FACT CHECK: Was There Violence on Both Sides of Charlottesville?

President Donald Trump reiterated Thursday his claim that “both sides” were to blame for the violence in Charlottesville, prompting The New York Times to relitigate the statement.

Were both sides violent?

Verdict: True

Regardless of blame regarding who started the violence or who perpetrated the most violence, it is true that both sides committed violence during the Charlottesville fiasco.

The report does not, however, address whether one or both sides were in fact violent during the protests.
