a son right proud of my boys stand back and stand by many consider the proud boys a hate group its members marched at the unite the right rally in 2017 in charlottesville virginia and more recently have marched against black lives matter protests a social media the group has taken the president's statement as marching orders standing by sir one member wrote what we saw was a dog whistle through a bullhorn. not pretending to be anything other than what he is someone who will not condemn white supremacists someone who cannot say the phrase black lives matter and on wednesday at a campaign stop in ohio democratic presidential nominee joe biden sent this message maher message to the proud boys and every other word supremacist group is cease and desist that's not who we are the white house is defending trump it notes last week

he says changing the format won't necessarily result in a less chaotic performance. trampas trump you know i think the role of the moderator has become so difficult and so politically charged everyone is just waiting you know sitting in judgment waiting for the moderator to do something that you know looks untoward and so if the moderator gets involved in a situation like with trump the term people are going to be angry and if he doesn't the biden people are going to be angry so it's a no win but i think the debate commission is correct in wanting to put some sort of order into the chaos and make sure that we don't have another debate where the needs of the voters you know don't get properly discussed so coming up mikes is one idea maybe cutting the time that's a lot and to a particular candidate at that candidate is cutting into the other person's time there are a few little things you can do but you know human beings are human beings they're going to behave the way they behave and insular i don't think even those kind of

small fixes are going to stop trump from doing the thing that he always does in this election particularly because there are so few undecided voters traditionally and the role of debates is to let those people who haven't made up their minds comparison shop see the candidates side by side and figure out which of them them appeals war and then for the people who have already decided it's a way to reinforce your bond with that candidate make sure that's the one you want to support in get enthusiastic about voting for that person this year though with so few undecided voters it's really more about the get out your voters then changing any minds. france's highest court has ruled that a suspect in their one then genocide can be sent to tanzania to face trial at a un backed court for listening is accused of helping to finance members of the hutu tribe who killed 8 100002 seize a moderate hutus in 1994 he's been held in a french jails since his arrest outside of his home in paris earlier this year
