One, maybe because he actually believes it, but also two, because thats just not what donald trump does. he doesnt, quote unquote, go back on his word. but its dangerous and let me tell you-y because under the guise of being, quote unquote, not politically correct, its very dangerous to sweep white supremacy under that umbrella. because white supremacy has literally killed people in this country. heather heyer died at the hands of white supremacists. this isnt just about being politically correc...

So im wondering, simone, why is he unable or unwilling to move on from making a comparison between white supremacists and those who protest against them? again, antifa, the violent tactics are wrong. no one is condoning that. but it is different. >> its absolutely different. i think part of this is donald trump has a real problem acknowledging when hes been wrong. i dont think that weve seen in the short life of this president, in the short of this presidency that weve seen donald trump fully ac...

On both sides, but the white supremacists are different because they are mimicking a movement that is responsible for the murder and extermination of an entire people, millions of people. the antifa crowd is not mimicking a movement that is responsible for an ethnic cleansing. that is what makes it different. if hes unable to distinguish that point, hes never going to be able to send an effective message which i think is a shame, because i dont think anyone -- i havent seen a single democrat sup...

And hes still not getting it. hes met with the cbc and hes still not getting it. the naacp -- >> ive got to bring david in. but ive got to say, april. and youll get a chance to respond to something else. you dont know what you dont know. sometimes you have to say you know what? i dont know. im not an african-american. im not sure of the experience. i dont know about these things but -- >> but as president of all people its his duty to know, isnt it? >> yeah. david, talk to me about the meeting a...

Aenlt fa. he would have said tim scott came in, gave me a little primer on some things that i had not thought as deeply about as maybe i should and this is a good basis to move forward. he didnt. thats not respecting whatever tim scott went there to do. >> just quickly, don, to pick up on daves point. that clip you played, how much of that clip percentagewise is about tim scott and how much of it is about donald trump? i mean, its 95% about donald trump because even when hes talking about tim sc...

Neo-nazis and white supremacists saying there was violence on many sides. then he condemned them in that prewritten speech. then he went back off the rails in that kwield press conference. why does he think theres wiggle room when hes talking about white supremacists? what is he not getting? im a little dense. explain it to me more. >> i think he is very loyal to his supporters. and listen, a lot of people in that crowd, there were people dressing up in donald trump golf uniforms. i think he rea...

He is missing a home run opportunity to send the message violence is bad. period. kkk is really bad. republicans have more of an obligation to call that out because those are some of his supporters in that crowd. and i think trump should be able to give a speech that does ultimately talk about violence on both sides, but the white supremacists are different because they are mimicking a movement that is responsible for the murder and extermination of an entire people, millions of people. the anti...

Since then with antifa, you look at really whats happened since charlottesville, a lot of people are saying, in fact, a lot of people have actually written, gee, trump might have a point. i said youve got some very bad poem on the ear side also which is true. but we had a great conversation. >> chris, why? >> why? >> i mean, that -- >> well, okay. ive spent some time thinking about this. the only possible answer, don, is that he is extremely driven to prove he is right in visit wale -- well, tak...
