Analysis: Meet the Trump-Charlottesville truthers
By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow April 25 at 5:37 PM Joe Biden’s presidential launch has again cast a spotlight on President Trump’s comments about the 2017 tragedy in Charlottesville. And in doing so, it has unearthed a surprising amount of revisionist history from Trump’s supporters.
After the death of Heather Heyer, Trump on Aug. 12 condemned “in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence — on many sides.” He then repeated “on many sides,” apparently emphasizing that the counterprotesters needed to be condemned, as well. That last bolded part is what this case is built on. Trump explicitly says he’s not talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists! He said they should be condemned totally!
At their Friday night rally at the University of Virginia, the white nationalists brandished torches and chanted anti-Semitic and Nazi slogans, including “blood and soil” and “Jews will not replace us” — all crafted to cast Jews as foreign interlopers who need to be expunged. The attendees proudly displayed giant swastikas and wore shirts emblazoned with quotes from Adolf Hitler. One banner read, “Jews are Satan’s children.
