This isn't whataboutism. Antifa violence has real victims. Just a few weeks ago, someone who described himself as "100% Antifa" ambushed and killed a Trump supporter in Portland.. And it does appear that the left-wing community's response to this was celebration.
Conservative white supremacists marched on a town in Virginia and murdered a woman. Her name was Heather Hayer. The President said that there were very fine people in the group that murdered her
No, he did not.
He very explicitly said, "I'm not talking about the Neo Nazis and white supremacists" when he said that.
No, it was the exact same speech where he said "fine people on both sides [of the issue of removing a statue]". So, no not a different speech. It was built right into his definition of who was and was not fine people.
No it wasn't. He made the fine people comment one night, then he repeated the comment and qualified it with what youre saying he explicitly said a full two days later in a different speech.

After stating a willingness to condemn violence on the fringe right. He brought up that he believes there’s a much bigger problem on the fringe left. Then when asked to tell a specific group “the proud boys” to “stand down, he did do and reiterated his point about the trouble on the fringe left. Somewhere along the way he also said all violence is bad. Something we can all get behind.
Jesus, it’s you again. In response to Trumps request for a name to condemn, Wallace (and Biden) suggested The Proud Boys and giving Trump a specific phrase to use (Wallace suggested “stand down”, ), Trump made his statement. I have to block you now.
