violence if necessary to get their way in an election and so it feels like we re kind of going that direction. yeah, i think that was one of the things that terrified me about brian about your reporting was that link and also how they were organizing and organizing under the radar because that very much models exactly what we were saying both how january 6th was organized, how charlottesville was organized. so when we have seen these very scary right wing white supremacists neo nazi or factious organizing usually in some collision of underground communication to organize violence and the pattern and connections are scarily reminiscing of january 6th. the kind of place that the
heather heyer. the young woman killed in the charlottesville violence. her mother spoke movingly. i think the reason that what happened to heather has struck a cord is because we know that what she did is achievable. we don t all have to die. we don t all have to sacrifice our lives. they tried to kill my child to shut her up. well, guess what? you just magnified her. i want to bring in pastor harold bear, the pastor of covenant church who spoke at the services. sad moment but it was good to see her smile today and good to see you smile as well. speaker after speaker described
her mother shared that she had attended several times. our church is very blended. more than 20 nations on a sunday. in fact i was reading about you, don and i see you have a nigerian cong leze background. you ve been doing your research and i like that you said you have a blended background. it s just sort of the opposite of what s been portrayed, how charlottesville has been portrayed when you look at these awful, awful white supremacists and the clashes that happened in your town. what do you say to the folks who are watching? i say to them they don t know the real charlottesville. this is a terrific place to live. i had in my heart as a young man to be a missionary and the lord set me here and i feel i m a very fortunate pastor, don. i don t feel we can talk
after afterwards, we did see a gun when we first walked in. afterwards is when he started taking out guns from different parts of his body. it was scary and telling, i think. these were the very nice people. very fine people the president described who were marching peacefully through the streets of charlottesville. i have to say you were the only person of color in that room. did you feel any sort of fear because you were african american? i think that we all felt fear. it wasn t lost on me that i was the only person of color in the room. but i think any time you are locked in a room with someone with a lot of guns, it s going to be scary. so i think that racist part of it, but that s a scary experience for anyone. part of why this president is facing such backlash is from this massive gap between how he sees what happened in charlottesville and how things really played out.
deadly violence in charlottesville. white supremacist chris cantwell was a participant in the unite the night rally. take a look at this interview. it s from vice media. i came pretty well prepared to this thing today. caltech 3a pt. glock 19. 9 millimeter. also .09 millimeter and there s a knife. i ain t saying it was worth it. we knew we were going to meet a lot of resistance. the fact nobody on our side died, i d call that points for us. the fact that none of our people killed anybody unjustly i think is a plus for us. and i think that we showed our rivals that we won t be cowed. so you think it was justify
