racial angering moment. the president faced outrage from critics both for what he said and didn t say. former vice president al gore chastised the president late today as the net roots nation conference in atlanta was taking place. take a look. i would urge you to give more thought to what it means to have a resurgence of the ku klux klan and nazi movement creating this kind of hatefulness. with me now, joe watkins, white house aide to the first president bush and political analyst joel benneson for hillary clinton s 2016 campaign and nbc white house reporter ali vitali. ali, i was fascinated by your note before, just to give us that friendly gentle reminder of what we all lived through in the primary and general election of
we re doing wrong as a country where things like this can happen. so joel, he wants to study it. what is there to study? i don t think he knows what he s talking about. today was the significant moral test that he s had in his presidency in the first seven months and he s failed it completely and everybody is talking about the false equivalency. and when you don t call out by names neo-nazis and white supremacists, if you have any doubt about that, go to the daily stormer where they re calling trump s comments good, saying that there was no condemnation at all. god bless him. this is horrifying. what you re going to start to see, republicans like senator orrin hatch who lost a brother fighting the nazis in world war ii and john mccain calling evil out by its name and we have a president who runs away from
