In followup to my piece from earlier this morning, I want to focus very specifically on the one question - which was really an accusation - that reporters kept shouting at President Trump during his presser yesterday. Whenever Trump pointed out that the alt-left bore some responsibility for what happened in Charlottesville, reporters demanded to know: "Are you putting the alt-left on the same moral plane as the alt-right?"
The president replied that he wasn't looking to put anyone on any moral plane. He was simply stating an obvious truth about what happened in Charlottesville.
