Yes, media, the alt-left is as bad as the alt-right . . . and here's why you don't see it | Herman Cain

Yes, media, the alt-left is as bad as the alt-right . . . and here's why you don't see it | Herman Cain:
"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.
Now before we cut to the chase, let's understand why this exchange kept taking place. 
To pretend that Antifa and BLM bore no responsibility for what happened would make you look like a total fool. 
Anyone who saw the footage knows the alt-left counterprotesters played a major role in escalating the situation to violence.
So the media don't want to talk about that. 
Their objective in these Q&A sessions with Trump is to get Trump to say something that makes it sound like he sympathizes with white supremacists. 
Image result for alt-left is as bad as the alt-right
So they've established a truth-that-cannot-be-denied, which is that no matter what anyone else does wrong, no one is as evil as the alt-right
And they're hoping they can get Trump to say something to the contrary so they can bash him for it.
Trump did not say that, although they're trying to make you think he did.
But that's OK. 
I'll say it. 
Yes, media. 
The alt-left is as bad as the alt-right. 
And if you want to quantify it, fine. 
The alt-right is 100 percent evil. 
The alt-left is 100 percent evil.
Now, when you say that someone is 100 percent evil, it's hard for anyone to make the case that you "defended" them. 
But people will do it anyway. 
They will say that you had a moral obligation to declare the alt-right as a unique level of evil, so much so that if you even acknowledge anyone else has culpability, it's tantamount to endorsing the alt-right. That's absurd, of course, but that's the state of our discourse today. 
And it's the direct result of the alt-left's work, which is exactly why they're so evil..."
Read it all. Much here!
