    The Charlottesville people are largely fascists, but they also don’t have that much influence in American politics.

    The president at the time called them “very fine people” because he was scared of alienating them.

      I think he more likely believed there were some non-nazis in the group seeing as he in the same quote said I condemn neo-nazis and white supremacists dozens of times

        In case anyone needed to know where c/politics’ moderation team is coming from.

          I mean, none of us can speak to what someone else believes. I don’t think Trump puts that much thought into what he says to intentionally not say something to avoid alienating voters.
