Ooooh. Wasn’t it SUCH a great, great thing that Our President WAITED and WAITED to get all the FACTS before weighing in on the deadly NeoNazi rally in Charlottesville? Oh yeah. If he didn’t have ALL THE FACTS then he wouldn’t have been able to say with a straight face:
You had a lot of people in that [white nationalist] group that were there to innocently protest and very legally protest, because you know — I don’t know if you know — they had a permit. The other group didn’t have a permit.
Yeah, well, just one itty-bitty little detail, from the Washington Post. The anti-fascist group had a permit too. It was obtained by UVA professor Walt Heinecke for events at McGuffey Park and Justice Park, near where Heather Heyer was brutally murdered by a fascist whose name I will not publicize.
Here’s the permit,
The NeoNazi’s permit was for Emancipation Park. However ….
Charlottesville spokeswoman Miriam I. Dickler told Moyer that only one permit was issued for Emancipation Park — the one received by white nationalists staging the “Unite the Right” rally. However, counter-protesters did not need permits to protest that rally, she said.
“Please bear in mind that people do not need a permit to enter a public park, even when another event is scheduled to take place there, nor are they required to have one to be on streets or sidewalks adjacent to or outside the park,” Dickler said in an email.
(Emphasis added).
Aren’t we proud to have a Prez who waits Days and Days to condemn murder, until he gets all the facts? Yeah, right. The Post has awarded the Prevaricator-in-chief Four Pinocchios.
