Neo–Nazis LOVED Trump’s Charlottesville Remarks – “He Didn’t Attack Us. Nothing Specific Against Us. God Bless Him”

Trump’s remarks on the violence in Charlottesville over the weekend are being criticized by many, including members of his own political party.

But Trump’s choice of words are being cheered by some people: namely neo-Nazis and white nationalists.

The Daily Stormer (a neo-Nazi website I refuse to link to) posted updates about Saturday’s events as hundreds of mostly young, white men who had gathered in Charlottesville to stage a rally to “take America back” clashed with counterprotesters.

The website posted a live blog with photos of people carrying Confederate flags and neo-Nazi paraphernalia.

“WE HAVE AN ARMY! THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A WAR!”

The violence got out of hand and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency. Around 1 PM on Saturday, Trump finally broke his silence, tweeting that there was

“no place for this kind of violence in America.”

Trump’s first tweet didn’t even mention Charlottesville. His statement later got a little more specific but named no groups,

“The hate and division must stop. And must stop right now. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. On many sides. It’s been going on for a long time in our country.”

The Daily Stormer’s live blog quoted Trump’s initial tweets with the commentary:

“Trump is tweeting about us. I don’t think he understands who the haters were.”

In his statement, he did not say which “sides” he was referring to, or whose hatred and bigotry he was condemning.

Less than a half-hour after Trump’s live remarks, the Daily Stormer had declared the president’s words as a signal of tacit support for their side:

“Trump comments were good. He didn’t attack us. He just said the nation should come together. Nothing specific against us.

He said that we need to study why people are so angry, and implied that there was hate … on both sides!

So he implied the antifa are haters.

There was virtually no counter-signaling of us at all.

He said he loves us all.

No condemnation at all. When asked to condemn, [Trump] just walked out of the room. Really, really good. God bless him.”

Earlier Saturday, former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke tweeted to Trump.

“I would recommend you take a good look in the mirror & remember it was White Americans who put you in the presidency, not radical leftists.”

The Daily Stormer had a warning for the rest of us.

“And to everyone, know this: we are now at war. And we are not going to back down. … We are going to go bigger than Charlottesville. We are going to go huge. We are going to take over the country. … We learned a lot today. And we are going to remember what we learned. This has only just begun.”

A hacker associated with Anonymous says it will shut down The Daily Stormer today. They are terrorists, they should be shut down.
