>> which brings me to charlottesville, virginia. the latest moment of national despair leaving the country in need of a consoler in chief. six candidates who ran against president trump for the republican nomination immediately called out white supremacy in the wake of the terror in charlottesville. it took three days and three tries for president trump who said this just a few hours ago. >> racism is evil. and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs. including the kkk, neo-nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans. we are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. >> the question now -- has president trump consoled the country or did a clear condemnation come too late? thank you for watching. "deadline: white house" with nicolle wallace starts right now.
