The anti-Nazi protestors who were in Charlottesville over the weekend have responded furiously to Donald Trump’s remarks this morning releasing a statement which read.

“We definitely had a Kermit at the protest. He was front and centre throwing rocks at the Ku Klux Klan and the Neo-Nazis like a proper American.”

The “Alt-Left” otherwise known as “people who don’t think Hitler should have killed all those Jews, Gypsies and political dissidents” were a bit confused as to why Trump was so fixated on Kermit.

“It’s not like it was Kermit Roosevelt, son of FDR, who essentially founded the CIA and organised groups of students in dictatorships to successfully overthrow governments. It was Kermit the Frog. Admittedly he is hardcore Antifa but he is still a muppet.”

“It makes as much sense that Trump should be banging on about Muppets at protests when Nazis are killing Americans, in America as anything else. I suppose.”

The remarks were made at a press conference during which Donald Trump essentially said that heavily armed Nazis could protest in America by running cars into crowds of people provided they have filled out the right paperwork beforehand.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry S Truman and Dwight D Eisenhower are understood to be very, very fucking unhappy with the statements.

Kermit wasn’t the only American celebrity to find himself front and centre at anti-Nazi demonstrations in the last few days with Olivia Wilde, Mark Ruffalo, Zoe Kazan and Michael Moore setting up shop outside Trump Tower to call out the orange buffoon.

Let’s hope they have the right permits.
