Yet another indication that the entirety of Republican policy is “piss off the Liberals.” They don’t have a second idea.
There was hatred and violence on all sides, as clearly shown in this photo of peaceful counter protesters surrounded on all sides by angry torch-bearing racists.

Trump is all over the map in his Q&A with reporters with this one. NPR shows a transcript of Trump’s insipid scree re Charlottesville:
