What Happened in Charlottesville? | 5 Minute Video

- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- Did President Trump call neo-Nazis “very fine people” during a famous press conference following the Charlottesville riots of August 2017? The major media reported that he did. But what if their reporting is wrong? Worse, what if their reporting is wrong and they know it’s wrong? A straight exploration of the facts should reveal the truth. That’s what CNN political analyst Steve Cortes does in this critically important video.

Script:
Politicians lie.
We all know that.
That is not an indictment of all politicians-it’s simply part of the game.
It’s our job, as informed citizens, to figure out the truth. And that’s where journalists and the media come in. They are supposed to help us ferret out fact from fiction. So when they get a fact wrong, that’s bad.
When they get a fact wrong, know it’s wrong, and don’t correct it, that’s worse. That’s not getting a fact wrong; that’s a lie. And that’s journalistic malfeasance.
The best (or maybe worst) example of this followed a presidential press conference at Trump Tower on Tuesday, August 15, 2017.
You remember what happened that previous weekend: A group of white supremacists held a
“white pride” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The ostensible reason was to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
An Antifa group showed up to counter-protest. The mayor and the police were totally unprepared to deal with the violence that ensued. Tragically, a young woman, Heather Heyer, was run over and killed by a neo-Nazi.
The press conference itself was raucous. The media was antagonistic. The president was combative.
Out of it all, one phrase eclipsed the thousands of words exchanged: The media reported that President Trump described neo-Nazis as “very fine people.”
Only, he didn’t. In fact, he didn’t even hint at it. Just the opposite: he condemned the neo-Nazis in no uncertain terms. So then, who were the “fine people” he mentioned?
The answer: He was referring to another group of Charlottesville demonstrators who came out that weekend-protestors who wanted the Robert E. Lee statue removed and protestors who wanted to keep the statue and restore the park’s original name.
This is what President Trump said about those peaceful protestors: “You also had some very fine people on both sides. . . . You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of-to them-a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”
A few moments later, in case there would be any misunderstanding, he makes his meaning even more explicit. “…I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists. They should be condemned totally.”
Lest you have any doubts that good people were in Charlottesville to protest the removal of the
Robert E Lee statue, the New York Times confirmed it in a story they published the next day, August 16.
“’Good people can go to Charlottesville,’ said Michelle Piercy, a night shift worker at a Wichita, Kansas retirement home, who drove all night with a conservative group that opposed the planned removal of a statue of the Confederate general Robert E. Lee. After listening to Mr. Trump on Tuesday, she said it was as if he had channeled her and her friends… who had no interest in standing with Nazis or white supremacists…”

“I’m not talking about the neo-Nazi’s and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.” Donald Trump, August 15, 2017
@J Will Pretty sure he did. "I'm not talking about..." is in present tense, so it has to have been.
@J Will Yep, at the press conference.
J Will yeah he said it like 30 seconds after
J Will it was not a speech but a press conference, so it is unscripted. Trump did clearly condemn the White Suprem & Nazis, and this press conference is where the Fine People Quote comes fromYou can see it in full at ruclips.net/video/JmaZR8E12bs/видео.html
Tolan Brown yeah but remember when he didn’t say anything about the white supremacists and he got a lot of backlash for not condemning them and was reluctant
this should have been published ages ago
Victor D too many Republicans cowered because they’re afraid of the msm
Ikr
Seriously, whenever I have a discussion with anyone about Trump, they always hold this as proof he is racist because "he refused to condemn nazis and the KKK, and said there were good people on both sides". I then show them this video where he condemns them, that the media ACTUALLY HID: ruclips.net/video/S6PFZNruJes/видео.html, which already shocks them, and then I explain that he was talking about people who think tearing down statues is a good thing, and people who think it is a bad thing as "both sides" (a genuinely important debate). That really helps change people's minds and makes them feel duped. I recommend everyone takes this approach. It's crazy seeing how many people think Trump actually likes the KKK and is a white supremacist and it's a despicable lie.
@@DrKaii they only say it because they hate white people
Victor D PragerU decided not to cover recent political events.
i noticed that CNN wasn't mentioned in the list, then at the end of the video I found out why
@Sith'ari Azithoth
He most likely cannot mention or paint CNN in a negative light since he is employed by them and that would violate his contract. At least give him credit for coming on and telling the truth. I’m sure that there are good people who work for CNN and other mainstream companies but must keep quiet because of there viewpoints, this guy has the guts to do it.
So apparently it's not just me! I just made the same comment (albeit a month later lol)
Because PragerU is just as much corporate propaganda as CNN.
Rocco Anders
In what way?
PragerU is suing #Googleisevil/RUclips for censorsing their videos
@@iammaximus614
Amongst other things, they claimed that all these outlets lied and took Trumps statements out of context, and how the didn't mention that he later condemned nazis, when in reality ALL OF THEM did.
If you quickly look up their articles on the story, you'll see that literally every outlet they mentioned put that part in:
ruclips.net/video/4T45Sbkndjc/видео.html
They also made one video whee they argued that political corruption and big money in politics is a good thing, which is corporate propaganda.

