Q: Is President Trump right that there was violence on "both sides" in Charlottesville?

Today, President Trump claimed that there was violence on "both sides," and that alt-left and alt-right both shared blame in the incidents at Charlottesville, Virginia. Is this factually accurate?

Beedrill

@BlueBarren 7 months

BlueBarren

@Beedrill wait contacts at 7 months?

Beedrill

He was born with a congenital cataract and had surgery at 6 weeks.

His eye doesn't have the natural lens in it at all anymore, so the contact prescription is really high because it acts as his eye's lens.

He wears glasses in addition to the contact.

be it "i don't want my family/friends to kick me out for being a white supremacist" or "i don't want to live in a world where some groups of people have little to no chance of advancement"
