He is now formally calling out the hate groups. It comes after his initial response was criticized by both sides of the aisle as being vague. Today he was more clear saying the kkk, neonazi and white supremacist have no place in america. Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs including the kkk, neonazi, white supremacist and other hate groups that are repug nnant to everything we hold dear as americans. The president met today and promising anyone who broke the law will be held accountable. Some are saying this is a little bit too late and too little. Words do matter and they were carefully selected. Supporters would say this is an extension of what we heard on saturday. If you look at trump opponents saying he ducked it on saturday.

We have seen an up tick or two or three or something of this country. A National City out of San Bernardino finds if you go to the mainstream cities, hate crimes has gone up 20 . And in california, the department of justice finds that recently over the last year when it comes to race related hate crimes up 21 . So here in california, just as much as national park. A different tone from how he talks about international events, is there a difference here if you are talking about it. Interesting that he was quick to say a lot about islamic fundamentalism. But when there was a mosque bombinged last week, he said nothing. When we see hate crime here over the last year, he said nothing about the two. Is it a double standard . Some would say that. He is talking differently here than he would international. Thank you for being with us. Thank you, larry. A san jose woman is back in the bay area tonight after witnessing the rally.