Why not say which one? I’m curious
@@Frilleon FYI, Joe Biden
Sorry, but Prager is wrong here. It’s not what he said, it’s how he said it. First, it took Trump 24-48 hrs to make a statement condemning them. Second, Trump’s response was very reserved. All he said was “I condemn them” but he didn’t put the same energy into condemning them as he does everyone else. Where’s the insults? Where’s the nicknames? Trump is rampant on Twitter when it comes to bashing people he doesn’t like, yet where was that during Charlottesville? Any group of people who yells “Jews will not replace us” deserves the same vigorous condemnation Trump gave Omar and Cummings, yet I didn’t see that from him. Not to mention, I seem to recall Trump conveniently forgetting who David Duke was during and interview with Jake Tapper while he was campaigning.
@@vgames89 *maybe if i copy paste this more people will believe it*
I know. I couldn't believe it when I saw Biden's initial campaign ad. I was muttering to myself, "You got to be f'ing kidding me. He's using the Charlottesville hoax?". And of course, the most sinister part is I'm certain, just like the media, he and his staffers know it's a lie. How sad.
Fun fact, Robert E Lee was against the idea of statues and monuments for Confederate soldiers.
Sebastian H Lee and the confederates were leftist
@@rbikidportland they were democrats. I wouldn't consider them liberal in any sense.
Adam Bray Why do leftists want to tear the statues down and the far-right want to keep them up? The parties switched so the confederates were closer to the modern right although such comparisons are not super useful imo.
Another fun fact: RE Lee was opposed to slavery.
@@drlight777 He faught for his state more than the preservation of slavery. A very complicated guy.
Even in the Vice presidential debate, Koala Harris still perpetuates this lie.
When she said that statement she talked fast
Biden does too! It shows they truly believe democrats are completely stupid
@@reecerobotics4720 Lol that’s the excuse you’re going for? Please...

Trump Wins Unopposed
The police were told to stand down by the mayor. That's not being unprepared. It's following orders.
Yup, it should already be commonly known that PragerU is entirely unimpressive.
louie cricket uhm...the mayor saw it fit BECAUSE they were unprepared??
Levity very bold statement. Maybe think twice after evaluating their intention?
@@ucb.aapmotman No the mayor saw it fit not to have the tax payer funder police department protect the group of citizens who had a legal permit to be there.
It wouldn't be the first time the police have stood by. Any mayor who can order the police around clearly has too much authority - assuming that was the case.
Guess you couldn't include CNN in this for obvious reasons
Rohar Baconmoo I was thinking the same thing when I saw the cnn under his name at the start of the video. Pot calling kettle black..
Not a big deal for me. Maybe he can keep his job.
But it is pretty telling that someone from CNN is backing Trump.
I'll let CNN slide being that the commentator is from CNN. Him being from CNN allows us to promote the video without the LEFT shrieking that it's fake news ...oh wait.... that won't change their mantra will it? :(

@davidcarter8505 it's propaganda. It's funded by oil bbillionaire. This video is also illegal non profits aren't supposed to directly endorse political candidates
Steve Cortes, when I saw you were from CNN I groaned, BUT, you did an excellent job of uncovering what was true, what was false and who was to blame for spreading and perpetuating this most basic of lies! And you are so right, we have been living with the consequences of that lie ever since. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your bravery, Integrity and character!

