"Corey Lewandowski Defends Neo-Nazis In Sacha Baron Cohen's 'Who Is America?'":
Corey Lewandowski Defends Neo-Nazis In Sacha Baron Cohen’s ‘Who Is America?’
snip
“Why should the president pick a side between anti-fascists and fascists?” Cohen asks Lewandowski in the fifth episode of his show, which aired on the one-year anniversary of Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville which had led to violence and the death of a counterprotester.
“You have to respect them, you can’t be attacking them,” Lewandowski says of the white supremacists.
“You can’t be attacking honest, fascist people that just want to express their right to start a genocide,” Cohen continues, attempting to bait Lewandowski into a clearly skewed response. “That is their right.”
Lewandowski’s remarks are similar to what Trump himself said after violence in Charlottesville last August, calling both fascists and anti-fascists “very fine people,” a statement that had generated widespread backlash at the time.
