meeting before the counterprotest to today s neo-nazi and white supremacist rally. they stormed the meeting in the dead of night wielding tiki torches, looking like tough villagers but a little sort of an interesting choice there. former media consultant for breitbart.com. what do you make of what you re seeing including violence against clergy in charlottesville, virginia, right now? this is about the most un-american thing you could ever see. it s disgusting. there s not even words to adequately describe what it feels like to watch something like this happen. in america, in 2017 and a lot is the symptom of what we see pages like breitbart, the rhetoric of donald trump having people like sebastian and steve bannon in the white house. these people think their side won in this election. they think it s okay now to come on out of hiding. they don t need the white sheets over their heads. they can walk in the middle of the downtown street and advance
medal to the president s inauguration. that is disgusting. we never would have tolerated that and we can disagree. i disagree with my own party on some issues, but we never would have had any of this in the bush white house and these people need to be fired immediately and this is breitbart news. breitbart news is a racist organization and it needs to acknowledge as such, they should not be given preferential access to the white house which is what they re now getting under steve bannon and once again, bannon needs to be fired, sebastian gorca and the rest of the fascists or we have to remove this president. our democracy depends on it and talking about president bush or hillary clinton and trying to compare this, that is a completely inappropriate comparison to what really is a serious threat to our democracy in 2017.
the council on foreign relations, former media consultant for breitbart.com. and former chief white house lawyer president george w. bush, i m going to start with you. you ve been tweeting about this and pretty strong words for those out there. if you could reiterate those for the audience. well, this is very similar to what happened in germany in the early 1930s. this is the face of fascism in the united states. and it is directly the responsibility of this administration in the bhous. i ve been a republican for 30 years but we are the party of abraham lincoln and george w. bush, ronald reagan. we are not the party of fascism in america and we are going to have to reject this. we need to demand today that president trump fires sebastian gorca, steve ban nonon and all
you know, constant stories about terrorists or immigrants are raping everyone and creating drug problems and somehow they re the problem with every single thing that we have that s going wrong for white america in this country? it s pointed and targeted right at immigrants and right at diversity. and that s the type of platform that breitbart is. that s the type of rhetoric coded or not that you ve seen from donald trump, from the policies that they try to advance, the america first is really code for white first. it was another slogan used by pro nazi organizations in the 1930s. max, this is a blatantly anti-se mettic movement. people don t even mention linked to betezzi ran. he s got a job in the white house. no question, a lot of
person has now been fired. hr mcmaster trying to clean these people out of government. the memo, it s deranged. shocking someone to think like this could possibly be hired for the national security council but he was hired by mike flynn and it s taken six months for hr mcmaster to be able to get rid of him because people like this are protected from the senior echelons from trump and bannon and so forth. it reads like something out of an insane asylum. or breitbart.com. but this feeds into the conspiratorial mindset donald trump himself had. this is a guy who came to national prominence by saying barack obama forged his birth certificate and a massive conspiracy to cover this up? and claim that ted cruz s father was involved in the kennedy assassination. i mean, this plays into donald trump s mindset. and remember, any white house is a reflection of the guy at the top and sadly, this is reflective of a major element of donald trump. absolutely. all right, so i just want to let