"Shortly, the public will be unable to reason or think for themselves. They'll only be able to parrot the information they've been given on the previous night's news."

That's the simplicity and the power of propaganda. And its purpose.
Jimmy Carter and Zbigniew funded the terrrorist Mujahideen.
The irony here is that his daughter Mike "bleeding face" Brzezinski (Morning Joe's wife) is now such a parrot.
domhnall777 is clearly still a parrot.
@domhnall777 Which side are you on?
This is one of the reasons why I'm thinking about going into journalism. I'm so tired of all the lies and propaganda, from "very fine people" to the Covington Catholic kids. I want to share my work and tell people what is actually going on in the world. To give my opinion and hopefully give a conservative voice to others instead of the same leftist shrill.
This is one of the reasons why I'm thinking you shouldn't go into journalism. You unironically watch PragerU and think your ideas are some invariant from the people whom you first got your ideas from. They're not. Abortion is fine kill and eat babies and use the aborted fetal cells in vaccines (they don't have them btw and even if they did they would still save lives) Biden 2020 atheism wins again
I'm afraid you may be hard pressed to find a job in journalism that is what you wish. Finding an outlet with widespread circulation that wants honest journalists could be difficult. Trump 2020 America wins again!
@Charles R. Law I've seen the video you linked to and it's just as selective in its evidence as you presumably claim PragerU is. Not all of the protesters were behaving as you describe. In fact, the video you linked to showed the NYT article about people who went to the rally to protest statue removal and from the comments apparently had no problem with it. You can't have it both ways. Was it good that Neo-Nazis and other scum, including Antifa, showed up to create violence--NO. But if everyone of those sons-of-bitches dropped dead, there would still have been people on both sides remaining. And just because some news outlets got it right some of the time doesn't mean they did not get it wrong at other times. Of these, CNN is the most egregious and continues to spread the lie...Don Lemon, I'm talking to you.
@Dah Bearz Having seen various of the network airings and newspaper articles, I have seen them go both ways on what Trump said about Charlottesville. CNN has been particularly egregious, in my opinion, given how they have flip-flopped on the issue and, at times, still promulgate the lie. Neither video showed this very well. But Shaun's video was just a pissing contest with PragerU, while I think the main objective of PragerU was to highlight the lie. Both were slanted and selective. IMO. Watch the videos and judge for yourself.
@Dah Bearz I didn't read your comment but since the first sentence agrees with my (obviously correct) echochamber that PragerU is in fact a garbage media outlet that prides itself on being conservative yet instead fuels itself on outrage culture, I agree.
Debunked by Shaun yet again. Fraudsters
John Marston the only problem with this video is Shaun forgot to mention the truth about the rally itself. The rally was called “Unite the Right” and the people who were there to just protest the statue, were self-proclaimed white nationalists. There weren’t two separate groups, Trump tried to distinguish the two because he defends his base, but they were one in the same.
@@jeremygreen83
No, that's incorrect.
Lol his basic argument was that the media didn't lie about Charlottesville. Please watch CNN for a day and see
Seth Gyan oh yes, I forgot simply watching cnn will prove Prageru is correct.
owta spAc ok, how is it not true?
The woman at Charlottesville was never touched by that car. If you watch the video you can see that.
DEploribus Unum Her own mother said the car didn’t hit her and that she died from a heart attack because she was obese.
I was waiting for one. Now to sit back and enjoy the fireworks
The car hit her, why must you defend the neo-nazis?
@@guardiangibbs2663 The woman you see on top of the car in the video was not Heather. That woman that the car did hit survived.
(and no I would not defend running into people with a car even if the people are idiots)
Guardian Gibbs
BTW the nazie's were the ones beating the car that caused him to hit the crowd.
Shaun debunked it. If you Conservatives want to challenge yourselves, watch it. If you want to continue to believe what conservative propagandists say, go ahead.
@@FactsFirst shaun cited all the sources, dated, that all the medias cited by prager u told that trump condemned white suprmacists, with videos, screenshots and arcticles. Prager u is lying!
Logical Conservative
I mean, who were the non-Nazi’s at the event? All the speakers were people like Richard Spencer. In fact, Richard Spencer was a speaker at the rally.
If you were only there to protest the statue being removed and not to be a part of a white pride rally, don’t you think the Nazi shit that was very clearly visible would turn you off?
@@FactsFirst i widely prefer selective snips showing these medias told the truth, rather than a simlplistic video showing no proofs to their claims. infographics are sure fancy but prove nothing at all, real sources do.
"page 10" or not they mentionned it, if you are too lazy to read a full article of two pages on a website well i'm sad for you.
You're an idiot. "Shaun's" video says the MSM told the truth. Maybe 5%. But the truth is that 95% of the time they lied or deceived and the Bottom Line Fact is = Trump did NOT support the Nazis, but the media using their spin, sophistry and propaganda techniques has convinced and deceived many millions of people to believe that he did support the Nazis
@@missmorbid1439 nicely done.

