but nevertheless, j.c. watts as an elected official, as a leader, if you will, or president trump or president obama, we all have obligations as leaders to not put salt in the wound, to bring a decency and a respect to the table to say, look, we're going to call evil what it is. we're going to stare evil down. and when you've got people who feel like my 2-year-old granddaughter, because of her skin color, would say she should be eradicated or that she shouldn't be on the face of the earth or we don't want to live in harmony with her, chuck, she doesn't even know those people. and again, when any of us speak to the side of evil or we maybe unintentionally give the impression that we're siding with the evil, that's a tough ditch to get out of. >> if you were still serving in congress and you were in leadership, how would you handle president trump right now? would you still try to work with him? would you -- if he doesn't repudiate, would you just have this uncomfortable distance from him? what's your advice

is it enough to change the trends for j.c.enney and broader stores. >> downgraded the stock, but dana, here's what's confusing about j.c. penney and other retailers, sales haven't been that bad their sales are actually up from the same quarter last year which is amazing although it did lose nine cents a share why the dichotomy and why this massive stock hit? >> i think overall the fact that the hurdle is so high as courtney just mentioned to make the guidance for the year coupled with fact that gross margin is weaker than expected and you have big sales that need to get flat up 4% in order to meet the guidance. we've had companies talk about the fact that sales are better but now the back half of the year requires an acceleration. the loss of confidence in these names and their ability to generate a pick jup in the back half of the year is leading to the pressure on the stocks. >> i did this with a couple of members of the show team how much did j.c. penney sales fall no, they rose year over year but losing money are they buyi

let's talk about former oklahoma congressman j.c. watts who spoke with my colleague, chuck todd, this morning, about charlottesville and the president's role. here's j.c. watts' take. >> one thing i will agree with president trump on is this. the racial divide didn't just happen when donald trump got elected. they didn't just happen when president obama got elected. i think they were probably heightened. i think they were probably intensified under president obama. and i think they carried over into the trump administration. >> so do you agree with that? is it fair to pin the blame for charlottesville on president trump? >> you know, yes, i do think he shares a tremendous amount of responsibility. because i think that my friend j.c. watt is setting up a strawman to knock him down. everybody knows. every third grader knows that america used to hold slaves, took land from native americans. we all know about that. but what we expect leaders to do is to advance us and move us forward. i do not agree that president obama intensified racia

there's no indication that he's going to do what j.c. has asked him to do, what mitt romney wants him to do, that he's going to say, you know what, i repudiate what i said. there shouldn't be any confusion about how i feel about these groups. he's happy with this. and for those of us who have fought the identity politics of the left for so many years, it's incredibly discouraging to see this embraced by at least part of the right, of the same odious identity politics. >> i'm going to go back with the same question i asked j.c. watts, andrew young, donna, you will start. how do we get past this moment? it feels like if he doesn't move, we're stuck. >> well, i'm not sure. i actually think that while the president may not have any moral authority, the country actually does. i think that we can see that over the course of this last week, the demonstrations, certainly the very moving remarks by susan bro, the mother of heather heyer, which was a call to action. that the country has a moral compass, even if its president right now does not. i

i think j.c. is right. he doesn't have much to brag about. president, i would tell hem to stay at the white house and bask a bit in the afterglow. i don't say this very often and i probably will regret it, but he sounded a little presidential, partly because he was given the same speech that president obama and george w. bush have given before him, but he also but the responsible president that every previous president has made there's no winning strategy, but you don't want to be the guy who loses it, and i think trump finally saw that last night. >> j.c., you heard that. you've been critical of the president for him to go out and do a really speech, he's not going to address what's happened in the last seven months he'll address what he wants to have happen over the next seven. >> even that, you have to have a good understanding of how the process works. you know, america, we elect presidents, we don't elect kings. there's a legislative process that's very ugly, very nasty, it's been ugly and nasty for republican presidents and democrat pre
