.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump tries to relitigate his response to Charlottesville (again).
When former Vice President Joe Biden launched his 2020 presidential campaign with an online video yesterday, he focused special attention on Donald Trump’s 2017 response to violence in Charlottesville, Va.
It was against this backdrop that a reporter asked the president this morning if he still believes there were “very fine people on both sides” in Charlottesville. “Oh, I’ve answered that question,” the Republican responded. “I have spoken to many generals here, right at the White House, and many people thought – of the generals, they think that he was maybe their favorite general.
I’m curious what part of Donald Trump’s brain told him, “Nearly two years later, after international condemnations and brutal political blowback, now seems like a good time to relitigate my scandalous response to Charlottesville.”
