Went like this.
Me: Too bad about the few at the capital who did bad things. Probably agitators.
Him: Yeah I kind of agree. But I just wish it never got to this point. The racist stuff Trump says doesn't help.
Me: Oh yeah... er I mean, well what racist stuff exactly?
Him: Well you know just all that stuff.
Me: No I can't think of anything... can you give me a specific example?
Him:....
Me: I need a specific example. I really want to know what he said because if he did that's terrible!
Him: well I can't think of anything right now but yeah...
Me: Can I tell you about Charlottesville?
You know, how the news selectively reported what he said about "good people on both sides" but didn't show you the whole clip? Or are you actually not aware of what they did? Like with the CNN Goldfish feeding video in Japan where they did the same thing to make him appear like a buffoon. He's not.
I have heard of the good people on both side quote but really not aware.
I can find out now with the lead you gave me.
Yeah I know about the goldfish thing.
Thanks
I'll save you the trouble:
Trump: "Okay, good. Are we going to take down the statue? Because he was a major slave owner. [TALKING ABOUT THOMAS JEFFERSON] Now, are we going to take down his statue?
"So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.
"Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people. But you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets, and with the baseball bats. You had a lot of bad people in the other group."
