persuade people that your heart is in the right place. >> david gergen, we alliance appreciate you. thank you for being here. you are live in the "cnn newsroom." i'm ana ana cabrera in new york. a deadly day. it started with serious clashes in the streets of charlottesville. admitted white nationalists fighting against people who came out to face them and break up their racist rally. some people were hurt before things turned very tragic. [ bleep ] one woman died in this crowd when that car suddenly accelerated and slammed into a

group of people protesting against the white nationalists. several others were hurt. some of their injuries are life threatening. we heard from the president. he heard about the incident from his resort in new jersey. what he said and notably didn't say in a moment. first, brian todd is in charlottesville, virginia, right now. brian, you first on the ground there. update us on what police are saying about this deadly crash and set is scene as we head into the evening. >> reporter: setting the scene for you at the scene of the crash, we're here near the corner of 4th street and water streets in shafrlt. we're going to zoom in and tell you where the car strike occurred. you see the police officers up there on 4th street with that dark colored van pointing toward us. that's a maroon colored honda van. we believe it's a van. right behind it is a silver car. both of those cars were struck in that incident. that is where authorities say a

32-year-old female pedestrian was struck and killed. you can see officers are still processing the crime scene. they were gathering evidence here earlier. you have barricades and police tape up there. the driver is in custody. they're not giving a name of that person yet. some clarification here on the casualties tonight, ana. we heard from the governor a short time ago that there were a total of three fatalities today, but two of them occurred in a helicopter crash that occurred outside the city center on an old farm road outside the center. how that's exactly related to today's events, we're not sure. we're gathering more information about the helicopter crash. but the governor lumped that in with the fatality here downtown connected to the protests. he is saying a total of three fatalities. we do know two of those are connected to the oprah crash. we have an update for you tonight, ana, on the injuries. according to city officials and police, four people are in

serious condition, five people are a level above that in critical can listen to we have five in critical condition, four in serious condition, six people in fair condition and four people listed in good condition tonight. quite a number of injuries people are dealing with tonight. earlier they said they treated about 35 people. there were a lot of casualties from the actual engagement at the rally and in the fighting outside the venue and here behind me on 4th street where the incident occurred. as we head toward nightfall, ana, tensions are at a boil here. authorities ready for whatever happens, i talked to the city manager a short time ago. he said more than 700 law enforcement officers are going to deployed on the streets tonight in anticipation of anything happening. as we head toward nightfall there's still quite a lot of tension here. >> good to see calm right now.

particularly how he hasn't called out the nationalists. >> ana, he's been tweeting the last couple hours his condolences to the virginia state police who were killed in that helicopter crash and also the young woman who was killed when that car plowed through the crowd at the counterdemonstration earlier today. let's play some of what he had to say several hours ago to comment on what's been going on in charlottesville. >> we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides. it's been going on for a long time in our country. not donald trump, not barack obama, it's been going on for a

long long time. >> reporter: and a lot of people have taken issue with the phrase on many sides which we heard the president say there. saying he's ekwagt the people who've been marching wearing nazi arm bands, some of them also carrying trump signs and wearing make america greats again hats, he's ekwagt those folks with people who are count counterdemonstrating. i asked a white house official what he meant. i was told he was condemning hate from all sources and all sides. there was violence between all protests and counterprotesters today. they are doubling down on the idea that many people are to blame here that both sides are

to blame. another thing the president said was we want to straighten out the situation in charlottesville and study it to see what we're doing as a country. the president at no point has condemned the white nationalists that storms the campus of the university of virginia with torches. he also hasn't criticized the ones who organized a rally today. s whether it's his former rival, hillary clinton, or fellow republicans, he's called the press, the media, the enemy of the people, and yet he has not said a negative word at white nationalists or white nationalism. so far i haven't heard anything on where he stands on that.

>> thank you both. some including republican lawmakers have been critical of the president for not specifically condemning white nationalism. republican senator cory gardener tweeted this. mr. president we must call evil by its anyway. this was domestic terrorism. republican congresswoman from florida quoting, anti-semimites are the antithesis of our american values. there are no other sides to hatred and bigotry. lynn sweet, simone sanders, and cnn political kmecommentator. words matter but i want to look at this from all sides as much as possible. is it possible people are making too much of the fact the president did not say the words

white nationalism? >> no, ana, it's not. this is a very important point because even though there were clashes today and fights broke out, yes, between the protesters and the counterprotesters, let's look at the core reason you had a rally of white nationalists. this is one of the biggest gathering of white supremeists in years. that alone would have been word a condemnation of president trump, even without the violence that took place. that's what i think is the core issue here when we talk about the false equivalencesy of saying there many to blame on it. that is not the case. let's keep our eye on what the main issue is that this is a white extremists rally and white supremacis supremacist values are the values that should be called out by the president of the united states and by everyone. >> simone, what kind of

opportunity is this for the president to reach out beyond his base and try to bring more people under this umbrella as the president of the whole country? >> i think this is a real opportunity for president trump to show us that he is actually willing and wanting to lead us all, that he's not just worried about his base but the well-being of the american people. as a press person, communications person who has worked for many, many princ principles, if something happens, if there's breaking news, you have to be able to pivot. today, we did not see this white house pivot really well. we saw him come out with a statement at the top that was not a very strong statement. it was extremely weak. and then pivot to talking about how great america is, quot quote/unquote, doing. for people all across the

