What about the alt left . Do they very in semblance of gift . What trump did today was a moral disgrace. What i just saw gave me the wrong kind of chills. I have too much eye makeup on to start crying. Its disgusting. The leaders will have to distance themselves from the president. The question is how do they get back together. You look at both sides. Theres blame on both sides and i have no doubt about it and you dont have any doubt about it either. Diplomacy seems to be winning out. Whether they escalate or deescalate the rhetoric, the capability remains. Rescue workers are still searching for victims who may be under the debris. The hope is to be able to find any one of them alive. In portugal a fatal accident. A tall tree falling into a crowd.

I think first thing you do is dont burn bridges. On cbs this morning. When the president was asked about his embattled strategist steve bannon, he gave a vote about something. I like him. Hes a good man. Hes not a racist, i can tell you that. Its the third thing someone says about you unprompted is hes not a racist . Youve got a problem. Willielcome to cbs this morning. Crews in baltimore took down four monuments overnight including a prominent statue of generals robert e. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Other cities around the country are removing their confederate memorials. Julianna goldman is in baltimore. Julianna, good morning. Good morning. People have been driving by this morning honking and cheering. One other car passed by yelling out the window. Stinking communists. They passed a resolution on monday to strike down four confederate statues across the city. A number of people gathered at the robert e. Lee and Stonewall Jackson statue behind me was lifted off its base. Larry hogan said he would push to remove a former court justice. It appears another that was removed overnight was that statue. And in alabama they worked to cover the soldiers and sailors monument. And you have North Carolina where the states governor says he wants to bring down confederate monuments from around the state anything on public property and then in lexington, kentucky, the county voted to move forward with a proposal to relocate two statues from the city. Gayle, a recent cataloging from the Southern Poverty Law Center counted 718 confederate statues across the country. You can bring that number down to 714. Thank you very much, julianna. President trump said he was right the first time about the protest in charlottesville. His review and criticism is drawing an avalanche of condemnation. He backed off mondays statement denouncing white supremacist groups. Instead he repeated his original response from saturday and asked whether left wing counterdemonstrators have any amount of guilt. House Speaker Paul Ryan wrote on twitter, we must be clear, White Supremacy is repulsive. Marco rubio wrote. And john mccain wrote there is no normal but david duke thanked the president for his honesty and courage to tell the truth about charlottesville. Margaret brennan is in studio 57. She was at trump tower yesterday trying to get a question to the president and he was lobbing one back at you. Margaret, good morning. Good morning. Well, President Trumps caught all the senior officials by surprise as he put himself in the politically complicated opinion of appearing to defend the altright, a coalition of conservative and fringe groups. I think theres blame on both sides. Reporter in a Tense Exchange with reporters a frustrated President Trump lashed out, doubling down on his initial ee kwiv cal statement that both sides were to blame for charlottesville violence. You had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent, and nobody wants to say that. Reporter growing increasingly combat ichb we the press, mr. Trump appeared to defend the group that organized the white rally. Ive condemned neonazis. Ive condemned a lot of groups. But not all of those groups were neonazi, believe me. Not all of them were supremacists. This week its robert e. Lee. I wonder is it president jefferson next week . He asked for a call to denounce attacks on the white house staff. You mean senator mccain who voted against us getting good health care. And he went on to say those on the far left and the altright are ee dually at fault. Senator mccain defined them what about the old left excuse me. What about the altleft that came charging at the altright. Do they have any semblance of guilt . As the president spoke, his new chief of staff john kelly stood to the side with his head down. The limits to kellys ability to keep the president on message were laid bare as mr. Trump defended his original statement on the rally. I brought it. I brought it. Reporter which avoided condemning the White Supremacists that spoke his name. The first statement is a fine statement, but you dont make statements that direct unless you know the facts. He condemned the driver who rammed his car into protesters and kill third degree 2yearold heather heyer. You can call it terrorism, call it murder, you can call it whatever you want. The drive bhiernld the car is a murderer, and what he did is a horrible, horrible inexcusive thing. The white house is asking allies to help defend mr. Trump, and weve seen the talking points. They urge supporters to say the president is a voice for unity and calm and to say that counterprotesters were equally as violent as the armed white nationalists. Margaret, this press conference or q and a was completely unexpected. But i want to discuss yo about this. Standing by his side were gary cohen and steve mnuchin, his treasury secretary who are both jewish. Does his statement perhaps put pressure on some of the aides about their future inside the white house . Well, this is as you say people of great stature, reputation with long careers, and you can see particularly in fwar cohens face as he looked out at our faces to see what we were doing as he had a sense of what was happening in that room because you could feel how frustrated and how angry the president was. Everyone was really sort of taken aback by that. But what was also amazing was this quick turnaround. Right after that, the president got in the