Watch our complete discussion with a former neo-Nazi and the nephew of a white supremacist who marched in the Charlottesville, Virginia, protest. Christian Picciolini is co-founder of Life After Hate, a nonprofit helping people disengage from hate and violent extremism. He was a leading neo-Nazi skinhead gang member and far-right extremist in the 1980s and 1990s. We also speak with Jacob Scott, the nephew of Peter Tefft, who was disowned by his father, Pearce Tefft, in a letter published in a local newspaper.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Delivers a Powerful Message to Neo-Nazis after Charlottesville

Published on Aug 19, 2017 by ATTN: [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX1QptigcsbBubVqtB1JK7g / https://www.youtube.com/user/AttnMedia , https://www.youtube.com/user/AttnMedia/videos ]

Following the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Arnold Schwarzenegger delivered a powerful message to President Trump, suggesting what he should have said.

“In fact, as president of this great country, you have a moral responsibility to send an unequivocal message that you don’t stand for hate and racism.”

“‘As President of the United States, and as a Republican, I reject the support of white supremacists,'” Schwarzenegger says. “‘The country that defeated Hitler’s armies is no place for Nazi flags. The party of Lincoln won’t stand with those who carry the battle flags of the failed Confederacy.’”

I have a message to the Neo-Nazis, the white nationalists, and the Neo-Confederates. Let me be as blunt as possible: Your heroes are losers. You are supporting a lost cause. Believe me, I knew the original Nazis. I was born in Austria in 1947, shortly after the second world war. Growing up, I was surrounded by broken men / men who came home from a war filled with shrapnel and guilt / men who were misled into a losing ideology.

And I can tell you: these ghosts you idolize spent the rest of their lives living in shame and right now, they're resting in hell.

Mitt Romney
@MittRomney

Having created a natl inflection point of consequence, POTUS must apologize & repudiate the racists. Full statement:

I will dispense for now from discussion of the moral character of the president's Charlottesville statements. Whether he intended to or not, what he communicated caused racists to rejoice, minorities to weep, and the vast heart of America to mourn. His apologists strain to explain that he didn't mean what we heard. But what we heard is now the reality, and unless it is addressed by the president as such, with unprecedented candor and strength, there may commence an unraveling of our national fabric.

The leaders of our branches of military service have spoken immediately and forcefully, repudiating the implications of the president's words. Why? In part because the morale and commitment of our forces--made up and sustained by men and women of all races--could be in the balance. Our allies around the world are stunned and our enemies celebrate; America's ability to help secure a peaceful and prosperous world is diminished. And who would want to come to the aid of a country they perceive as racist if ever the need were to arise, as it did after 9/11?

In homes across the nation, children are asking their parents what this means. Jews, blacks, Hispanics, Muslims are as much a part of America as whites and Protestants. But today they wonder. Where might this lead? To bitterness and tears, or perhaps to anger and violence?

The potential consequences are severe in the extreme. Accordingly, the president must take remedial action in the extreme. He should address the American people, acknowledge that he was wrong, apologize. State forcefully and unequivocally that racists are 100% to blame for the murder and violence in Charlottesville. Testify that there is no conceivable comparison or moral equivalency between the Nazis--who brutally murdered millions of Jews and who hundreds of thousands of Americans gave their lives to defeat--and the counter-protestors who were outraged to see fools parading the Nazi flag, Nazi armband and Nazi salute. And once and for all, he must definitively repudiate the support of David Duke and his ilk and call for every American to banish racists and haters from any and every association.
This is a defining moment for President Trump. But much more than that, it is a moment that will define America in the hearts of our children. They are watching, our soldiers are watching, the world is watching. Mr. President, act now for the good of the country.

Full Show - Alt-Left Attacks Alex Jones In The Streets - 08/18/2017

Published on Aug 18, 2017 by The Alex Jones Channel

Friday, August 18th 2017: The Fight of the Century - President Trump is single-handedly standing up to the DC swamp that's trying to overthrow him in favor of a globalist-minded president who'll continue stripping away US sovereignty. The MSM in particular is trying to paint him as a "white supremacist" after blaming both sides for the Charlottesville violence, but millions of Americans realize that far-left agitators are just as bad as neo-Nazis. Trends analyst Gerald Celente examines the current world trajectory and tells us what to expect. Journalist Lee Stranahan reveals secrets from inside the beltway. And Andrew Torba, CEO of social media site GAB, reveals how Google is censoring his platform. Alex Jones, Owen Shroyer, and Roger Stone host this transmission.
