Your link that supposedly says it never happened seems to say that it happened pretty much exactly as i described.

> Trump did say there were "very fine people on both sides," referring to the protesters and the counterprotesters.

> He said in the same statement he wasn't talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists, who he said should be "condemned totally."

If you are marching alongside nazis, at a march organized by neo-nazis, you’re a nazi. There are by definition no good people who march alongside nazis, so his (and your) attempt to differentiate falls flat.
