Free speech. there have been many people who fought for the rights of these hate groups to say what they want to say out loud. dow believe necessary should have the right to march? the right to march and to speak is very different than the right to violence. >> yeah, you know, my father was an army veteran and he raised me to believe in the first amendment. thats why he put his life on the line for this country and, yes, everyone has the right to speak. even though i may not want to hear what yo...

Number one, trump is just loath to criticize his supporters. we saw that throughout the campaign when his supporters were beating up protesters and doing things like that. only grudgingly would trump say anything negative about them, and often he didnt say anything negative at all. the other point here is that the alt-right white supremacists and neo nazis like we saw in charlottesville today are a part of trumps supporters. they just are. most of the people at that rally who were marching with ...

Shooting after the congressional baseball practice. he hit the right tone and mark following that shooting. i was hoping he would do that today. i think they made a mistake by trying to cram the charlottesville shooting into another event. think were planning to sign a bill on the va. i think he would have scrapped that, waited 30 minutes and gathered facts on the person that lost their life and included that in the speech. one thing i think republicans -- and you are seeing it in a lot of repub...

Going on i was at a park in our city in which a group of young people gave away nearly 150 book bags and school supplies to kids in the communities. i think that represents charlottesville. even in the midst of adversity, we find a way to take care of our own and give back. >> do you expect there to be any more flare ups of violence tonight? any sense there will be more marches, counter-marches, things like that? >> one thing i have learned is that in these kind of scenarios and situations you h...
