came charging, do they have any semblance of guilt. you had a group on one side that was bad and the group on the other side that was also very violent and nobody wants to say that but i will say it right now. you had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit and they were very violent. >> the president defended his initial statement that some attending saturday's rally were only protesting the removal of confederate symbols. >> those people -- i have condemned neo-nazis, i have condemned many different groups but not all of those people were neo-nazis blues not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch. those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue of robert e lee. >> the president made his comments to a lot of criticism from both democrats and

republicans including marco rubio who tweeted 6 but response including organizes of events and by the charlottesville terrorist attack are 100% to blame for a number of reasons. you can't allow white supremacists to share only part of the blame. they support an idea that caused the nation and the world so much pain. gwen moore is also calling for impeachment of donald trump saying in a statement my republican friends, i implore you to work with us to remove this man as our commander in chief and help us move forward from this dark period in our nation's history. the fourth democrat for calling impeachment. the latest round of comments from the president is sure to bring a new series of backlash today as well. heather: less focus on the agenda and more on controversy.

mao, the armed thugs, the talent ban, these are tactics that are well-known. you start by tearing down statues and burning books and eventually go after people. rob: the anger is understandable, if you look at a statue of robert e lee and your african-american -- heather: someone from the other side, one of the people, protesters using the flamethrower. there was violence on both sides. >> there is a lot of anger here and this is a very touchy subject. it comes from a terrible place, enslaving human beings is not something you want to commemorate with statues and i understand that but it is more about what do these statues mean? this is part of our history, you are not going to run away from

rob: a new report alleges the obama administration was warned about russia's plans for election interference as far back as 2014 and donald trump was quick to comment tweeting in part he didn't want to anger russia, talking about president

obama. does this have an impact on alleged collusion for the 2016 election. democratic strategist and professor at johns hopkins university and the chairman of gopac. thanks for coming on this morning. let me read this quote, you have no idea how expensive these networks are, russia has penetrated media organizations, political parties, government and military, that came in 2014 is a warning. >> we have been hearing russians say this since the 1960s, khrushchev used to brag about being involved in us elections and trying to influence them. what this report underscores is no evidence presented to the public that there was collusion among the trump campaign or the

russians did anything to impact the election and quite frankly it raises questions about if the obama administration knew something, why were they not taking decisive action? rob: over to you for a second, obviously if you are looking at a case for collusion and you see the russians have been working on this for a while, screwing with other democracies, 2014 was before donald trump announced he was running for president, beating 16 other guys, how do you make a case for collusion if you see this as far back as 2014. >> we have been hearing rumblings of trying to interfere

in western democracies, these rumblings for a while. the obama administration did impose sanctions as well as increased support for nato and on october 7, 2016, they believe the kremlin is trying to interfere with our democracy but that statement was overshadowed by the hollywood bombshell where we -- and how to address this. the case for collusion when it comes to the trump administration is not close. we still have to see if there is any there there. >> until official, obama intel official, it was a pretty frank statement. when you couple that with the

medvedev comment, more flexibility after the election, you had those against the president right now people would be going nuts for a collusion case or a deal where the russians and the president of the united states are in bed with each other. >> no question we need to stay tough on russia. whether that is this election or keep in mind it was just last year vladimir putin claimed they could take out the us navy communication system. we have a lot of areas where america has to be concerned about what russia is trying to do to impact this country and the lives of americans on a daily basis. that is why our defenses need to be strong, looking at cybersecurity and russia has to be at the top of the foreign policy agenda. rob: our relationship with russia is not that good. i do appreciate it.
