From Jake Tapper's State of the Union show....Sunday 8-13-17
VAN JONES: It’s almost painful to have to point this out.
This is -- you are correct that there is a problem of extremism in this country that cuts across.
But this is a day in which after an American citizen was assassinated in broad daylight by a Nazi.
A Nazi, who the day before had been marching with torches down American streets saying anti-Jewish, anti-black stuff, and then an American -- this not a time to talk about both sides.
Both sides are not using ISIS tactics, mowing people down with cars in the streets of America.
Both sides are not trying to defend a horrific -- grandparents, great grandparents, the people watching this show gave their lives to stop Nazism.
Dr. King gave his life to stop the Klan.
This is not a time to talk about both sides.
Maybe tomorrow. Maybe the day after tomorrow.
