Organizers asked people to bring signs and prayers and stand in solidarity with the people of charlottesville. About 100 people turned out for the event. It was hosted by the Interfaith Council of contra costa count. The executive director says people attended the rally in virginia so its important to address the issue of racism in places like walnut creek. We hope it makes a difference here in walnut creek because we know that 25 of the people that live here voted for President Trump. And we want to be a part of the healing and restoration of community and neighborliness rather than the division. The council is encouraging people to help solve these divisions with acts of peace. Joining us now, ktvu political analyst brian sobel. The president has been criticized pretty strongly by member s of his own party over what happened in charlottesville. Were expecting more protests by white nationalists. Do you expect to see further divisions within the gop . What id expect first is the president is going to amp up his discussion of the issue. And when i think it probably will mirror what we heard today. The problem is when he had the opportunity on saturday to come out strongly, he fumbled the ball, frankly, and hes now got to recover from that. Reporter white house aide steve bannon and miller have been criticized for their alt right views. Do you think President Trump should continue letting them advise him or keep them in the white house . Its an optics question and i dont think its good to keep people in the white house who have sharp views on either side, especially far to the right or far to the left. I think hes got to take that in to account. His Approval Rating has dropped even further. Its down around 34 right now in the latest gallup poll. How do you think this is playing with the trump voter who maybe voted for him for economic reasons or other reasons besides these racist issues that obviously did attract for some reason people . One of the things to remember is among the polling that were seeing, the base isnt being moved a whole lot. Its the people who are fringe trump supporters. Theyve gone pretty quiet over the last couple of days quite frankly. How it plays with candidates will be interesting to see. Heres the reason. Trump was never a republican per se. He was a populist. He utilized the Republican Party as a vehicle to get to the presidency. He didnt have tremendous loyalty in congress by a lot of the republicans. Listen to lindsey graham. Lindsey graham has no time for donald trump. Frankly even during the campaign, when asked about Trumps International views, he called it gibberish. So he hasnt come very far to accepting President Trump. So i think thats going to be worth watching. Who follows republicans because they think it helps the president. Ktvu political analyst, brian sobel, thank you for joining us at this late hour. An employee at berkeleys top dog restaurant has quit his job after people recognized him at the charlottesville rally.

They went back, he brought his pickup back and had a rifle and shot a couple rounds at Highway Patrol. Reporter the supervisor, who is also a neighbor, said he warned caltrans there might be trouble.

Hes got a lot of issues going on. I wouldnt put much stock in that. Hes always got some kind of protest thing going on. Weve all been watching it. We go by here four, five times a day and see something new going on. Reporter all day his mother tried to help, and the threat of more gunfire.

They say the president s executive order to withhold federal funding could cost the city 28 million in federal funds. Its a low blow to our men and women who wear the badge for the federal government to threaten their Crime Fighting resources in order to force them to do the work of the federal government when it comes to immigration enforcement. We have a president bent on trying to vilify immigrants and punish cities who prioritize real effective Public Safety over splitting up families by falsely claiming that sanctuary cities are havens for criminals. Both beserra and herrera vow to fight the Trump Administration to the end, saying theyre in the Public Safety business, not the deportation business. Breaking news at this hour.
