Alternative reality, and a better one. Monday, Aug. 14, President Trump speaks from the Oval Office:

“My fellow Americans: On Saturday, our country saw the tragic results of organized hatred. We saw hateful speech, speech consisting of the most vicious bigotry known to man, chanted by heavily-armed men deliberately instigating trouble. We also saw counter-protesters, some peaceful but many of them radical, fall for, or even welcome, the bigots’ invitation to violence, and we saw violence erupt in skirmishes unacceptable in a civilized society – not from white supremacists, not from radical leftists, not from anybody.
