It seems that both Mitt Romney and Sen. John McCain, the alleged “Republican” from Arizona, have bought into the false media narrative surrounding the Charlottesville, Virginia, melee and are now supporting the far-left Antifa against President Trump.
In tweets posted on Tuesday, both men claimed that one side — meaning Antifa and their allies — opposes hate and bigotry.
“No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes,” Romney said.

“There’s no moral equivalency between racists & Americans standing up to defy hate& bigotry. The President of the United States should say so,” McCain added, obviously ignorant of Trump’s repeated statements castigating both sides in the incident.

This didn’t sit too well with quite a few people on social media:
If U believe that the other side are not haters, you are crazy. BLM hate cops, Antifa hate our country, flag, values and history. All r evil

Apparently, they’re now McCain’s heroes as well.
The fact that you view Antifa as moral and acceptable is beyond disgusting. No wonder you lost resoundingly in your presidential run.

Good point. In fact, it’s this kind of waffling and pandering to the left that cost both men their runs for the White House.
so antifa is just americans standing against hate and bigotry? i think not. you need to stop talking and retire!

Bingo. And that’s the message President Trump has been trying to get out, but propagandists in the media continue to push the lie that only one side was violent in Charlottesville.
“I think there is blame on both sides,” Trump said in a contentious back-and-forth with reporters on Tuesday. “You look at both sides, I think there is blame on both sides. I have no doubt about it; you don’t have doubt about it either. If you reported it accurately, you would say that.”
“You had a group on one side and the other and they came at each other with clubs and it was vicious and horrible. It was a horrible thing to watch. There is another side. There was a group on this side, you can call them the left…that came violently attacking the other group,” he added.
One person reminded McCain of what he’s now supporting:

Let’s be clear — there were no “good guys” in Charlottesville last Saturday. On one side were white supremacists with violent radical leftists on the other. Average Americans were caught somewhere in between, and it cost one woman her life. President Trump has made that clear multiple times.
One person tried to educate Romney:
Mitt, by claiming Antifa & the Alt Left are moral, you are excusing their violence and unAmerican behavior. BOTH SIDES should be condemned: pic.twitter.com/cgTpqc9UIz

This kind of nonsense is precisely the reason that Michael Snyder, a GOP candidate for Idaho’s 1st Congressional District, said that all RINOs — Republicans in name only — need to go.
Will the two men take note? Somehow, we doubt it.
