>The problem with saying “good people on both sides” is that one side is literal nazis - the origianl quote is referencing a white supremist march in Charlottesville where marchers chanted “jews will not replace us”.
Your link that supposedly says it never happened seems to say that it happened pretty much exactly as i described.
> Trump did say there were "very fine people on both sides," referring to the protesters and the counterprotesters.
> He said in the same statement he wasn't talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists, who he said should be "condemned totally."
If you are marching alongside nazis, at a march organized by neo-nazis, you’re a nazi. There are by definition no good people who march alongside nazis, so his (and your) attempt to differentiate falls flat.
That was fake news, never happened. You've been duped by Russian and Iranian propaganda: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-very-fine-people/
