And I think that we all, again, have a responsibility, and I hope within the republican party they would lower the temperature. It's not right to say when we have Charlottesville people coming down the hill with torches and all the rest of that lights and then saying, Jews will not replace us. Jews will not replace us. A person gets killed there, and then the candidate for the president of the United States then says, oh, there are good people on both sides. Without condemning those actions. Let me talk to you about the Secret Service. There's a debate right now whether they should have additional funding. We saw two attempted attacks on the former president. (18:38–19:04)

CLAIM
