house are very small at this point, and they are already starting to look ahead and see. you know, there is a way, i mean, both parties have used the politics of fear to animate their voters to turn out. you think of democrats saying if republicans win, they are going to take away obamacare. but those were policy-based arguments. the difference here, when the president is standing in a room talking to evangelicals and talking about violence, he is making something up. he is going further and going past the bounds of reality to scare them about something that s just not true. say what you will about antifa, but they, you know, the idea it s going to be blood in the streets it was white supremacist, a white supremacist who killed heather higher. i think that s an important point to make. this violence, this alleges of violence or this threat of violence is not new either. he talked about this in june of
living in white power echo chamber. he marched in charlottesville convinced his history and identity were being erased. he had no idea those lies would lead to the death of an innocent 32 year-old woman. named heather. that her death would touch a nerve. not just in charlottesville, but around the world. my own story of transformation taught me the dialogue can lead to understanding and acceptance. the opposite of what the white supremacists are pushing. that s why i want to speak with heather s mother.
right and wrong. she was always out talking to people. she was trying to make a difference. susan raised her in a single wide trailer in the hills outside charlottesville flt it was a hard life. it instilled a passion for social justice. heather never planned on counter protesting. until she saw cell phone video of the racist chants at the torch rally. i saw actual video heather that day. talking to a young lady from the alt right asking her why are you here? what are you doing? and the girl kept saying no comment. i have to hope that somehow the
this is gabe. nice to meet you. this is susan. heather s mother. sit down. have a seat. cold enough for you? yeah. pretty chilly out there. yeah. a little bit. gabe, what are you feeling right now? to be honest with you, a bit awkward. so do i. just because we both know that you were here this summer. what s it like being here now? what s the feeling of being back in charlotte ville. just raelealizing the magnit of what happened there. that got like national attention and i wasn t even expecting that, to be honest with you. how did you feel when you heard that somebody had been killed? i really didn t know how to feel, no sensitivity. honestly at the time i really didn t care because it was not? from the other side.
girl went home and thought what the hell am i doing here? and maybe she ll remember that heather talked to her. and have some soul searching from that. how did you find out about heather s death? her friend justin called me. and he just kept saying i think she got hit by that car. i kept saying what car. i don t know what you re talking about. he said the hospital they need to find the next of kin. i said oh i called my parents and said please pray. when we got to the hospital, two ladies grabbed me and walked me up. i walked to the room.
