violence. so you know, when they chose to go to charlottesville, for example, it was because they knew they had political opposition in charlottesville, and the purpose of targeting a city like charlottesville or portland, oregon, is to draw out that political opposition so they can attack them. that was something that law enforcement understood and didn t tolerate in the 1990s, and that s the biggest change that these what we used to call anti-government militias were actually on the side of government over the last four years. and that created an ability for them to more successfully merge with mainstream society. yeah, and i really take your point, mike, in terms of this is an old tactic. these are things that have always happened, even, you know, 100 years ago when there were threats, it seems like the government focused their attention on civil rights activists and, you know, people
i could not understand how in the world republicans could be so adamantly opposed to this man trying to get attention to the cause of the plights of blacks. i couldn t understand it. and i know you also mentioned the way he handled baltimore was deeply troubling to you. he s actually there tonight. that s why i bring it up, gregory, when he made those comments about you, he was on his way to baltimore. right. he s there as we speak. of course, this is the first time he s been to baltimore since he said that congressman cummings district is a disgusted rat and rodent mess, that s the quote he said. right. what was that moment so important to you? and i know you mentioned col lip kaepernick. but that moment when he did they tweet on baltimore, more than other things, like charlottesville, for example. well, yeah, with the eleej ja coupling, that was pretty much one of the straws that broke the proverbial camel s back.

organized by leftist groups and trump chimes in and says maybe the dems are a part of it. just trump says that they have intercepted many people from the middle east. good ones and bad ones kind of like charlottesville, maybe. trump officials spoken with individuals who concern them but he offered no proof that terrorists are in the caravan. you are not trying to stoke fears to dry up your base? no, he says, he said he is not a politician. he said this election, this midterm is about kavanaugh and caravan. the politics of fear that is what this is. i report to you with certainty this afternoon. with any place in my mind that that s what s happening. that is what is happening. you are not required to believe it i understand the state of affairs in america. but that is what s happening. and there will come a day when the truth wins out. it always does. he said a possible putin meeting is being worked on
