Virginia state police have made several arrests already moving to break things up after the city declared it an Unlawful Assembly. The governor has declared a staets state of emergency. And friday hundreds of White Supremacists marched carrying tiki torches and shouting white sli lives matter. I want to get to caylee harding, she was there for the whole thing. What is happening where you are now . Reporter well, boris, police have cleared Emancipation Park formerly known as lee park where robert e. Lee statue stands, the center of the controversy here. The police have pushed protesters down either end of market street, were hearing of them gathering in other places throughout this town. But that decision to their a state of emergency by the governor and to declare this gathering an Unlawful Assembly came after the violence we saw. Protesters on both sides spraying each other with pepper spray, there were smoke bombs, Water Bottles being thrown, flags with the poles being used as weapons. Really at times incredibly tense and violent demonstration. And what place to confederate monuments have in daiin daildtd is this this is the third demonstration the city has seen. But this one differ r different because of the violence. Because of the shear numbers of people that turned out today on both sides. Now, in previous rally, you would see counterprotests outnumbers protesters that dpts seem to be the days today. Thousands on hand here. And still marching through the streets. And as the governor mcauliffe declared a state of emergency, he tweeted acts and rhetoric are unacceptable and must stop. Weve learned that all scheduled events on the university of virginia campus have been canceled. As well as police trying no you to keep the peace on a very tense day in charlottesville. All right. Thank you. In a bit of aen o an odd twist, first lady is responding to the violence. Odd because they isnt exactly an elected official and shes the first voice that weve heard responding to this chaos from the white house. She sent out a tweet. Athena jones is in bedminster where the president is on a working vacation. Typically she doesnt get involved in pollpolitics, but ss the first voice commenting. What does she have to say . Reporter well, this is what First Lady Melania Trump tweeted. She said our country encourages freedom of speech, but lets communicate without hate in our hearts. No good comes from violence, charlottesville. But as you mentioned, i think we cannot stress enough how unusual it is to have the first lady be the First White House official to comment publicly on this. We see violence not just this morning, but also last night and yet we have not heard from the president himself, we have not heard from the Vice President. And we also havent heard from attorney general jeff sessions. Those are just some of the high level officials you would expect to heard respond to this sort of violence. Traditionally you have seen a president weigh into try to calm tensions, you could say a consoler in chief. Weve seen President Trump be campaigner in chief holding various rally, weve seen him take seriously the roll of commander in chief speaking oits sever out several time this is past week about the tensions of north korea and what is going on in venezuela. We have yet to see him play the role of consoler in chief. I and several of my colleagues have of course reached out to multiple white house officials looking for a response on this. We do expect to see the president at 3 00 p. M. When he signs a bill at his bedminster golf club. We expect the journalists there covering that event to be able to ask him questions about this and so we could still hear some response. Butter, this remember, this is president who tweets often and watch es a lot of cable television. These skirmishes have been on tv for the last several hours and we have yet to see him comment on twitter and this is very unusual. But we have heard from some other lawmakers, what did they tweet out . Reporter weve heard from multiple other officials including House Speaker paul ryan who tweeted the views fueling the spectacle in sma charlottesville are repugnant, let it only serve to unite americans. So in a similar tone to what we heard from the first ladies. We also heard from the chair woman of the Republican National committee putting out a republican of tweets some time ago talking about how the hate and bigotry on display in sha Charlotte Charlottesville is dangerous. Many people would like for heart president loudly speaking against it. So we know that during the campaign, president loudly speaking against it. So we know that during the campaign, candidate trump got a lot of support from altright leaders pc leaders. He was endorsed from david duke, and we heard him disavow these groups in afternoon interview soon after being elected with the New York Times saying he doesnt want to energize this sort of activity. We still though have yet to hear him speak today and that is what we are eagerly awaiting. We will keep our eyes peeled for when we get a response from the president himself. Thank you so much. We should tell you that the National Guard is on the scene in charlottesville, virginia. We want to bring in cedric lay t layton. What can the National Guard do to help calm the situation . One of the big things they can do, they can augment the Police Forces we already november that the Virginia State police are there, local sheriffs deputies as well as charlottesville police. And so what the National Guard does, it basically serves to emphasize the governors intent to not only keep the peace, but enforce the peace. And what they do is they begin to switch roles from a military organization to a Law Enforcement agency along the lines of the state police. But their powers of arrest are limited in a case like this. So what they can really help with is keeping the crowds under control, doing things like providing low ggistical support other agencies and can provide medical support should Law Enforcement agencies and other personnel actually be injured. Now, to be clear, youre a military analyst for cnn. Retired air force colonel. What is your take on it as an american . As an american, im sad anned by these kinds of events because the military is an institution of course that i grew up in. It is an institution that really 2k3 eve exemplifies the best traditions. And one of the big successes of the military is to intake integrate its forces. Event like this make it difficult to integrate a. They can create a negative force that is very dangerous for the country and of course for our instruments of national power. And it becomes really important for us to in essence speak with one voice to condemn the violence and to also make sure that people understand that while supremacy has absolutely no place in the military or in any other organization. These kinds of acts can have a spillover effect and military leaders, although they are not directly involved, have to be on their guard to prevent that from happening and poisoning the atmosphere in their units. Youve seen protests and difficult situations all over the world. In a situation like this where we saw some vie lefrns last nig night, we knew there would be count fer proceed he test tors. Should Law Enforcement have done more . Well, i think a barrier is always important phenomenon can really environments that are difficult situations. And one thing that the Law Enforcement has is an intelligence apparatus. They can use that toen tis pay the anticipate things. Barriers between groups are always important. It becomes incumbent upon local and state officials to make sure that they have adequate resources to contain protests like this. Everybody has right to protest, but the key thing is that it has to be peaceful and the Property Damage and damage to people in terms of injuries and deaths, that that has to be prevented and that is the primary job of Law Enforcement and now the National Guard in this situation.

