Trump downplays deadly Charlottesville rally by comparing it to campus protests over Gaza war

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump on Thursday claimed the 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, was “nothing” compared to ongoing pro-Palestinian campus protests, the latest instance in which he has downplayed a racist incident that was one of the most criticized moments of his presidency. Biden has recently, as he often does, publicly brought up the Charlottesville rally that sparked his decision to run against Trump in 2020, where torch-wielding white supremacists marched to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, chanting “You will not replace us!” and “Jews will not replace us!” “We’re having protests all over. And it was nothing compared — and the hate wasn’t the kind of hate that you have here.” Trump has tried to pin reported instances of antisemitism around the campus protests to Biden. “Minimizing the antisemitic and white supremacist poison displayed in Charlottesville is repugnant and divisive,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said.
