nationalists with their tiki torches. the aim, they say, tonight is to reclaim it and cover it with love and peace. i want to bring in my panel now. gloria, president trump and his administration has been relatively mum since the presser yesterday, and today with all the fallout, we re hearing the president saying himself is without regret. frankly, for all the criticism by some republicans, nobody in this administration seems to be resigning in protest. a lot of the criticism suspect even using his name. no. you know, they re not resigning in protest. there are reports that they are privately upset. there are some republicans who have called him out by name, but not a majority of them. and look, this is a president who has no regrets. he lives in the world of no regret, because he never admits he makes a mistake. so he can t regret it. he didn t regret his remarks
counter-protesters, police say, quote, will not intervene until given command to do so. right, which was unattributed. i mean, this is part i mean, we all pay a lot of attention to tweets. we can have a longer conversation about the fact that so much of not just dialogue but government in our country seems to be driven by what you can put in 140 characters. that was an unattributed tweet. has the president called you or have you heard from him in any way? he has not. i got a call on saturday that he was going to call, and an aide was in touch with me and said that i should expect a call and that never came. and i was asked on monday, sitting down with our congressman here, asked if i would take a call from the president. i said, of course, of course, i would, and still have not signr time. thank you. yesterday, drew griffin spoke with someone who called himself a white advocate. what this man said was very
