(james) a stunning about- face from president trump who just two days ago condemned neo-nazis for the deadly violence in charlottesville. yesterday -- the president lashed out at what he called the 'alt-left' ... and defended rally attendees.(robin) the president doubled down on his controversial statements over the weekend -- that the white supremacists who rallied in charlottesville were only ápartiallyá responsible for the deadly violence there. all of this as the bay area gears up for several planned alt-right rallies. "what about the alt-left, they came charging at what you say the alt-right. do they have any semblance of guilt? what about they came charging, clubs in hand, swinging clubs. do they have any problem? i think they do."he praised the torch=carrying marchers on friday night."not all of those people were neo-nazis, believe me. 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 the statue of robert e. lee." and he signalled his
4:05 am
opposition to what he called an attempt to change history. "this week, it's robert e. lee. i noticed that stonewall jackson is coming down. i wonder is it george washington next week? is it thomas jefferson the week after? you know, you do really have to ask yourself where does it stop?"asked about the driver who killed a counter=protestor by driving into a crowd ... he refused to call it domestic terrorism."then you get into legal semantics. the driver of the car is a murderer. and what he did was a horrible, horrible inexcusable thing." the day began with this presidential retweet showing a c=n=n reporters being run down by a trump train.it was quickly taken down ... but hours later, the president was unabashedly hostile to the network "wait a minute i'm not finished, i'm not finished, fake news. that was a horrible day. .. i will tell you something. i watched those very closely ... much more closely than you people watched it. and you had a group on one side that was bad
4:06 am
and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. and nobody wants to say it, 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 very violent." (robin) we spoke with some local trump supporters... to hear their thoughts on the president's comments. one supporter says, the president was correct in saying... that both sides are to blame for the violence in charlottesvill e.

(james) continuing our team coverage. the bay area is bracing for two right wing rallies set to take place later this month. one... at san francisco's iconic crissy field. as kron4's dan kerman reports -- there are a lot of concerns...that the event will spiral out of control. sot no you are not welcome in san francisco, san francisco board of supervisors president london breed didn't mince any words when it comes to an alt-right rally scheduled for august 26th at crissy fieldsot london breed/sf board of supervisors president 12-22we will do everything we can to stop you from being in san francisco, we don't want to see our city torn apart because of the hate and the