elevator, and elaine chao and the press secretary came town and tried to answer questions about infrastructure. This is what its supposed to be about. He took it totally off script and put them in an odd position having to answer questionsing neonazis. They were there to answer questions about roads and bridges. He said, jews will not replace us in very loud tones and then to come out and support them was very upsetting to a lot of people watching that. Its something were so not used to. But as you say, this particular set of issues is just so inflammatory that to go off script carries a lot of danger with it. Thanks margaret. Thank you, margaret. We want to factcheck the president s statement that both sides are responsible for the violence in charlottesville. Video shows them fighting with each other. The white supremacist side seemed to be more prepared. Good morning. Good morning. The rally had. Even started whelp clashes broke out in the parking lot. Its Clear Elements of both sides showed up for a fight. Not all of those people were neonazis, believe me. Saturdays rally in charlottesville was one o the largest gathering of White Supremacists in more than a decade. They were armed with guns and batons and racist symbols. The counterprotesters were overwhelmingly unarmed but there were those who used shields and sticks and clashed with White Supremacists, but they were largelied you numbered that you had a frup on the other side who came in charging without a permit, and they were very, very violent. James fields jr. Who traveled from ohio to join the neonazis was behind the wheel when Counterprotester Heather Heyer was run over and killed. And a man received several stitches. They warned of the persistent threat of lethal violence from White Supremacists who were responsible for 49 homicides, more than any other extremist movement. Yesterday the president insisted the pictures didnt tell the whole story. They looked leak they had rough bad people. Neonazis, white nationalists, whatever you want to call them. I will tell you this. There are two sides of the story. For comparison t last White Supremacists rally had a few dozen kkk members and a thousand protesters. Charlie . Chief analyst John Dickerson is with us this morning. Good morning, john. God morning, charlie. What do you think about the message from the president and the challenges . The message from the president the last few days is the racist rallies were wrong but at the same time he talked about the counterprotesters. The thing people are left with is the president s reputation and bluntness and the powerful force he speaks about big truth but doesnt spend so much time on the facts didnt seem to be so worked about up the big truth that you had neonazi and White Supremacists protesting. This a lack of proportion when the ideas are a direct threat and on session to the Founding Fathers of the principles to which he leads. You have republicans coming out criticizing the president for seeming to not denounce david dukes support. What do you make of the implications of that, john . For republicans in particular they have to distance themselves from the president and the question is whether this issing in that can be repaired because the has now spoken twice on this issue and has not met the moment. And you have particularly for republicans, they will always be faced with being asked about this. Anybody who makes remarks that can be received improvingly by imperial wizard of the kkk david duke is just somebody that republicans cant embrace. And so how do you work on infrastructu infrastructure, for example . Democrats are not going to be able to vote on anything supported by the president who seemed ready to keep fight about this to the exclusion of all else. John, do we expect people working for the president at the highest level say this has gone too far, i cannot stand for this, and i have to leave the administrati administration . It is a new challenge for those people because its both the specifics of the case which is the lack of a blunt and clear message about thoroughly objectionable ideas, but then its also about chaos and lack of control in a white house and whether you want to continue being toward that. Its in siege moment, and so its not going to get much better. John dickerson, thank you for joining us this morning. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson said the u. S. Is still interested in a dialogue with north korea, but its um to kim jongun to make that happen. Thousands of people took to the streets. They demanded a peaceful solution to north korea. Ben tracy is there with people who want President Trump to tone down his rhetoric. Good morning. Reporter good morning. People in seoul are used to dealing with a north korean threat but theyre increasingly worried about this sparring match and that it could actually lead to an actual war and they could pay the price, but now it looks like both sides are treeing to find a way to speak a bit more constructively. If north korea ended seemingly endless barrage of missile tests, washington says its willing to negotiate with pyongyang, especially after kim jongun decided to withhold setting off missiles. Wed like to hold talks with them when theyre serious. Serious toward denuclearization. We havent seen that yet. All sides seem to be obvious. This is the border between south and north korea. Just over there, north korea has thousands of pieces of artillery pointed at the south. Its estimated if they were to release those, 64,000 people would die in south korea on the first day. The u. S. Said they would have to abon don their weapons entirely before they would begin talks. There was some effort, i think, to recognize north koreas security curbs and sort of meet them halfway. Reporter john delury is a professor of international studi studies. Theyll take that. I think things like a summit with donald trump and the selfie between these two zoord figures is the kind of thing theyd be interested in. Reporter china and russia have floated a plan where they would freeze missiles. While the u. S. Says thats a nonstarter in those military exercises will take place as planned next week here in seoul.
