David Duke and Richard Spencer recognized and were appreciative of the moral equivalence in the POTUS's remarks, despite the fact a Nazi had murdered a young woman in cold blood.

There was a leftist here on SI some years back (unfortunately I can't remember his name) that liked to say that the Jews had declared war on Nazi Germany ... he posted a headline from the 1930's about a Jewish boycott that used the phrase "Jews declare war on Germany." His purpose was to draw a false moral equivalence between Nazis and their victims. And that's just what President Trump did in his second set of remarks.

In both cases, a murderer(s) and his victim(s) were presented as both to blame. Several Trumpsters here on this thread (longnshort, fubho, and mark marmony) followed up Trump's statement by agreeing the young lady murdered in Charlottesville got what she had coming.
