President trump on a rampage against reporters during a press briefing this evening all over the continued fallout from his comments in the aftermath of charlottesville. You say the alt right. Define alt right to me. You define it. Define it for me. Come on are lets go. Senator mccain defined them as the same groups,. What about ex excuse me what about the alt left that came charging as the alt right . Do they have any semblance of guilt . Let me ask you this. What about the fact they came charging with clubs in their hands swinging clubs. Do they have any problem . I think they do. As far as im concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day. Wait a minute. Im not finish. Im not finished fake news. That was a horrible day. The president under fire because some said his initial comments didnt specifically call out the white supremacist groups behind the rally over the weekend. All of those people excuse me, ive condemned neonatzis. Ive condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neonatzis, believe me. Not all of those people were White Supremacists by any stretch. Reporter reporters grilled the president about defending those who showed up at the park in charlottesville to protest the removal of a statue of general robert e. Lee. This week its robert e. Lee. I noticed that stone wall jackson coming down. I wonder is it George Washington next week . And is it Thomas Jefferson the week after . You know you real particularly do have to ask yourself where does it stop. Reporter the president pushed back arguing blame for the weekend violence should be placed on the left who came to app pose the nationalist protester. You had a group on one side, you had a group on the other they came at each other with clubs and it was vicious and horrible and it was horrible thing to watch. There is another side. There was a group on this side, you can call them the left. Youve just called them the left, that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want. But thats the way it is. Youre changing history. Youre changing culture and you had people and im not talking about the neonatzis and White Nationalist because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neonatzis and White Nationalist. Okay . And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also you had some fine people but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with the blackout fits and with helmets and with the baseball bats. You had a lot of bad people in the other group, too. Reporter well many on both sides its aisle still cant believe what happened. Gop leaders from House Speaker paul ryan, senator john mccain and others jumping to make clear there is a difference between the groups and those standing up to them. And so speaker ryan tweeting we must be agree clear write smell massey is repulsive this bigotry is counter to all this country stands for. There can be no moral ambiguity. The white house has continue toddy fenn the president s reaction to the violence in charlottesville. Iain. Shawnette, thanks.

They want to rewrite history, they want to reinvent history and make my grandfather out to be this racist. I know he wasnt. Joe is frank rizzos grandson he worries what might happen if the statue is removed. Thats potentially harmful situation for lots of people and its completely unnecessary. Reporter rizzo isnt even safe on his home turf any more. We learn the mural art process correct is also considering removing the threestory mural of rizzo from south philadelphias italian market.
