President Donald Trump thinks the racists at Charlottesville, Va., and the “alt-left,” as he calls them, were equally to blame. Are you kidding me? Let’s just change it around a little bit and consider what would happen if nonwhites marched in the streets worshipping nonwhites who killed and slaughtered white people. What would happen if Muslims marched through the heart of Manhattan with banners praising Osama bin Laden? Do you think New Yorkers would be just a little ticked off and would protest against them? What if Japanese people marched down the streets of Washington, D.C., praising the leaders who launched the attack on Pearl Harbor or ordered the Bataan Death March? Do you think some people would be really mad?
Those instances would be equivalent to the march in Charlottesville by the white supremacists, Ku Klux Klansmen and Nazi sympathizers. Do you wonder why so many of us in this country absolutely know that Mr. Trump is an absolute buffoon?
