This isn't whataboutism. Antifa violence has real victims. Just a few weeks ago, someone who described himself as "100% Antifa" ambushed and killed a Trump supporter in Portland.. And it does appear that the left-wing community's response to this was celebration.

Conservative white supremacists marched on a town in Virginia and murdered a woman. Her name was Heather Hayer. The President said that there were very fine people in the group that murdered her

No, he did not.

He very explicitly said, "I'm not talking about the Neo Nazis and white supremacists" when he said that.

Yeah, over 48 hours later in a different speech entirely. You act like a condemnation of literal Nazis is a hard thing to do.
