Trump Claims the Deadly, Racist Charlottesville Rally Was a ‘Little Peanut’ Compared to College Protests

Former President Donald Trump used his post-court camera time on Thursday to minimize the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, as “a little peanut” while comparing it to pro-Palestine protests on college campuses.

Using the opportunity to bash President Joe Biden’s handling of the anti-Semitic factions of the protests, which Biden roundly condemned on Sunday, Trump brought up the violent 2017 Charlottesville gathering of white nationalists, white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and other racist and anti-Semitic groups that culminated in the death of Heather Heyer, who was killed when one of the rallygoers plowed his car into a crowd of people protesting the racist parade.

Leaving court on Thursday, Trump said:

We’re having protests all over, he’s talking about Charlottesville. Charlottesville was a little peanut, and it was nothing compared, and the hate wasn’t the kind of hate you have here. This is tremendous hate.

He repeated his comments on Truth Social:

Crooked Joe Biden would say, constantly, that he ran because of Charlottesville. Well, if tha’s the case, he’s done a really terrible job because Charlottesville is like a “peanut” compared to the riots and anti-Israel protests that are happening all over our Country, RIGHT NOW… And it’s Crooked’s fault because he sends the wrong message every single time. The fact is that Crooked Joe Biden HATES Israel and Hates the Jewish people. The problem is that he HATES the Palestinians even more, and he just doesn’t know what to do!?!?
