[I'm still against destroying them which some of the "alt-left" have decided to do.]
If I'm reading things correctly, the Lee statue was sold off and not slated for destruction by the city.
[Because regardless of their position, they still had the right to protest.]
What does that have to do with our difference in interpretation to Trump trying to prevent "all" or "any" blame for the violence on the alt-right?  The violence occurred regardless of their (or the counter-protesters') right to protest.
