GAINESVILLE, Fla. ? About five hours before his companion allegedly fired a bullet toward several protesters, and a day before police charged him with attempted homicide, Colton Fears, in an interview with HuffPost, laid out the grievances that had brought him to town. “Basically, I’m just fed up with the fact that I’m cis-gendered, I’m a white male, and I lean right, towards the Republican side,” said Fears, 28, wearing a pin of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS. “And I get demonized if I don’t accept certain things.”

White nationalist protesters in Charlottesville "had a permit. The other group didn’t have a permit."
— Donald Trump on Tuesday, August 15th, 2017 in a question-and-answer session with reporters
[...]
Our ruling
Trump said that white nationalist protesters in Charlottesville "had a permit. The other group didn’t have a permit."
In reality, both the Unite the Right marchers and the counter-protesters had official permission to assemble on Saturday, either from a court or from the city. If Trump meant to refer to the Friday night march, then neither side would have needed a permit to assemble. And if he did mean Friday night’s march, then he is seriously distorting the torch-light march by saying participants were "protesting very quietly."
We rate the statement Pants on Fire.