He probably can't do to a nondisparagment (sp?) agreement in his contract.
Yeah I noticed that too. Doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds him.
Does anyone consider CNN a news outlet?
I haven’t considered them a reliable source for decades...
It's weird how many media networks don't refer to Trump as "President Trump", but as "Mr. Trump"
No link to an unedited version of the speech in question?
"Unprepared"?
The police deliberately and per orders from the mayor stood down.
There's so much more to this. There was a witness who saw busloads of protestors dropped off there, and people displaying BOTH antifa and white supremacist signs & shirts got off the buses TOGETHER. This whole thing was a staged event to create the impression of dramatic conflict. Wake up people.
dro1956 any sources?
George Christiansen -- Yes, and besides, the "unite the right" folks had a PERMIT. In America, even neo-nazis, even black separatists, even the KKK can speak, march, protest - as long as it's peaceful.

I’m pretty sure protesting to keep a confederate icon statue doesn’t make you a fine person. Whether you were violent or not.
After that event, nobody demanded background checks for drivers license or automobile purchases.
There's a verse from the Queensryche song 'Revolution Calling' (a 31 year old song, now) that sums it up pretty well:
"I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?"

First off, none of the media organisations mentioned said he did
Secondly, Trump specified the fine people he were talking about were there the night before... you know, at the tiki torch rally where they were chanting "Jews will not replace us."

And they keep spreading this LIE!!! Just another reason I refuse to watch those channels!!! Infuriating and dishonest to the Core!!!
Sorry, but Prager is wrong here. It’s not what he said, it’s how he said it. First, it took Trump 24-48 hrs to make a statement condemning them. Second, Trump’s response was very reserved. All he said was “I condemn them” but he didn’t put the same energy into condemning them as he does everyone else. Where’s the insults? Where’s the nicknames? Trump is rampant on Twitter when it comes to bashing people he doesn’t like, yet where was that during Charlottesville? Any group of people who yells “Jews will not replace us” deserves the same vigorous condemnation Trump gave Omar and Cummings, yet I didn’t see that from him. Not to mention, I seem to recall Trump conveniently forgetting who David Duke was during and interview with Jake Tapper while he was campaigning. Also, the event itself was organized by Jason Kessler, a known white supremacist. Those people who were just there to protest the statue, I’m not sure why the thought it was a good idea to go there given it was known what the event was about.

