we can go to anthony zurcher, our correspondent in washington. ion from the president? yes, as you mentioned, the removal of the statue was the reason for the march in charlottesville on saturday. it's why there was that torchlight parade of white nationalists, white supremacist, who we re nationalists, white supremacist, who were taunting, blood and soil, and "dues will not replace us". it led to violent protests and the death of one of the counter—productive. —— one of the counter—productive. —— one of the counter—productive. —— one of the counter protesters. a few days later, donald trump essentially in tost the reason for the march, the argument that the marchers were making. it is coming down with both feet on one side of this debate at a time when, as you mentioned, nerves are still very war. —— very raw. the bloodshed has only recently passed. it isa bloodshed has only recently passed. it is a pretty remarkable action for a president usually at times like these, presidents and that you as some sort of a cohesive bonding of the wounds, bring

i think we can go to washington, and speak to anthony zurcher.because he didn't have all the fa cts . because he didn't have all the facts. that was puzzling. what we saw yesterday was a carefully planned, scripted statement of mr trump addressing the situation, but i think we now have a window about white he acted the way he did on saturday after the violence in charlottesville. he said he wanted to make sure he got the story out but it was clear that he thinks that there were violent people on both sides. i think it was pretty clear, even before violence broke out in charlottesville, even before violence broke out in cha rlottesville, what even before violence broke out in charlottesville, what the nature of those protests were when he talked about what was going on the night before, he has courted a peaceful protest. the night before there were white supremacists marching around charlottesville, white supremacists marching around cha rlottesville, the white supremacists marching around charlottesville, the university of virginia's campus havin
