GOP Rep. On Charlottesville: Donald Trump Needs To Isolate Hate Groups | MTP Daily

DISAPPROVE OF THE PRESIDENT. JOINING ME NOW IS OHIO
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN MIKE TURNER WHO REPRESENTS THE DAYTON
AREA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING
US. FIRST OFF, WHAT IS YOUR REACTION
TO THE PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT THIS AFTERNOON?
>> WELL, I THINK THE PRESIDENT CERTAINLY HAS SAID THE RIGHT
THING, AND I CERTAINLY -- MY CON LOANS TO ALL THE VICTIMS AND ALL
THE VICTIMS' FAMILIES AND CERTAINLY CONDEMN RACISM, THESE
HATE GROUPS, THIS DOMESTIC TERRORISM.
I THINK WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS FOR THE JOB OF THE PRESIDENT GOING
FORWARD. I'VE ACTUALLY FACED THIS IESH.
I SERVE ASSIST MAYOR WHEN THE KU KLUX KLAN CAME TO TOWN.
I BE TURNED TO THE NAACP AND I CALLED FOR THE COMMUNITY TO STAY
AWAY, TO NOT LET ONE EYE OF OUR COMMUNITY SEE THEIR HATEFUL FACE
OR ONE EAR TO HEAR THEIR HATEFUL SPEECH BUT YET COME TOGETHER AS
A COMMUNITY AFTERWARDS AND ACTUALLY WASH THE SQUARE THAT
THEY WERE AT. JESSE GOODING WROTE A BOOK AND
IN THAT BOOK IS THE STORY OF OUR COMMUNITY COMING TOGETHER.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO SEE WHAT THE PRESIDENT.
PEOPLE WHO MUST HAVE OUR COUNTRY SHOULD NOT BE FLARTD BY HATE.
OUR COUNTRY IS A COUNTRY THAT SHOULD BE PROUD.
WE ELECTED BARAK OBAMA AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
THEY NEED TO BE ISOLATED, SET ASIDE AND WE NEED TO COME
TOGETHER AS A COUNTRY. >> SO WHY ARE WE NOT SEEING OUR
PRESIDENT DO THAT? SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY SOFTBALL TO
HIT? >> WELL,UP, I THINK THE
PRESIDENT HAS THAT OPPORTUNITY. WHAT WE NEED --
>> HE HAS THAT OPPORTUNITY P BUT HE'S BEEN GIVEN MULTIPLE
CHANTSDS TO HIT THAT BALL, CONGRESSMAN AND HE HASN'T DONE
IT. TODAY WAS THE THIRD CHANNELS TO
SAY I DON'T WANT YOUR SUPPORT, DON'T MARCH IN MY NAME AND WE
DID NOT HEAR THAT FROM HIM. >> WELL, I THINK WE HAVE HEARD
THAT FROM THE PRESIDENT. WE CERTAINLY HEARD IT FROM THE
CAMPAIGN WHERE PEOPLE REPEATEDLY CAME TO HIM AND SAID DENOUNCE
THEM NOW, DENOUNCE THEM NOW AND HE DID.
I THINK HE HAS. BUT I DON'T THINK THE ISSUE IS
DENOUNCE. I THINK WE ALL UNDERSTAND AND
AGREE WE DENOUNCE. THESE ARE HATE GROUPS.
THEY'RE NOT US. THEY'RE NOT THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE
OUR COUNTRY. THEY'RE BUILT THE PEOPLE WHO WE
NEED TO BE PULL TOGETHER. WHAT WE NEED TO GO IS GIVE THE
PRESIDENT AN OPPORTUNITY AND HAVE THE PRESIDENT TAKE THAT
OPPORTUNITY TO PULL US TOGETHER. THESE GROUPS NEED TO BE
ISOLATED. WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND SAY
WE STAND TOGETHER AGAINST RACISM, WE STAND AS THE COUNTRY
THAT ELECTED BARAK OBAMA, DONALD TRUMP.
WE LOVE OUR DEMOCRACY, WE LOVE OTHER DIVERSITY.
AS HE LOOKS AT WHAT IS ON HIS TO-DO LIST DOES THAT.
>> RESPECTFULLY I WAS THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY DURING THE
CAMPAIGN AND IT TOOK HIM AWHILE TO CONDEMN HATE GROUPS.
IT TOOK HIM AWHILE TO CONDEMN DAVID DUKE.
HE DIDN'T DO THAT INITIALLY. HE NEVER SAID TO WHITE
NATIONALISTS EXPLICITLY. IT IF HE DID, I CAN'T REMEMBER
IT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, HE NEVER SAID.