Little late on this one.
After this video blew up, CNN got rid of Steve Cortes. I've saw him a few times recently on The Ingraham Angle on FNC.
The MSM needs to be sued into the ground!
Cannot believe how often this lie keeps being repeated without anyone calling the lie out. Sickening.
The Left wants to believe anything evil against the president so they take any bad thing said about him as gospel.
You mean the lie that she got run over by a Neo-Nazi? Since the proof is there that the guy was actively fleeing from a mob of people assaulting his vehicle after being directed by a man waving around a rifle.
Prager "University" is lying to you. It maliciously cherry picks facts to deliberately misinform their viewers.
In this specific video, they only reference what Trump said in his on August 15th, 2016 _after_ Trump repeatedly dragged his feet and only disavowed them after there was public mounting pressure. The media focus was legitimate and started years earlier (which this video doesn't show in order to create strawman fallacies). Media coverage scrutinizing Trump was more than fair.
Way back in February 2016, he posted a Mussolini quote because he "wanted to be associated with and interesting quotes and people". CNN quickly followed up with an interview soon asked him if he would disavow white supremacists including people like KKK leader David Duke.
Trump refused to condemn Duke four times. Trump claimed ignorance about white supremacy and claimed not to know who David Duke was despite:
1. Talking about David Duke days a few day prior to the interview, and sporadic mentions of David Duke in Trump's twitter history.
2. The interviewer explaining to him David Duke was the leader of the KKK.
When he started getting heat for that, two days later Trump lied that he couldn't hear hear Jake Tapper's questions.. We can be sure he lied because Trump repeated virtually everything said DURING the interview.
Leading up to Trump's condemnation mentioned in this video six months later, the Charlottesville debacle renewed the issue. Trump was asked to condemn the Neo-Nazis and again Trump refused to say the literal words. During his press conference on August 11th, a reporter asked him to disavow and he just wandered off the stage.
Trump started pushing his "both sides" rhetoric the next days on on camera for August 12th and 13th. Unsurprisingly, people recognized this as favorable treatment of Nazis because his "both sides" rhetoric was casting the impression that both the Nazi's and the people counter-protesting the Nazis were equally at fault. I should note that the KKK website specifically thanked Trump for how he handled of those questions and for his thinly veiled, clear support.
After all, in a fictional scenario where cops catch Hannibal Lector, the Mayor would not hold a conference talking about how "both sides", both have had histories of violent incidents. It would be a transparently obvious move to imply that murderous cannibals and cops are both equally condemnable.
After refusing to say those words public outrage finally peaked. A few days later 15th when he caved in and explicitly condemned them once by name. Now, people are simply quoting Trump from the 15th, thinking it is compelling evidence that he was willing to disavow them.
For the record, the media (CBS, CNN, NPR, MSNBC, etc.) all accurately reported that Trump disavowed them for that date, *and* how he distinguished the groups of protestors from Nazis. Media critiques of Trump were for valid reasons like his previous attempts to dodge the request; That is why Prager didn't show them.
@@DerekHise No
@@TheFunnyGuy9000 You can verify everything I said for yourself.
It's not like Trump bothers deleting most of his self-incriminating tweets. It's trivial to find uncut CSPAN footage of his speeches, recordings of his many interviews, etc.
A lie told often enough becomes "truth".
Such as the lie that she was struck by the car.
"Charlottesville was a white pride rally."
"James Fields is a neo-nazi terrorist"
And this video is the lie.

