Despite the huge body count in the name of white supremacy, the president suggested “other kinds of supremacy” are an equal threat.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday deflected a question about the rise of white supremacist violence in the U.S., suggesting without prompt that “antifa” and “other kinds of supremacy” are hate groups worthy of equal concern.
Trump, speaking to reporters on the south lawn of the White House, was asked what he was going to do about America’s ongoing white supremacy crisis.
He replied that he was against “any group of hate,” under which label he included both white supremacists and anti-fascists.
Antifa are people who, at worst, use bad means to oppose bad people.
"White supremacists" - by which label people refer to dangerous white racists in general - are bad people who use bad means to achieve bad ends.
Not really the same, is it?
And the latter far outnumber the former.
