President Trump Argues Over Charlottesville, Race Relations in Heated Press Conference | NBC News

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Trump was spot on. That was a beautiful press conference. I love that he gave those media thugs a piece of his mind. Our mainstream journalists have not one shred of credibility left, they are blinded by hate and their ideology and see no wrong in reporting half truths or outright lies.

It’s come down to this: only the left has the right to protest, no one else does. Any other group who tries to protest will get shouted down, clubbed, pushed, beaten. Is this still a free country?

What kind of people wear masks to a protest? Why do they need them? Those Antifa thugs wear masks and bring clubs to every “peaceful” protest. Add to them the BLM racist thugs, and you always know how things will end.

I don’t know why the right go out to march or protest, it just gives these leftist thugs more opportunities to incite violence. Let them go own the streets and protest all they want, all they’ll do is turn more people off. Let these Antifa/BLM thugs protest, they’ll get bored eventually, meanwhile, we vote!

* I thought that Trump’s press conference was utterly masterful — and entirely truthful. Violence (except self-defense) was explicitly disavowed by the alt-right groups who actually got a permit for the rally. And unlike Obama, who time and again sprinted to the podium to make politically-charged and racially-charged statements “without knowing all the facts,” Trump carefully examined the evidence and found that the Left was indeed inciting and committing violence.

It’s almost unreal how the mainstream press has scripted a completely false narrative and is using it to hold the President of the United States hostage. I’ve never seen anything like it… perhaps with the exception of Soviet Union, where the Official Party Narrative disseminated by Party organs like Izvestia and Pravda was frequently at odds with reality. But in the USSR, it was the government and the party were controlling the media narrative, not being assailed with it. The 6:30 national news on all major networks was so slanted against Trump’s truthful statements I was absolutely flabbergasted.

* That speech was pure Bannon. The Left is now going insane trying to deal with the term alt-left.

I admit I was opposed to that term, but I was wrong. It was a rhetorical kill shot. That said, alt-right is probably dead a brand, but that may not be a bad thing either.

* He took the media to task on the violent left, on the slippery slope of taking down statues and re-writing history, on the painting of all proud southerners with a racist brush. And it was funny as heck. I don’t know how his advisors standing next to him kept from smiling or laughing – more discipline than I have.
