I wish the media would stop showing DT saying his false equivalence statements. It's just giving

the fascists more and more encouragement.

Sometimes the media misses the point of what they are doing.

for the lies they are every day. The media are doing a pretty good job explaining why they are wrong and morally bankrupt and they need to keep doing it. The people who love Trump aren't listening anyhow.

Yes some nazi's may think they're winning by hearing Dolt's words repeated. But they're already emboldened. (And PS, no one hates hearing his voice more than I do--I just fast-forward for my own sanity).

Full-on condemnation.
