the country at the end of the day. and you mentioned the president, cornell. yes. i want to read you what he wrote this weekend in relationship no the rallies. he writes that the rye yats in charlottesville a year ago resulted in senseless death and division. we must come together. i condemn all acts of violence and peace to the all americans. and what does that mean when the president says all types of racism. this is the president engaging in a false pseudo moral equivalence, and when he is condemning all types of racism, he is suggesting all sides, and what i mean by that is that when he is condemning all kinds of racism, it is like saying that all bigots are equally dangerous. all bigotry is equally bad, but not all bigots are equally dangerous, and that is to the say that white supremists, ku klux klansmen and neo-nazis are uniquely dangerous, and point one. point two, when he is suggesting that violence and i should say
with the bandanas and the gas masks and they are just getting word here that the white supremists is not here, and so this is an interesting dynamic, ana, to see what happens from here. the weather is a factor, too, and some of the people just don t want to stay out in the driving rhinain and some of the are hanging tough to get the message out. this is maybe one of the crucial moments in the day-long protest where people might converge back into the area or they might disperse. brian todd, thank you for keeping us apprised of the o one-year anniversary, and one year since the deadly rally that happened in charlottesville, virginia. and meanwhile, sara sidner track ed down a kk member who was convicted for shooting a gun in into the air. the language is appalling and the language is disturbing, but the story is remarkable if only for who has befriend ed this
