Trump called out the alt-left protesters for their role. Rightly so.
After a speech about a new executive order concerning infrastructure at Trump Tower in New York Tuesday, President Trump defended his response Saturday to the violent white supremacist rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia, saying that it was impossible to make a judgment in real time on rapidly unfolding events.
“I want to make sure when I make a statement that the statement is correct,” he said. “And there was no way of making a correct statement that early. I had to see the facts unlike a lot of reporters.”
“There is blame on both sides, I have no doubt about it,” Trump said.
President Trump, responding to criticism that he failed to condemn white supremacist groups forcefully enough after the Charlottesville, Va., protest violence, called out 'alt-left' protesters for their actions that same day, asking, 'Do they have any semblance of guilt?'