The fact that the polo shirt wearing preppy neonazis do not have a place in charlottesville. They stand in the ugly legacy of their violent forbearers and this is absolutely reprehensible. And the fact of the matter is our president , president of the United States, must condemn the actions of these protesters. He has engaged in nuclear trash talk with pyongyang. Needs to condemn the Nuclear Mushroom cloud of hate hanging over charlottesville. This is not a moment for moral silence, this is not a moment for him to hide behind other issues. He needs to speak up and speak out and man up and call it out. Because the protesters in charlottesville receive their basic training, their marching orders so to speak and search their inspiration from the Trump Campaign rallies. This is the misbegotten fruit of what happened prior to the recent days and the president needs to call it for what it is. It is bigotry, antisemitism, racism and has no place in civil society. During the campaign, he did say that he disavowed david duke and these groups. You dont think that is enough . Absolutely not. When steve bannon is appointed as his adviser and a de facto office of legitimacy for the altright its created in the white house, when the president has been slow to condemn the bomb threats on you uyo jewish or the bombing of a mosque frgs wh , when he has been slow to speak against hate crimes, it has provided de facto encouragement of the hate crimes and the hate speech and the rise in racial an any mus animus of the country. Hes not commander in chief, he is the tone setter in chief. And in moments of crisis, people expect him, citizens expect him to speak up and to speak out. And right now, thus far weve not heard one word from our commander in chief. What do you make of the fact that we first heard from the first lady instead of the president and it seems that shes not an elected official, it doesnt seem like she would be the first voice that we should hear from the white house after something as vile as this takes place . That is precisely it. While we appreciate the words from the first lady, the first lady was not elected commander in chief. The first lady was not laekts e president of these United States. So this is basically a rhetorical shell game where we had the first lady delivering a muted message as opposed to the president delivering a strong clear message against hate, antisemitism and racism in charlottesville, virginia. So we need him to speak up and speak out even if it means fracturing and cracking his base. This socalled amount riltriglo place in American Society. And we need to be clear about this. The violence that weve seen a rise in hate crime that we have seen is an ugly harbinger of what is to come if were not carefully. If we do not have a president and let me note this an attorney general who is willing to speak out on this. The fact of the matter is this is a dangerous situation. Charlottesville is a wonderful community. It is university of virginia is an extra ordinary institution of higher learning. But both are being tarnished and stained by the bigotry in our midst. And sir, very quickly as these cities move to continue to disassemble these statues and symbols of the confederacy, do you think this is going to be a continuing issue with these white sue spremipremacipremacis people in the street . Im not sure if the bringing down of confederate statues is emboldening the socalled altright. Or rather is there is a larger phenomenon in American Society that has been encouraged and inspired by the Trump Campaign . The fact of the matter is this is not nearly about the removal of a statue, this is about the emboldening of the most ugly forces in our society into the bigotry, racism, antisemitism. So we cant blame the fact we have people who want to bring down these monuments to a past that should actually be passed, that is to say the confederacy. The Confederate Forces loss, we need to get over that. We thank you for the time, sir. The president just tweeted about this. There it is on your screen. He write, quote, we all must be united and could not dem all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in america. Lets come together as one. It goes the first that weve heard from the white house after the events in charlottes i would have. Mr. Brooks, if you are still with us, id like to get your response to this tweet. Im heartened of a tweet by the president , that is certainly a commendable microscopically small step. But the president needs to speak out with the same moral vigor and force that hes spoken about with korea. He does not need to see this as something that can be dispatched or dismissed with a tweet. And more to the point the president has to model the kind of behavior that we need to see the streets of our seethe ci se cities and towns. Even each time racism rears its ugly head, he has to speak out in policy and words to confront it. So a tweet is fun for what it is, but it is only a tweet. Let us though. We have a president who is a prolific tweeter. He uses tweet quite often. At all hour of the day and night. So lets be clear. Having neonazis fighting in the streets of shallo lcharlottesvi be mets with moral force which is sift sufficient for the cause. And that means he has to speak out vigorously and consistently. This is not a moment, a twitter moment or a moment in a news cycle. But, rather, an ugly chapter in American History unfolding as we speak. And so the president can start with pa twea tweet, but he need follow up with more words and most importantly more policy. Take means he has to model what we need on our streets. And certainly similar charlottes vilt. We thank you again for the time. We want to go to athena jones in new jersey where the president is having a work vacation. Athena, we finally heard from the president. Reporter thats right. He said we must all be united and condemn what that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in eamerica. Lets come together as one. This