We're having protests all over. He was talking about Charlottesville," Trump said. "Charlottesville was a little peanut. And it was nothing compared -- and the hate wasn't the kind of hate that you have here."

Ginning up "southern strategy" votes for the coming Presidential election, where he will most likely lose the popular vote by at least 5 million votes. Damn the Electoral College.
