Very fine people on both sides

US President Donald Trump's remarks about the rally [a 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia “Unite the Right”] generated negative responses. In his initial statement following the rally, Trump condemned the "display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides." This first statement and his subsequent defenses of it, in which he also referred to "very fine people on both sides", were criticized as implying a moral equivalence between the white supremacist protesters and the counter-protesters."

Just in case anyone doesn’t get the sarcasm or reference.

Your sarcasm is going to be lost in most.

I think 98% of folks on Lemmy are smart enough to understand the reference.
