that they were agitators.

He deflected attention from the far right by saying that the left were the same or worse. They are not and the NAZIS are on record as praising his words.

@SW-User Okaaaaaay...

Britain is relatively Conservative and a close American ally. Even our right wing press have condemned trump, along with most US Conservatives.

So frankly your point about the US Liberal media overreacting to a Presidents 'mixed' condemnation of fascists is a load of old bollocks.
