"Good people on both sides" = "some of the white supremacists and Neo-nazis were good people"?

Orly?

I believe chl is misquoting Tapper quoting Trump.

Accuracy matters

I have to agree with Corsi - there's no need for this sort of misquoting. Trump's words are surprising enough on their own. Misquoting will only lead credence to the calls of fake news. Accuracy matters.
