Probably, I imagine this would be way more on the rails if it was in the press briefing room. Although, it's Trump, so probably still pretty far off the rails.
Anyway, so far, the highlights:
- the driver of the car that killed the girl is a murderer and a terrible person and maybe it was terrorism but I won't say it yet;
- Steve Bannon is a good person who gets a bad rap from the media;
- Senator McCain voted against us getting good health care and doesn't know what he's talking about re: McMaster;
- What about the alt-left that came charging at the alt-right, do they have any semblance of guilt;
- You had a group on one side that was and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent, and nobody wants to say that but I'll say it;
- Not all of the people in Charlotteville were Neo-nazis or white supremacists by any stretch, some of them just wanted to protest the statue being taken down;
- This week it's Robert E Lee, I notice that Stonewall Jackson is coming down, I wonder is George Washington next week and Thomas Jefferson the week after;
- Whether the statue of Robert E Lee should stay up is up to a local town or community depending on where it is located;
- New jobs being created will have a positive impact on race relations because that's what people want;
- We're spending lots on inner cities;
- I'm not putting anybody on a moral plane, I'm saying two groups went at each other with clubs and it was a horrible thing to watch;
- There was a group on this side, you just called them the left, violently attacking the other group, so you can say what you want but that's the way it is;
- I think there's blame on both sides, I have no doubt about it and you don't have any doubt about it either and if you reported it accurately, you would see that;
- You had people who were very fine people on both sides, you had people who were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very important statue, and the renaming of a park;
- George Washington was a slave owner, are we going to take down statues to George Washington? How about Thomas Jefferson? Are we going to take down his statue?
- You're changing history, you're changing culture, and you had people - and I'm not talking about the Neo-Nazis, who should be condemned totally - but you had many people in that group other than them and they get treated unfairly;
- The people who were protesting the statue being taken down had a permit;
- I own a house in Charlottesville. I know a lot about Charlottesville. It's a great place.
- I own one of the largest wineries in the United States, it's in Charlottesville.
That seems to have been the gist of the whole thing.
