| Mr. President: Don't negotiate with the swamp. Drain it. |
| 2017-08-24 |
| [American Thinker] What we saw emerging in Charlottesville was the violent wing of the unholy alliance that exists in tandem with what is called "the swamp." Democrats and even some renegade Republicans have their tentacles deep into our duly elected president's administration with a malign purpose: to bring him down. The ultimate aim is to overturn President Trump's election victory over Hillary Clinton and usher in a pervasive, debilitating socialist and statist regime in America. A friend and fellow journalist who lives in Charlottesville called me and pointed out that Virginia's Democrat governor, Terry McAuliffe, has much to answer for with respect to the violence that ensued in his state and in Charlottesville. According to my friend, the governor had deliberately chosen to spend the night in Charlottesville before the violence broke out. He had stayed at the city's Boar's Head Inn. Certainly, eyewitnesses and reporters agree that while the violence was instigated by neo-Nazis, it was met with bloody counterattacks by left-wingers and black-shirted anarchists wearing masks. Indeed, Antifa ‐ short for "anti-fascist" ‐ protesters came armed with pepper spray, bricks, clubs, and worse. The most compelling question my friend asked was this: "Does the Democrat governor and mayor's failure to secure the streets make them morally or legally responsible?" Indeed, McAuliffe had allegedly claimed that the white nationalists who streamed into Charlottesville that weekend hid weapons throughout the town. |

| #3 violence was instigated by neo-Nazis if by 'instigated' you mean by being there with flags & stuff. |

| #2 President Trump better look at the funding part of chaos and unrest. I am VERY concerned that it has not happened yet. The FBI is compromised at the top. Are there any inroads to cleaning this up. This is one fetid swamp. A superfund site. |

| #1 In draining the Swamp, Trump might have someone take a look at those funding the chaos and unrest as well as fellow travelers. |
