washingtonpost.com/elections/2024/04/24/trump-charlottesville-peanut-israel-protests/
Quick Glance: Trump calls deadly Charlottesville rally a 'peanut' next to Israel protests
- Former President Donald Trump referred to a deadly neo-Nazi rally as a 'peanut' compared to ongoing protests of the Israel-Gaza conflict - diminishing the significance of a 2017 white supremacist event in Charlottesville that sparked controversy when Trump, as president, stated there were 'very fine people on both sides.'
- In response to President Biden linking Charlottesville to his decision to run for president, Trump criticized Biden's handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict, emphasizing the widespread riots and anti-Israel protests happening across the country currently.
- Concerns about antisemitism have been raised by politicians from both parties amidst large-scale demonstrations condemning Israel. House Speaker Mike Johnson visited Columbia University amid campus protests, which resulted in arrests.
- Trump's portrayal of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, where white supremacists protested the removal of a Confederate statue, has been viewed critically, even by some of his supporters, as a low point in his presidency. The rally turned deadly when a neo-Nazi drove into counterprotesters, causing casualties.
