Today Donnie went on TV and said" as I said Saturday" and then said what he did not say Saturday, that is that Nazis, white supremacist's and white nationalists are terrible ignorant intolerable people. For the past two days the chattering class has been busily talking about what was not said Saturday and what that means. Now they are busily engaged in discussing what was said today and not Saturday and what that means. This will keep them busily engaged and employed until the next crisis of words occurs.
We can fully expect Donnie's apologists to explain his statements of Saturday and today. Perhaps Kellyanne Will revert to an earlier explanation she used in which she explained that Donnie had said the same thing on two occasions but had just use different words but what was in his heart was always the same. Sarah may explain the reference to violence and hatred coming from many places for a long time by discussing Donnie's keen interest in history and that he was probably including an implicit reference to Nat Turner's rebellion in 1831 which resulted in the death of over 50 White Virginians. Donnie likes broad historical perspective.
Meanwhile, that lion of civil rights, attorney general Sessions, will lead a federal investigation into the events at Charlottesville. It could hardly be in better hands.
Rumor has it that in the Steve Bannon wing of the administration there is concern that the nazis and white supremacists will not be treated fairly. Another uncorroborated rumor from an unreliable source says that Bannon would like to see a presidential commission headed up by Sebastian Gorky looking into whether the civil rights of these groups we're violated. It was noted that there is a long and honorable tradition by such groups marching and gathering carrying torches through the night constituting symbolic speech which should not have been interrupted. Bannon hopes to remind Donnie who voted for him.
