Confederate flag down from the state cap a toll, which had been a long, contentious issue of race in south carolina, my home state. this president is not that. this president is not the consoler in chief, rock siler in chief. and i suspect today he will reap some of what he sows. you cant use the kind of hateful frankly and divisive rhetoric that he routinely uses and used his entire political career that he used to get elected president and that he continues to use. and then expect to be receiv...

Trump. >> hey, we have heard from the mayor-ohio and congresswoman escobar ahead of this trip that the president is making today to both ohio and texas. what kind of pushback do we expect the president to be facing here? >> right. so in this situation, any president would assume the role of sort of the consoler in chief. we saw it a bunch during obamas presidency. we saw it during the george w. bush presidency, especially after 9/11, of course. under donald trump, that whole circumstance has bec...

Acknowledgement from the very top that we need to heal. >> there is so much in there to unpack. we do know that hate crimes have gone up over the last three years since this president has been in office. actually before then during his campaign. that is a data point we have. we know its a real problem. the other part with respect to him going to el paso and dayton, less of an issue in dayton. they seem to be more open in having him go there. el paso they feel differently. the reality is the pres...
