it is not surprising that richard spencer chose charlottesville for that. charlottesville relatively small town right? it's a town of about 55,000 people, right? so this is not a big city had four civil war monuments one to robert e. lee one to stonewall jackson and two what are often referred to as standing soldiers? you know the kind of anonymous civil war soldiers. richard spencer had a connection with uva. so that was part of it, but charlottesville was a city that in the 1950s. decided to close its city schools. rather than integrate. it's a movement referred to as massive resistance. this happened in not throughout the state of virginia, but in multiple cities throughout, virginia. so the local residents were so opposed to integration after the ruling brown v board of education. they closed their schools, right? it had a deeply racist history. and so when the city voted to remove the statue of robert e lee, but they didn't do it quickly enough, right? it became a site. a great site for them to have this protest uva somehow or another manages not to in

when monuments like the least at you in charlottesville or other places were put up, they serve as memorials. and here is where the might supremacy's supremacy messages got attached. the statues are there to remind people of what the confederacy was. over time, though, as generations past, statues change. they begin as memorials. but as generations pass, they decline into monuments. the least that you became a remembrance of a chapter in richmond's history. more generations past and the monument declines still further into being simply a marker. people look up and they say and pass and they say, oh, that's robert e. lee, some history dude. in fact, they become almost literally markers for negotiating traffic in downtown richmond. we see what's happened to other monuments and memorial markers. out in the west coast, in california, in donner there is a monument to the goose donner party. the people who were sorted to, when winter clap down on them, cannibalism to survive. -- a monument meant to the party is on a picnic area. but no one looks at the monument and says, that's an incitement canni

we saw in 2017, when president donald trump called of white supremacist in charlottesville very fine the racist idea of white replacement is motivated the conservative base of the republican party. in many ways donald trump normalized racism, and the republican party has embraced it and continue to cultivate it with their rhetoric and policies, that's why we saw confederate flags at the capitol on january six. and that's why we saw members of the trump mob wearing camp auschwitz t-shirts at the capitol attack. that's why we saw mass murders in pittsburgh, el paso and three months ago in buffalo, new york, where the suspects -- politicians like donald trump are stoking this kind of existential animus towards anyone who isn't white or christian and conservatives they are eating it up. joining us now the adviser to the democratic national committee, and the democratic congressional campaign committee also professor christina greer professor at fordham university. kurt, why is the question i have, why do conservatives embrace these types of dictators? >> because they are the role models

the newspaper said that was despite initial objections from the prince of wales charlottesville fund, about the organization to which this sum was donated. the supposed relationship between bin laden, family members and charities associated with prince charles have never been publicly disclosed before. alec comes nearly a month after of course the prince was 100 carrier bags filled with $3000000.00 pounds in cash from the former prime minister of cat tar. that money was also deposited into the prince of wales, chargeable fund. international editor of the morning star newspaper steve sweeney believes the scandals could lead to a significant crisis for the british monarchy. this shows incredibly poor judgment from prince charles and the royal family who seemed to think nothing of taking millions of pounds from a family have been linked to one of the biggest terrorist operations on the planet is the moral outrage that this is provoked to the world and the backlash against the wall family that they don't seem particularly bothered about. it shows a whole family that is in crisis. it's cer

embracing them and showing them love and support which started when trump called them good people in charlottesville when they murdered a young woman? is there like any concern and the governor of florida who wanted to stop black lives matter from protesting was silent when the neo-nazis were protesting which just says he accepted them and had no problem with them. and what they believe in, which is murdering gay people. do you have any concerns about their seemingly growing support of these two groups? guest: absolutely, morgan. great question. in idaho in june, the police had to arrest over 30 members of a far right group who had arrived in town who had been incited to attack a pride celebration. so it is getting very, very dangerous to be a lbgtq+ person. it has always been dangerous and it is getting more so. the same thing is true for people to have color the same thing is true for religious groups such as jews and muslims. so i think that we have to have political leaders who regardless of their ideology conservative, liberal, progressive, whatever you want to say who make it absolutely clear

she was born in 1863, grew up near charlottesville. i wonder if she had any formal education. does she refer to any authors that she felt particularly influenced by? jane: she was particularly influenced by her grandfather's library at chapel hill, where she read widely. her first years were spent in mobile, alabama, where her father was an executive for the mobile and ohio railroad. she apparently had tutors and it was quite am unsystematic education. she was largely self educated. she discovered herself. she educated herself. she had tutors and governess's. the higher education that women were beginning to receive. this was the time of the founding of the seven sisters colleges, and when many southern women's colleges were founded in the antebellum period. >> thanks. i am her husband. but i have read this manuscript many times. what do you think were the readers of her works? what was her audience? who was she talking to, do you think? jane: i think disparate -- different parts of her writing spoke to different audiences. there is a real fad in chivalric stories, stories abo

after charlottesville they were being pushed down and they were not materializing. what was materializing were people who were supporting donald trump who decided their way of protest would come out. then in the summer of george floyd, they were coming out with an lot. at that point you would see these big groups, for example in louisville, kentucky what about 200 of them were marching up and down the streets, they were not the oath keepers. or the 3% militia. there were locals who were exercising the same intimidation power you would see from these other militias and what would become the base of the trump enforcers. but i realized this is much broader than it is. they have now been melded into a large body of people who were trump voters who thought i'm going to exercise my right to protest by carrying a fire alarm and the implicit threat behind that, which is, if you cause trouble i will kill you. i am a firearms: your. i own a slew of practice weapons that i practice here in the united states and use overseas. ar-15's, ak-47s, all sort of things. but don't tell

like buffalo, like the synagogues that we have seen attacks, like charlottesville. but that is a lot more complicated than holding hands and listening to each other. far as i'm concerned, you must do more substantive work to atone for all of us on the ground to come together with the president and others, raising his profile. what are your thoughts on this, congressman? >> the tone and tenor, reverend, is set by the person at the top. the top is where the buck stops, and that is the president. this president has demonstrated his desire to make sure that our communities are safe. and to dissent, with this program, he intends to allow people within the community, within the civil rights community, i call it uniting around the uniter. persons who have demonstrated a desire to prevent crime and promote healing. the president, i believe, is a person that is ideally suited for this type of program. because he has, over his time in congress, and the senate, demonstrated that he wants to keep our communities safe. i am honored that he has invited you and other human rights

the anniversary of charlottesville was just the other day as well.been a steady uptick and increase in particularly right wing violence. it's not entirely right wing violence, that is the bulk of it. we know that from homeland security reports. you have that going on, also at the same time, you have the dehumanization of americans and others, that is being perpetuated by the far-right. on the forms like that. and then you have of course republican officials, initially led by trump, and it is now a broader movement, who are aiding it on, because it is in their self interest. and so, the situation, it's extremely dangerous. it's not just fbi agents who are at risk, but it's every day americans, who find themselves, unfortunately, in the crosshairs. simply because they are not part of trumpism or part of wet those who follow trumpism, c is fully american. that includes transgender americans, jewish americans, obviously black americans, liberals, gays, we can go down the list. there are a lot of groups of people right now, of americans, have a good reaso
