The Left Defends Antifa. We talk about Confederate statutes and why we're really talking about Confederate statutes.

Just a great job all around. We're going to talk today a lot about why the left seems to now be defending violence.

Why are we even talking about Confederate monuments? What the goals are of the various political sides and even discussing this, and we'll go through the various arguments for and against keeping them. But before we do any of that, first, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at wink so if you feel like you need a drink

So it seems that the left had an ulterior motive when it comes to the events in Charlottesville.

I don't mean that they organized the events in Charlottesville with an intent toward what happened to that innocent young woman,

or that it's their fault that they went there and counter-protested an evil white supremacist movement.

And spare me all of the talk about how there were lots of wonderful people at an evil white supremacist movement. And spare me all of the talk
