Trump dismissed concerns about those carrying Nazi and Confederate flags in Charlottesville because some of them were "good people". This weekend, he engaged in a full-throated defense of the American flag, going so far as to call those who refused to stand in its presence SOBs.
Here is a fact I would challenge anyone to refute: Those who carried the Confederate and Nazi flags into battle were trying to kill anyone carrying the flag of the United States.
NONE of them were peacefully protesting some injustice, all of them were opposed to what the United States stood for - their goal was to kill anyone and everyone who marched under the flag that Trump avoided defending and now claims to adore.
And yet, Trump still cannot bring himself to condemn those who use the flags of ideologies who hated us and who we defeated years ago. He chooses instead to attack people who are exercising the rights that were DEFENDED as a result of those defeats.
Why? What's wrong with this picture?? |
