Sham? Dr. Goebbles must be smiling in his grave given the propaganda fest this incident has provoked. Had these white supremacist nuts simply been ignored, nothing would have come of their pathetic demonstration. Their foolish antics were, indeed, provocative but not illegal - had they done anything illegal the police would have been all over them. It was the counter demonstrators that broke the law by attacking these nuts and now are defending their actions with 'the ends justify the means argument' that rings so hollow every time it is trotted out. Trump is no saint but he is not empathizing with these wackos - he is simply pointing out that it takes two sides to create violent confrontation.
