Chuck Todd: Trump's Press Conference "Gave Me The Wrong Kind Of Chills," "I'm A Bit Shaken"

NBC's Chuck Todd reacts to President Trump's Tuesday afternoon press conference at Trump Tower where he once again spoke about Charlottesville:





CHUCK TODD, MEET THE PRESS DAILY: Folks, what I just saw gave me the wrong kind of chills. Honestly, I'm a bit shaken from what I just heard. And I suspect it's not just me. Moments ago at Trump Tower, the president of the United States painted white nationalists and members of the alt-right as victims of what he described as club-wielding members of the alt-left.



It was a chilling mix of what about-ism, false equivalence and a total muddying of the waters after one person was killed and at least 19 people were injured after members of the KKK, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists protested the removal of a Confederate statue in Charlottesville. Where to begin? You might as well start with the president painting these protesters as surreal victims of a violent left-wing movement.
