Saturday a group of white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and KKK members marched in protest of the removal of civil war monuments. As the event was approved beforehand, counter protesters from antifa (anti-fascists) and Black Lives Matter showed up. Predictably there were clashes, at least one fatality and several injuries. Sunday the media, liberals, democrat officials, and of course the anti-Trump Republicans (Lindsay Graham, etc.) immediately used the incident to attack Trump and also condemn right-wing extremism.
Ironically, these same groups have been promoting right-wing extremism, and right wing nationalism for several years now.
Below is pictured a natioalist neo-nazi march in Kiev that took place in January of this year. These are good guys that deserve US support and lethal weapons so that they can democratize Ukraine.
And here are the evil racist Neo-Nazis in Charlottesville the night of August 11th who deserve to be attacked for exercising their right of free speech, offensive as it is.
Similarly, the ultra-conservative jihadists (moderate rebels) who beheaded Christians and committed all sorts of atrocities were the recipients of TOW missiles and cheer leaded by the same media, democrats, liberals, and neocon Rupublicans.
In fairness to the civilian liberal population, the vast majority have no idea that the US supports right-wing nationalists and extremists internationally because the press lies or fails to cover reality and politicians flat out lie and distort the truth.