@@jackingram9490 watch "how prageru lies to you: charlottesville"
@@dot0l looked it up and got nothing still no fact against this.
This video, infact this whole channel is a lie.
Question: Why is it white people are not allowed to lobby for their race, and it's interests? If they do, they're immediately labeled "white supremacists" or "NEO NAZI's." Yet, when any other racial group does the same, it's looked upon as righteous. And they'll be the 1st to criticize any white group of people who've gathered together as "whites." How is this fair in any shape or way? And how it that not racism toward whites?
PS: BTW, I would be perfectly happy if all Americans simply forgot about their race. Wouldn't bother me a bit. However this isn't reality in today's world, and as long as it's this way, I'm about tired of the "war against whites."
Your question is a fair one, but you know the answer: history. Historically, white pride gets linked with racism toward other groups. I'm not suggesting that this is always the case in today's society, but the stigma is thick. Just to be clear, even as a black man, I support the right to exercise free speech, ESPECIALLY for those with which I disagree. It's the Left that wants to take that away. I'd rather live in a free society and then deal with the evil that exists than live in a government engineered attempt at utopia.
Because a very specific group want the eradication of Christians and Europeans.
The democrats lost the election. This is their response -- Anifa, the threat of white supremacy, the President's a racist, etc. etc. Do you really want these people in power? Not on your life.
In an ideal world, race would not matter. However, the sad reality is that this country was built on racism, and whites have consistently been at the top, keeping others down for most of that time.
The fact is that, as a group, we have the majority of wealth, power, and control. So there's no good reason for us to fight for anything as a group. It only ever ends up being about harming non-whites.
@@kfjw
While I'll agree with the first sentence. The rest is a racist meme.
Especially the belief that there is no good reason for us not to fight for what is ours.
If others will fight to take what is ours, then we must at the least defend ourselves. We need not strike back and take what is currently theirs. Indeed, it would be better if we instead built them up.
But, people of European descent have been trying to build up the rest of the world for centuries, and they always strike our extended hand. Now, it occurs within our countries, the people we allowed in or to stay out of the goodness of our spirit assault us, steal from us, even murder us for the mere fact of our differing races. While we chide ourselves for thinking of them differently than ourselves.
That era is coming to an end. The only reason it could exist was not for education against prejudice, but a deeply held prejudice that the blank slate was a real thing and people could be molded as easily as pouring water into a differently shaped glass.
I believe law enforcement was told to " stand down."
Same thing was done in California. Cops were told to sit around and do nothing while Antifa members beat protesters.
Yet they only locked up people on the right, not antifa that initiated the violence and were left alone by cops

ruclips.net/video/4T45Sbkndjc/видео.html
Neo-Nazis and white supremacists aren't blind to the fact that their ideologies are not mainstream. They _expect_ explicit condemnation, but implicit affirmation is not lost on them. When the president dog whistles support, the damage is done, even if he claims to abhor them later, which they already expect any president to do.
That's why the newsworthy item isn't Trump's lip service after his damaging comments. Condemning hateful ideologies is to be _expected,_ not applauded. It wouldn't be news if Joe Biden said "I condemn the Taliban" because we already _expect_ that any American president automatically would. If he said "there are very fine Islamic extremists. I condemn the Taliban", it's the first part that's most telling--and damaging.
You don't get to toe the line when it comes to Nazism. There's no grey area, no hesitation, no equivocation. You can loudly condemn them 999 times, but if you give a whisper of support 1 time, you have failed.
Notice, the CNN Employee didn't call out his own network 🤔
Well, yeah- I'm assuming he wants to keep his job. Calling your msm employer out publicly is a great form of career suicide in today's collectivist media mindset. I'm pretty sure a few CNN employees felt the burn, though- and equally certain he'll pay for it somehow... If more employees think like this guy, then there must be some rather heated and "interesting" conversations happening behind the camera, lol. Accusing someone of Journalistic Malfeasance is fightin' words!
@@pyroman6000 I understand what you're saying, completely. But not calling them out doesn't exactly give them any more credibility. It just made him looks dishonest, as well.
Well, technically, he did say "and the others". The fact he appears on CNN himself actually lends additional credibility to his critique of the MSM.
What a big mistake. This video seemed useful and fair in its analysis until he clearly omitted the CNN mention, when they are one of the worst MSM in terms of lying and obfuscation.
The guy wants to keep his job and feed his family. It doesn't have to say CNN; he is always on CNN defending POTUS. He clearly is not on their side....just collects a paycheck from them.
