Conservative Analysis of President Trump's Comment on Charlottesville

The reaction from the conservative community to President Trump's comments on the events in Charlottesville, Virginia, was a mix of criticism and defense. While some expressed concern over the characterization of the event and the intentions behind the commentators, the overall sentiment was a strong defense of Trump's comments.

Conservative Defense of President Trump

Conservatives argue that the push to demonize President Trump's statements on Charlottesville is rooted in a media doctrine of spreading lies by repetition. They contend that the left's focus on what Trump says rather than his policies is an attempt to obscure the realities of his actions.

Analysis of Trump's Statement

President Trump said, 'There were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of to them a very very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name… I am not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalist they should be condemned totally… but you also had some people on the other side who were very violent.'

Conservatives point out that the majority of Charlottesville participants had genuine intentions, whether it was to preserve or change the name of a park. They argue that the media's selective focus on the most incendiary statements and images misrepresents the reality of the situation.

Conservative Perception of Media Bias

Conservatives argue that the mainstream media, known for its alleged bias, demonstrated an unwillingness to provide a balanced perspective. They highlight that not only is the media biased but it is also willing to commit acts of evil and incitement.

Police and Rioters: A Sided Perspective

Conservatives note that the police were chased away by Antifa and BLM rioters rather than neo-Nazis or white supremacists, despite the latter being the ones who killed left-wing activist Heather Heyer. Evidence from the internet, such as video footage, supports this view.

Conservatives also point out that both sides, including neo-Nazis and white supremacists, acknowledge that Americans do not react to symbols like the hammer and sickle with the same visceral response as they do to the Nazi swastika. This prevents the media from capitalsizing on their emotional response.

The Divide Caused by Media Lies

Conservatives emphasize that it was the falsehoods about Trump that divided the nation, not Trump himself. They argue that the media's selective reporting and embellishment of events incite hatred, mistrust, and ultimately, race-based violence and murders. Joe Biden's parroting of the Charlottesville narrative is seen as further evidence of this intentional division.

Conclusion

In conclusion, conservatives assert that President Trump was correct in his assessment of the Charlottesville event. His condemnation of neo-Nazis and white supremacists, and recognition of the actions of both sides, strikes a balanced approach. The divide in the nation is a result of media bias and the perpetuation of lies, not the actions or statements of President Trump.
