people, when a thug puts on a mask, whether that mask is a racist klansman's hood or whether it is afa's black mask -- first of all, when you put on a mask and it's not halloween you're up to no good clearly. but when they do that and resort to political violence, which has been done on both sides, it is totally unacceptable in decent society in nerk -- >> who disagrees with that? if you break the law you're a rioter and you're a thug and criminal -- >> you know who disagrees with it, unfortunately? you do. because you eck wivquivocated o very point -- >> i never eck wquivocated on anything. you twist my words for effect to enhance a bigoted agenda. and you're going to sell it. it's a mistake on this show. i said very clearly and people can check my words, you break the law you're a criminal and a thug. i said don't create a moral equation between those who preach hate and those who fight it because not all punches are equal. and i stand by that. but i never endorsed antifa. don't sell b.s. to my face. do it behind my back where you're better at it. >> no, chris. i'll do it to your f

careful with the on tv argument because a study onever done neo-nazis and whites from assists or a klansman to figure out if they voted for trump. the chris savino date on this point. with tv, you have to realize there is staging going on. at one point, i remember turning on a video in i see this solitary white supremacist, i mean a ridiculous guy, an imbecile. frankly, if he lived in nazi germany, hitler would have sent him to the gas chambers. nevertheless, there he is, and he is supported by 30 reporters. why? that is their point. there is a trumpster. there is white supremacy. what i do is i look at all the leading white nationalists in america, one by one, and they are all men, mostly men, of the left. jason kessler, the main organizer of charlottesville, obama activist, occupy wall street guy. why would an obama activist, an obama voter, become one? it makes no sense. the press knew this. it is on the southern poverty law center website, but the press suppressed it. why? because it is inconvenient to their narrative. the charlottesville paper interviewed jason kessler's friends. this

argument because frankly no one has ever done an empirical story of neo-nazis and white supremacist or klansman figure if they actually voted for trumpet there is no data on disk. with tv you have to realize stage is going on. at one point i turned on a video to sit solitary what's, ridiculous guy, an imbecile. quite front i think if the guy lived in nazi germany hitler would have said constricted guest gibbous. there he is and he is threaded by like 30 reported. 30 reporters, quite white supremacist. that's the point. there's the toaster, white supremacy. what i do in my book is i look at all the leading white nationalist in america one by one by one and a show that almost without exception they are all men and no segment of the left, of the left. jason kaus or the main organizer of charlottesville, obama activist, occupy wall street guy. ask yourself why would an obama activist, and obama voter become a white supremacist? decimeter descents? it makes no sense. the press knew this. it's on the souther poverty law center website but the press, it's inconvenient to the charlottesville narrative.