>> HE DID. HE DID.
>> I DON'T THINK HE DID. I WAS THERE EVERY DAY.
AND THEN WHY WOULD HE NOT SAY IT TODAY?
THESE PROTESTORS -- >> WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS DID HE
CONDEMN THEM. >> HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON.
LET ME FINISH WHAT I'M SAYING. >> CONDEMN THEM THERE'S NOT MUCH
WIGGLE ROOM ON CONDEMN. >> YOU SAY TO DAVID DUKE, I
DON'T WANT YOU TRYING TO FULFILL MY PROMISES.
I DON'T WANT YOU PROTESTING IN MY NAME.
I DON'T WANT YOU SAYING THAT YOU BELIEVE WHAT I THINK IS THAT
THIS IS OKAY FOR YOU TO DO IT. YOU GO OUT THERE AND YOU BE
FORCEFUL. AND THEN SECONDLY, YOU TALKED
ABOUT BARAK OBAMA A NUMBER OF TIMES.
THIS IS THE SAME MAN WHO WENT ON A FIVE YEAR BIRTHISM CREW SAID
WHO SAID HIS PRESIDENCY WAS ILLEGITIMATE.
I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO -- PRETTY HARD TO MAKE HIM LOOK
BETTER THAN HE IS, HE DOES. >> THIS PRESIDENT CONDEMNED VERY
CLEARLY THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN AND NOW ZA.
>> NO, HE DIFFERENT. >> ALL THESE ORGANIZATIONS.
THE POINT IS HOW WE HAVE TO SEPARATE IN THE POLITICAL
DISCOURSE LOVING YOUR COUNTRY VERSUS THOSE WHO HATE.
CLEARLY THOSE WHO HATE ARE DIFFERENT.
THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO TAKE THE REINS ON THAT AND THAT'S WHAT
I'M HERE SAYING IS WE CERTAINLY DID IT IN MY COMMUNITY.
I'M A LIFETIME MEMBER OF THE NAACP.
I WAS VERY PROUD TO STAND WITH MY LEADERSHIP AGAINST GROUPS OF
I HATE. BUT DO MORE.
WE PULLED OUR DMUNT TOGETHER AND SAID WSAID WE'RE NOT THEM, NONE.
THAT'S WHAT THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO DO NEXT.
DENOUNCE DENOUNCE DENOUNCE. >> I THINK IT'S ADMIRABLE --
>> PULL THE COUNTRY TOGETHER. THE POLITICAL DISCOURSE OF BLAME
AND HATE HAS GOT TO STOP. LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE --
ZBLOOT LET ME ASK YOU ONE MORE QUESTION BEFORE WE HAVE TO GO.
IT'S ADMIRABLE THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO DO THAT FOR YOURSELF AND
THAT'S GREAT. I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT --
>> HOLD ON, ABOUT MARK SAN FORD, YOUR COLLEAGUE AND WHAT HE TOLL
THE "WASHINGTON POST" BACK IN MAY.
AND I'M GOING TO READ IT TO YOU. HE SAID RESPECTFULLY, I'D LIKE
TO SUBMIT THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS
UNEARTHED SOME DEMONS. I'VE TALKED TO A NUMBER OF
PEOPLE ABOUT IT BACK HOME. THEY SAY WELL, LOOK, IF THE
PRESIDENT CAN SAY WHATEVER, WHY CAN'T I SAY WHATEVER?
HE'S GIVEN THEM LICENSE. SO DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS GIVEN THEM LICENSE AS YOUR
COLLEAGUE MARK SAN FORD HAS SAID?
>> NO. HE'S ENTITLED TO HIS OPINION.
WHATIBLE, THOUGH, IS THAT THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO STEP FORWARD
AND SAY WE'RE PULLING THE COUNTRY TOGETHER, THOSE WHO LOVE
OUR COUNTRY AND SEPARATE OUT THOSE AND ISOLATE THOSE WHO
HATE. WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET THIS
POLITICAL DISCOURSE OF THE BLAME GAME OF HOW MANY TIMES DOES
DENOUNCE HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE DENOUNCE HAPPENS.
THIS IS NOT POLITICAL. THIS GOES TO A VERY DANGEROUS
ISSUE IN OUR COUNTRY. WE HAVE TO ISOLATE HATE, PULL
EVERYONE TOGETHER. THAT'S WHAT THE PRESIDENT NEEDS
TO BE DOING R
