Trump is defending Confederate monuments more than Lindsey Graham. Cenk Uygur, the host of The Young Turks, breaks it down.
“Washington (CNN)The feud between President Donald Trump and Sen.
Lindsey Graham over the President's response to racially motivated
protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, continued Thursday, with the
South Carolina senator accusing Trump of stoking tensions, a claim Trump
called "a disgusting lie."
"Your tweet honoring Miss Heyer was
very nice and appropriate. Well done," the South Carolina lawmaker said
Thursday morning, referring to Heather Heyer, the 32 year old woman who
was killed in a car attack on Saturday. The man charged in her killing
has been described as a Nazi sympathizer.
"However, because of
the manner in which you have handled the Charlottesville tragedy, you
are now receiving praise from some of the most racist and hate-filled
individuals and groups in our country. For the sake of our nation -- as
our President -- please fix this."
"History is watching us all,"
added Graham, who has been one of the few Republican lawmakers to
directly denounce Trump's equivocation earlier this week between white
supremacists and those who were protesting them in Charlottesville. The
President blamed "both sides" for inciting violence and said there were
"very fine people" protesting in the Virginia city amid the
torch-bearing protesters.”
