lee and stonewall jackson. the robert e. lee statue was the center of the unite the right rally nearly two weeks ago that led to violent crashes between far right and counterprotestors. president trump talked about the removal of these statues at his rally in phoenix last night. in the proud tradition of america s great leaders, from george washington, please don t take his statue down, please. please. does anybody want george washington s statue? no. is that sad? is that all sad? to lincoln, to teddy roosevelt, i see they want to take teddy roosevelt s down too. they re trying to figure out why. they don t know. they re trying to take away our culture. they re trying to take away our history. and our weak leaders, they do it over night. these things have been there for 150 years, for 100 years.
trump was asked if he wants mitch mcconnell to step down because he kept badgering him on twitter over and over again for not repealing and replacing the affordable care act, or for not doing enough to do so. right after that happened, a lot of republican senators came out in favor of mitch mcconnell, saying he was a great person, he was a great leader, and he was doing the right thing. so i think we re seeing whose side they re going to choose. go ahead. let s not forget the personal here also. speaking of that trump tower press conference, it was his wife, elaine chow, who works in the president s cabinet, who was there as part of the picture standing next to him when he went off to start equating neo-nazis and kkk members with members of the counterprotestors in charlottesville. there is elaine chow standing there having to endure that and come back and take questions from reporters and she s sort of put in the position where she says, i stand by both my men. i am sure that did
and during that press conference, trump made those comments equating the kkk with the neo-nazis, white supremacists with those counterprotestors. and we heard privately that mitch mcconnell was offended by those reports as well and they did not sit well with him. he doesn t agree with a lot of things trump says, it s becoming clear. it could potentially play out tonight in arizona. we ll be watching this huge reelection rally that the president will be participating in later tonight. but republicans under jeff flake, he s not going to be there. john mccain is undergoing radiation, another republican senator. he won t be there. but kelli ward will be there. kelli ward is challenging jeff flake for the republican senator nomination, and the senate majority leader has released this ad defending jeff flake. they really want jeff flake to

the art of the deal with real estate was he understood the terms you were negotiating on. he doesn t seem to have grasped that on health care and he doesn t seem to be getting that on tax reform either. if he doesn t get immersed in that, i don t see how he can get it done even with a republican congress. all right. always grateful to have your voice in this. thank you. thank you. all right. let s take it to berlin. moments ago we got some video here, of neo-nazis and counterprotestors facing off here. appear to be a bit of a scuffle here with police, but this did not last long. nothing like what we saw in charlottesville last week. it was quickly separated. and the nazis there, you see here, the police kind of pushing some people along. the nazis there are marking the anniversary of the death of rudolf hess, who was adolph hitler s deputy. hess was killed rather killed himself in prison. it was about 30 years ago. police are not taking any chances. we know they are quick to th