is after we heard from Melania Trump, being the first highnonelected official to speak out. And we also heard before the president s tweet, we heard from his assistant to the president on Homeland SecurityThomas Bossert also talking about the hate is unacceptable, protests must not undermine law and order, confidence in state and local Law Enforcement. We could hear more from the President Trump a couple hours from now, were expecting toed to see him at a bill signing at 3 00 at his golf club. But of course this is something getting attention not just for several hours, when you albut a night. We know he tweets often about matters large and small, so there was a lot of concern and consternation about the fact that the president hasnt yet weighed in on the violence that were seeing on the streets in charlottesville. Of course we know president s have traditionally had to play the role of consoler in chief after a national tragedy, after a mass shooting. And certainly in the face of this sort of violent protests and these confrontations between White Nationalists and the counter demonstrations. Its notable given the fact that hit trump did get a lot of support from the altright and from White Supremacists during the campaign. After he was laerkt elected he disavowed those groups. This is one of the additional reason that is there has been stop focus on the fact that we did not hear from the president for so long, but we have heard via twitter and well be watching for see what more reaction we get from the white house, from the attorney general and any others.

Valentines dpresident trumd in tweeting this, tweeting we all must be united and condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in america. Lets come together as one. But that tweet came after his name was invoked by white supremacist david duke who was at that demonstration in charlottesville and said this. Listen. What does today represent to you . This represents a turning point. We are determined to take our country back. We will fulfill the promises of donald trump. Thats what we believed in, thats why we voted to donald trump because he said he will take our country back and thats what we have to do. Im joined by brian fallon and also jack kingston. Jack, first to you. What is your response to david duke saying that, that the events of today are fulfilling President Trumps promise to take america back . I think hes misconstrued the president s promise. The promise wants economic and military strength, he wants to give everybody to a. Chance to participate in the American Dream and this is something that all republicans and democrats and independents should agree on. David duke is also a reliable sound bite and i understand how he may be used against a Certain Party of philosophy, but when he endorsed the president , the president did denourns his endorsement, so i think he made it clear i think frankly the people saying why hasnt the president spoken up, i dont think that is a big issue here. I think the president hasnt spoken up, maybe he didnt do it at 8 00 a. M. This morning, but i did not hear the same antitrump critics saying the same thing on may 10th or in may when black lives marries with ten arrests in ladies and gentlemen just a couple monthsi ina ago. With all due respect, they werent people like david duke saying this is Donald Trumps promise fulfilled. Does the president have an obligation to put even more distance between himself and some of these folks who are clearly White Supremacists and his supporters . Well, lets put it in perspective. And i understand this is a political opportunity for the left to say got cha, but there is no parallel. David duke is a guy that is out there. You cant blame the orlando terrorists who murdered i cant remember how many people in the night club his father came to Hillary Clinton rally, you cant blame his taattendanc on Hillary Clinton. You cant choose your supporters. David duke can say something, but i think the president made it clear last year when david duke endorsed him that mr. Trump did not want his endorsement. Brian, your response to mr. King son. I find the president s tweet to be pretty generic, but i think its meaningful that it took him long to issue that milquetoast three line statement. You didnt hear from help last night after the torch literally. We didnt hear from him for several hours this morning and the same reasons that you havent heard him from condemning the bombing of the mosque. He cultivated them during the campaign, even before the campaign quite famously. During the campaign, he would fr free really the only difference between these latter k day demonstrators that you saw and kkk of all is now they feel for smam shame and they dont even wear hoods any more because donald trump has taken the movement mainstream. And do you know how many protests versus proceed tors . Protest are only one person has been arrested whereas in the black lives matter in may, 10 were arrested. And west coast proceed tes, there were hundreds arrested. So i think the left is just desperately looking for an issue here. And if they can drive a wedge between africanamericans and the republican party, they will take advantage of it at every moment they can. But there is no case there. I frankly hope that the president was in meetings this morning focusing on north korea because i think the you are against city of that and the severity is far greater than what is going in charlottesville. I know Terry Mcauliffe has declared it an emergency, but why snisnt he charlottesville . Where is Chuck Schumer . I was going to ask you why are we hearing from Melania Trump before we hearing from the president about this. Ites possible that the president fwhaus a north korea meeting. I dont know where the president was, but i think Melania Trump weighing in there, she is using the power of the bully pulpit, she has strong following of her own. But where are the Democratic Leaders of that state that tim kaine is their senator . He