And he chided in one of those interviews for congress for not repealing obamacare. the bills they were considering would have hammered the working class. it didnt make any sense. the one thing that steve bannon and donald trump worked together on was race. donald trump is not well disposed to latinos or african-americans and people of color. he shares that with steve bannon and those instincts all came out in the aftermath of charlottesville and the american people are not very happy with it. >>...

All these republicans that have been coming out being the dominant storyline, brooke, but i dont think its going to be a completely page-turning moment for him. it seems to me that republican leaders on the hill are still looking to hear from donald trump to clean up and move past those remarks on tuesday where he had that moral equivalency between the counterprotesters and the kkk and the neo-nazis. >> you know, you mention all these really important republicans, but i think the one voice that ...

Mutually agreed today would be steves last day. we are grateful for his service and wish him the best. now just to reiterate the reporting a few moments ago from jonathan swan, it is my understanding that he actually officially submitted his resignation about two weeks ago to correspond to his one year anniversary. that he came onto the white house. obviously he has been a lightning rod since the very first day that president trump announced him as the chief strategist. hes someone whose linked ...

Charlottesville, virginia and calling him out by name, questioning his abilities to lead the nation, due the presidents insistence that both sides, the white supremacists and counterprotesters are to blame for the violence. >> the president has not yet -- has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability, confidence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful. >> what we want to see from our president is clarity and moral authority and that moral authority is compromised when tuesday...

On a friday in august to have them make the case to have kelly, mcmaster certainly, who has been victimized by bannon, make the case that this is the moment to pull the plug on steve bannon. >> reporter: and hes getting a lot of pressure to do exactly that. particularly after charlottesville. because people believe that steve bannon is aligned with and feeds into some of what we heard from the president, that got so much backlash. the fact he equated white supremacists with the counterprotesters...

There was a sense that steve bannon was really a touchstone for president trump to the base that got him elected but at the same time, craig, almost from day one, he was waging wars with those in the president aesz inner circle, labeling people like jared kushner, gary cohn, as the west wing democrat and airing those grievances publicly as youve been discussing throughout the hour. president trump himself thought steve bannon may have been leaking out information. i think in the wake of charlott...

So we end this week where we started. with hate once again stealing the headlines from compassion. from understanding. and from unity. the two opposing forces are set to battle again this weekend as far right extremists threaten a repeat of what happened in charlottesville and counterprotesters plan to meet them. around the world, the week ends with people trying to find meaning and promise in the sadness and tragedy. and that brings this hour to a close for me. ill see you back here at 10:00 p....

Them. we just want them relocated to a more appropriate place in lexington. but, no, this is a grassroots effort and people are ready in full force. absolutely. they will continue to hear from them. >> before i let you go, you mention you are calling on the people of lexington to ignore it if any of these white nationalists groups show up. what happens if counterprotesters from outside of lexington show up. would you encourage them to stay away? is that what youre calling on them to do? >> the c...

Regrets. my grandfather who lived in arkansas in the south who lived through true racism and radical clansman who escaped to go to chicago is who i thought about earlier today when i went on the air to talk about president trump. it was a very emotional time for me. the president has a lot of work to do and the unfortunate part about the work that he has to do is it appears he does not want to listen, take advice or understand the true issues, especially around races that are impacting our count...
