text: There is a lot to criticize in Trump's response (e.g. there were no good people on the side of the neo nazis and white nationalists) but I do not believe the premise of this article is correct - Trump never said that the two sides are morally equivalent. He said both sides deserve blame for the violence.  He appears to be correct: Footage shows that the resisters did in fact initiate violence.
  
  If your going to criticize Trump, and there is a ton to criticize him over, please at least get the facts straight.  Otherwise you give his defenders ammunition to reject the criticism.
  
  If I'm wrong, please provide quotes from Trump where he says both sides are morally equivalent. Again saying they both deserve blame for violence is not saying they are both operating in the same moral universe.
