## Transcript

When it comes to the Klan, when it comes to the Nazis and white supremacists, they are unambiguously evil. They're racist. They're bigots. And as we saw tragically in Charlottesville. And when you do see Hateful, racist, bigoted speech personified by Nazis and Klansmen. I believe all of us have a moral obligation to call it out. I think the tweet was intended for broader audience, which is the American people I don't believe that you can be a fine person and a white supremacist. They are mutually exclusive. You can't use them in the same line. And in doing that I want to remind the president that we need to be careful how we express things.

The KKK, Neo- Nazis, are fundamentally opposed to what our constitution is about, which is equality of all men. So it's pretty simple to call them out
