the western hemisphere. it s a little bit of haiti in the mid-atlantic. and that brings me to the more important point, the modern republican party is in denial about the threat from right-wing and white supremacist terrorism. tucker carlson has called white supremacy quote a hoax. after a white nationalist killed 51 people at two mosques in new zealand in 2019, donald trump downplayed the problem, claiming it was just a small group of people. and, of course, we cannot forget charlottesville in 2017, when neo-nazis chanted, will jews not replace us, and other nazi slogans. and this was their then president s reaction. . you had a group on one side that was that, and yet a group on the other side that was also very violent. i think there is blame on both sides, and i have no doubt about it, and you don t have any doubt about it either. you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. in some cases, republicans have gone even further, playing footsie with far-right fig
six million wasn t enough. so this fascination and fetish with germany playing footsie with neo-nazis, praising hitler, this is outrageous. it s not only anti-semitic, it s anti-american and it s ignorant of history and it s fundamentally dangerous. i think mike s reporting about john kelly, who i had the pleasure of working with in the pentagon and jim stavridis also worked closely, the u.s. commander of u.s. southern command. those of white house worked with john kelly know he is highly credible, highly serious, and thank god he was there. i say thank god that he was there many times. thank good he was there in the oval office, because as this new reporting shows, trump wanted to be more authoritarian than the ultimate authoritarian in kim jong-un. he nearly took us to the brink of nuclear war. in 2017, north korea flight tested two icbms that could hit the united states. they have 30 to 50 weapons worth
