text: For him to say there was equal blame  to be had is equivalent to saying " yeah, it was rape, but look what she was wearing." don't kid yourself that trump is being held to some different standard. The alt- right , which by the way is their own coinage, is comprised of hyper-masculinists/ white nationalist/christian identity/kkk/neo-nazi / groups, somewhat more tangentially anti- government militias. The rhetoric and historical actions of these groups have been consistently provocative, intentionally menacing and frequently violent . Funny how disdainful the grass roots right is of " political correctness", yet will sanitize violent nationalism with a suspiciously pc-like term such as "alt-right". But this is a crowd that accepts "alt-facts" from their leader . trump isn't being held to a "different standard" , the standard among rational people of good will is objective factuality and intellectual honesty. trump has consistently fallen below that standard
