Full article posted with the permission of Newsweek -- DonDONALD TRUMP JR. BLAMES 'ATMOSPHERE OF HATRED' FOR ATTACKS ON FATHER'S RESPONSE TO CHARLOTTESVILLE
BY JACK MOORE ON 10/6/17 AT 8:55 AM
Donald Trump Jr. has sprung to the defense of his father, President Donad Trump, over his reaction to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, critizing what he called an atmosphere of hatred.
He said that criticism of Trumps response to Charlottesvilleafter which the president said that "both sides," white nationalists and left-wing protesters, were to blamewas due to the spread of hatred by students on liberal university campuses and the left-wing media.
Speaking at an annual fundraising event for Faulkner University, a private Christian institution in Alabama, Trump Jr. said: He condemned...the white nationalists and the left-wingers. That should not have been controversial, but it was.
Trump Jr. was referring to the riots in Charlottesville in reaction to the march of neo-Nazis through the town. Violence left one protester dead, Heather Heyer, and many more injured.
He then took aim at left-wing protests where conservative figures have been scheduled to speak, and a culture at colleges that he said taught young Americans to hate their country and hate their religion.
Hate speech is that America is a good country... that we need borders... anything that comes out of the mouth of the president... the moral teaching of the Bible, he said.
Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. spoke about another incident of left-wing violence when suspected Democrat supporter James Hodgkinson shot at Republican lawmakers at a baseball practice in June, severely injuring Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana.
He went out looking for Republicans to kill, Trump Jr. said, and were supposed to forget that.
In the 35-minute address, for which he was paid at least above $50,000 according to his now-removed All American Speakers page, he attacked social justice warriors and Marxists in reference to the left-wingers he believed were attacking his father.
"Everyone to the right of them is Hitler," he added.
Trumps son is giving a series of speeches both at home and abroad for which he is earning lucrative sums, as much as $100,000, according to NBC News. The appearances are attracting criticism because of his access to the Oval Office.
After his fathers entrance into the White House, Trump Jr. has been paid for at least one speech in the United Arab Emirates, where his fathers businessthe Trump Organizationhas business operations, such as the Trump International Golf Club in Dubai.

Your list of life's accomplishments begins and ends at the vagina you fell out of you cretin.
I know thousands of people of far less wealth, but far greater worth to society and history.
If there has ever been a less worthy person for a speaking engagement or paid appearance, I am quite sure I am not aware of them.
Keep on sitting in daddy's shadow and begging for attention you scumbag puss maggot.

(5,803 posts)You are treasonous pieces of shit who would watch millions of people die just to fill your coffers.
And trying to shove your bible down the throats of everyone in this country is just hypocritical bullshit. You haven't learned a moral lesson in your life and neither has your father. Never once have you stopped to think or ask "what would Jesus do". You've never read three pages of the bible. And even if you had, you wouldn't give a fuck. You worship at the golden altar of your white supremacist father and his money bags. So keep your religion out of my politics. You probably never read the Constitution either and aren't aware of separation of church and state. Asshole.
Fuck you double Jr.
