When terrorists abroad plow cars into crowds Trump condemns "radical Islam." But when it happens here, he talks of violence "on many sides."

Did Trump really say that he condemns the violence on "many sides"? The white folks with tiki torches brought the violence, own it.

We should impeach this president on many sides.

On many sides. No. No. Someone died because of ONE, easily identifiable, self-titled "side". They are white supremacists AND terrorists.
