he’s implying that trump picked that date, to send a message to nazis.
he’s not a good guy. but the left is so stung by the loss, that they go way, way overboard in criticizing him. at some point it makes him sympathetic.

You been watching the Swanson heir again obviously.
An audit by the Anti-Defamation League found white supremacist murders in the US "more than doubled in 2017," with far-right extremist groups and white supremacists "responsible for 59% of all extremist-related fatalities in the US in 2017." They were responsible for 20% of these fatalities the year before.
And from the Charleston church massacre through the killing of a protester in Charlottesville and the shootings at synagogues in Pittsburgh and Poway and most recently El Paso , far-right extremists are responsible for -- or suspected of - most of the ideological killings in America in the last 10 years, according to data from the ADL, which tracks extremist activity.
White supremacists are also looking to heavily recruit new members. White Supremacist groups posted more propaganda on college campuses for the third year in a row as they tried to get new young members on board, according to the ADL.
The exact numbers of groups, attacks, and activities are not as specifically known because of a lack of cohesiveness, transparency and data surrounding these types of groups at a federal level.
FBI Director Christopher Wray warned in July, before the El Paso attack, that domestic terrorism threats are on the rise. He said the FBI takes white supremacist hate crimes "extremely seriously."
Of course, none of this could possibly relate at all to Trump's political rhetoric.
On MSNBC Frank Figluzzi, former assistant director of the FBI for Counterintelligence discussed the ramifications of the presidents speech and how fringe groups can interpret words and actions as support and why care should be taken.
