Evan Siegfried: Trump ‘Ripped Open a Gaping Wound in America’s Heart and Soul’ with Tuesday’s Remarks

RUSH EXCERPT:

BORELLI: "I understand the criticism from Saturday and I don’t necessarily agree with it. Who does have the M.O. Of going out and causing violence, but it was Tuesday that really ripped open a gaping wound. Where he said some of the people on both sides had very fine people. To all of us, we saw white supremacist coming out for a rally. They say it was about a statue, all of their flyers advertising them coming out didn’t make a single reference to it. It was united at right. It was saying that it was a neo-nazi gathering essentially. When the president says they basically imply that they are very fine neo-nazis and white supremacist, that’s painful. I think when the president did that, that really resonated among Republicans, that’s why Bob corker came out and said there something wrong. Tim Scott, the only African-American senator for the Republicans, he’s talking about the Republicans have not shown more leadership. We are a nation that needs to show them.
SCOTT: You had some thoughts in that column about saluting or embracing neo-nazis."
BORELLI: "Let me be very clear, I want to come together. But I agree and associate myself completely with my friend Evan Siegfried’s comments about neo-nazis, about the press conference. The idea of unite the right, I’m Jewish, I’m compassionate for all victims of white supremacy with all my being. The reason I wrote the column was to try to take the next step and heal, which we have to do. I don’t, in any way, want to taper it over. I really would applaud one of our chairman’s, James Murdoch, for what he said and done. I think it’s important to acknowledge when the business leaders both here and more generally who are coming together and supporting the anti-defamation league. I’m proud of fox and what we have done."
