Very, very with those words, the president igniting a fire storm in the wake of the deadly clash in charlottesville. President Trump Doubles down on his original comments about the violence in virginia. And the president once again pointing the finger not only at the White Nationalist groups and whose rally it was but also the counter protesters, as well, latest comments coming during the News Conference at the trump tower. He wanted to talk about infrastructure, but quickly the questions turned to what happened over the weekend. He was asked to clarify his previous comments involving the deadly demonstrations over the weekend. Excuse me. What about the alt left that came charging as you say the at alt right . Let me ask you this, what the fact they came charge withing clubs in their hands swinging clubs, do they have any problem . I think they do. So, as far as im concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day. Not all of those people were White Supremecist by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue, robert e lee. Was George Washington a slave owner . So will George Washington now lose his status . How about Thomas Jefferson . What do you think of Thomas Jefferson . Youre charging history. So, immediate criticism including from this person, marco rubio, paul ryan, they put out some tweets, messages, ryan saying we must be cleve, the bigotry is counter that all this country stands for, there can be no moral ambiguity. Then also we have this comment from senator marco rubio, the White Supremacy groups will see being aside only 50 of the blame is a win . We can now allow this old evil to be resurrected, right now, 6 06. Well then there is this tweet. It was from the former kkk leader david duke. Praising his remarks saying thank you, President Trump for your honest at any and courage to tell the truth. Former president barack obama has been pretty much staying out of the public eye but in the wake of everything thats been hang he sent out a tweet in which he quoted nelson mandela, now that has become the most like tweet ever. The 44th president tweeted after the events in charlottesville this weekend saying, quote, no one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or the background or religion, so now they have like this one more than 2. 8 million times. And 4 06. Police officers across this country right now are preparing for alt right rallies in the coming days, including in new york, and boston, los angeles, and seattle. The largest rally planned is a nationwide march on google. It is going to be held to protest the firing after employee who criticized that companys diversity policy. Controversy over confederate statues across the country making some people here think about our monuments in philadelphia, specifically a mural and statue of former mayor frank rizzo, the calls are getting laudator take down what some call a symbol of the citys racial divide. Our jenny joyce is in center city this morning, at the Thomas Payne Plaza where the rizzo statue serves as a landmark, good morning, jenny. Good morning, thomas, there is one city leader in particular who is pushing for the removal of this statue. And thats councilwoman helen gym. She has a view of the statue from her fifth floor office across the street at city hall. She thinks that this statue of the former phillie mayor is outdated, and sends the wrong message. Frank rizzo served as a Police Commissioner and during his time in office boasted a tough on crime attitude. He had a turbulent relationship with the africanamerican and lgbt communities. In todays world, councilwoman gym and others feel that it is time to move on from that message, boldly sent from a prime location, Thomas Payne Plaza. Our Chris Oconnell also talk to rizzos grandson who point out you cant rewrite history, and says his grandfather did a lot for this city in the 70s and 80s. I understand that frank rizzo means a lot of Different Things to a lot of different people. But there is no question that for many, many philadelphians he is a symbol of racism, and a racist past that we are moving we are working very hard to try to move beyond. My grandfather has a lot of people that love him, white, black, everything. So im sure there is going to be a lot of people that arent happen which. That will they take that personally, they know my grandfather gave his life to the sit. Philadelphia was my grandfathers life. I dont think anyone will dispute that. The mayor jim kenney also agrees it is a good time to have a conversation about this statue. If it is decided that the statue should no longer stand front and center, the city says, it could go into a museum, while it doesnt necessarily represent the citys present it, does represent the citys history recalling you also mentioned three stories high frank rizzo mural thats in south philadelphia, we will talk about the status of the mural, what could potentially happen to the mural coming up at 4 30. Jenny, thank you. Helen game can see that out of heroin dough where she is on council. 4 09. A story you saw first here, fire commissioner talking about very controversial picture post today face bike by a firefighter.

Will it attract unwanted elements . How can this affect crime, traffic, kids . Many people like councilwoman cindy bass who represent the eighth district says opening the dispensary neuraxis g medical facility is a better idea than rid in the middle of a residential area. Yesterday concerned Community Members joined back, and other elected officials, for zoning board of adjustment meeting, to speak out. They did not come to the Immediate Community to talk to us. I believe theyve taken us absolutely for granted. Why dont you speak to the people who live around in the neighborhood . I dont want it here, no, i dont. As you can see, you know, our neighborhoods nice and peaceful, you know, we have children here, you know, a way of life is going to change as we know it. And not for the better. No, not for the better. It will be for the worse. Our facility will be extremely secure, so we hear the concerns of the community about previous crime rates. We believe that we will make the community more secure than it is now. We believe that we will create a lot of high paying jobs in the community.
