@Health, that is not an accurate transcript. The following is a transcript, directly from the video.
Reporter: You’re putting what you call the “alt-left” and white supremacists on the same moral plane.
Trump: I’m not putting anybody on a moral plane. What I’m saying is this; you had a group on one side and you had a group on the other, and they came at each other with clubs, and it was vicious, and it was horrible, and it was a horrible thing to watch. But there is another side. There was a group on this side, you can call them the left, you’ve just called them the left, that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that’s the way it is.
Reporter: You said there was hatred and violence on both sides-
Trump: Well, I do think there’s blame on both sides. You look at both sides, I think there’s blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, and you don’t have any doubt about it either. And, if you reported it accurately, you would say.

Trump: And you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of a statue of to them, a very important statue, and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.
There you go.
There may have been people who didn’t want the statue taken down that were not neo-Nazis. But the rally was filled with Nazi flags. And they were screaming Nazi slogans. And it was organized by Richard Spencer. Yes, that Richard Spencer. And there were people, if you can call them that, like David Duke and Chris Barker in attendance.
If someone is at a rally, for whatever reason, and neo-Nazis are chanting their slogans, and they stay, they are not a fine person, let alone a very fine person. Period.