was a democrat Vice President candidate. Whycharlottesville right now in. You know he like you, but this is pathetic. Its not pathetic. You saw democrats spill out last night. And one of the problems that we have to address is the attempt to put euphemisms to this movement. Weve talked now for several months about the altright movement and now there is this other movement trying to spring up and call its the aml light. You see the nazi flags. Urine thrown at member chof the press. Just because they are dressed up in button down shirts, we shouldnt think that they are any less intolerable than the old kkk and neo that nazi movem. There is a reason that david duke is there today and lets call out the groups trying to pretends that they are ironic and just pro western. They are hate filled groups just the same. You have groups like the proud boys. So lets hear from the founder of the proud boys who tries to say its just a game. [ everybody talking at once ] gentlemen, were limit order time. Jack, a very brief response. I just want to see the democrat leadership of that state two u. S. Senators and the governor, i want to see them in charlottesville pulling people together. And i can tell that you Republican House members are join in that effort. I stand with brian, lets condemn the hatred, but also let get reconciliation and the only way it is to work together. Will you condemn Richard Spencer . Ive never heard the guy, but ill condemn him if thats all the bad things that you say. But lets [ everybody talking at once ]. A spirited conversation.

At this hour, charlottesville, virginia, is under a state of emergency after violence broke out at a White Nationalist rally there. State police say theyve made several arrests, and the president has tweeted out, quote, we all must be united and condemn all that hate stands for. Lets bring back cnn military analyst and retired air force colonel cedric layton. Kernel, you watched some of this unfold earlier today. Whats your take on what happened there . Well, boris, i think what we saw is, you know, two groups, two basic groups in American Society not agreeing on some basic aspects of our history. And when you look at that, that obviously has social implications, it has political implications and it has implications for our daily lives. And when you see what happened here, it becomes very hard for people to reach a common understanding and a common agreement. But the thing that happens is Society Makes progress, Society Makes progress in several different ways. And one of them is in some cases to do away with some symbols of our history and bring in others. All of it is part of our collective history. The question is which part of it do you want to emphasize. And i think thats the clash that were seeing played out here. And unfortunately its not just a verbal clash, its also a physical clash. Yeah, and after Something Like this plays out, how likely is it that we could see investigations . A lot of people on camera doing some very heinous things. Absolutely. So there will be two types of investigations, i think, in a case like this, boris. What youll see is theyll go after people that show up in camera footage that has happened as a course of the events from last night and from today. So those will be kind of the tactical investigations that happen. If the Law Enforcement community is really looking for this the way i think they should, they will take some of the investigations that the fbi and some other Law Enforcement agencies have done and bring those together with what happened last night and today in charlottesville, and they will then hopefully be able to figure out exactly who is behind this. Perhaps there will be charges filed against those who committed acts of violence, those that incited people to riot, things of that nature. And of course those who are getting back to the tactical aspect, those who actually caused physical damage, they could be in a heap of trouble because of some of the investigations that will be carried out as a result of this. Sir, as we mentioned when you were on with us earlier, youve seen a lot of unrest and protest all over the world. Would you say the Law Enforcement response here was adequate . We heard earlier in the day from cnn Law Enforcement analyst Charles Ramsey who was asking in this video of people brawling in the middle of the street, where are the police. Do you think they did enough . You know, im beginning to think they didnt do enough. There are clearly reports out there and that video that you mentioned that im sure the police were either standing by and doing nothing and letting people beat each other up, which is unacceptable. You dont let that happen nowadays. This is not, you know, the days of the caveman. And we have to make sure that Law Enforcement is there to protect all citizens from violence. And when theyre standing there doing nothing and they could get involved, that becomes a real problem. So i think they have to look at it at what point do they intervene, was intervention adequate enough, was it a type of intervention that was proportionate to the issue at hand, was it too little, was it too much. Right now we have no reports of it being too much, but again, thats something that has to be examined. So when you look at this, you know, how u. S. Police agencies handle this, how different local jurisdictions handle it and compare it to what goes on around the world, there are definitely different techniques and procedures that are used. In europe, police are much more likely to be tougher on protesters, they use things like water cannon and use those in a way that tends to disburse crowds. In the u. S. We tend to use techniques like that but not as frequently as some of the european agencies do. Colonel cedric leighton, again, we appreciate your perspective and for you sticking with us throughout the day. Thank you, again, sir. In just an hour from now the president will be signing the Veterans Affairs choice employment act of 2017.