country right now that are dealing with this same kind of terror in their communities, i don't think they feel america is on the up. >> jack, the president campaigned on telling it like it is, not being politically correct. he said he wouldn't be afraid to call things islamic extremism. >> if you go back to november 21st, there's an alt-right white people's conference for some silly thing. >> it's happening today, jack. >> i want to answer your question. and he did condemn white racism there, and he did it again in january. i want to make sure people understand he's not afraid to call people white supremacists. he's nod avoiding that. >> when did he say it? >> november 12th, 2016 when there was a white people conference, which, by the way,

the same guy was there today, some guy name spencer. >> richard spencer. >> the president isn't afraid of the term. but what he did say is he condemned the bigotry, the hatred, the violence. there were nine tweets just on this. >> may i jump in here. >> go ahead, lynn. >> i now think with sensitivity, jack from your position, i know it comes from your heart when you speak, this was a rally organized by white supremacists. this was the issue. this was not some gathering that turned bad or some protests that came out of the blue. you can't ignore how these events today came about. that's why it would have been important for president trump to speak out at the least, not blame many sides.

>> someone is now dead. i was in new orleans last night and i was looking on twitter. and i saw people joking about how these were kids with tiki torches. fast forward and someone is dead. what's going to happen tomorrow? there are a number of people who are injured. words matter. just folks talking about the fact -- >> let me say this. if i could agree with you, the president should use the word white supremacists, don't you think you and i as liberals and conservatives and democrats and republicans should be able to move past that and say -- >> did we should be able to move past white supremacists? never forget. oh, my goodness. >> hold on, simone. let jack finish. >> i don't understand what he is saying about move past it. >> the fact that the president

hasn't used the term white supremacist, we as a people should be able to get past it and say maybe he will talk about it later on. he will have two press conferences later this week. in the meantime, all of us pull together and try to address this. you pointed out marco rubio's words were very good. i think most skpligpoliticians leaders are condemning this. what are we doing this blaming the president because the statement wasn't good enough for everybody. what can twoerjs stop this violence across the land? >> the president could have a mulligan, couldn't he? he's had plenty of opportunities. nobody's preventing him from doing that. >> let me be really clear because i don't want to hear anything else jack has to say about moving past white supremacist. >> hold on, jack. let simone make her comment.

>> ana, he specifically noted why can't we move past this. we can't move past white supr e supremacy because we have yet to move on from that. people have died. it is extremely important that folks understand that there are people in this country who literally feel scared to leave their homes every day, not just people of color. lgbtq americans, there are a lot of folks. i would just love if we could -- i think i'm being very clear. >> yeah, but i think i was clear when i said we got to get beyond the fact the president didn't use two words. >> this is more than just rhetoric. these are people's lives. further more, this march was put

together because folks are upset, literally upset that as a vice mayor in charlottesville saying we need to remove this monument of the confederacy because it's offensive to folks. that is what this is about. no, we can't move past it. let's talk about the fact that the confederacy -- i'm actually offended -- >> it's inaccurate. >> i know this is a conversation and we want to continue. we have to skied skis in another break. thank you all. we'll be right back. unlimited id as the network it's on. and only one network can be the best... verizon. just named number one in the nation by rootmetrics,

♪ share the spice of life. breaking news today, deadly violence in virginia, a car ramming a crowd of koount protesters at a white

nationalists rally in charlottesville. one woman killed, dozen injured. the driver for you in custody. earlier white nationalists clutching torches marched through this college town. this paints the picture of the tension that turned violent. the governor declaring a state of emergency. today's rally triggered by plans to remove a statute of general robert e. lee from a park there. i want to bring in an expert, what do you think is driving this movement right now? >> what we're seeing is this new part of the white supremacists movement connected to alt-right that have been in the shadows for the last eight years. and they are out and it's like a snowball that's been building and building. it seems to be an unstoppable force. that's how they see themselves. they see themselves as a part of

a second american revolution to take the country back. we're going to be seeing a lot more of this as we go on. >> you grew up in the south and met with white nationalists. are there common characteristics, common life experiences? >> sure many of them see the world changing too fast. they don't know how to process the changes in our demographics, the change in sexual identity, the change in our economy. these are things that are transforming the country at a quick pace and they are a bit out of sorts. so they have this notion of going back to something where the world makes sense. there's that push back, and the push back happens on the playground, bullying against kids who are immigrants or muslims. it happens on the political spectrum but it also happens on

the streets where the alt-right gets their megaphone and gets their message heard through the media. >> we were talking about how the president reacted to the violence. his opponents and republicans too are ripping apart some of those comments today no matter where one land on the political spectrum randy, is there a correct way to talk about these hate groups? >> there is. i mean, the fact is that they are responding to the changes, but the changes are about creating a society that's more just and more equal. for those folks some of that feels like oppression. so it's not fair to equate both sides of the debate as unequal invested in -- there is a group that is trying to turn back the clock. and i think the problem is when we see those as two sides of the same coin, the antifa schists.

they are trying to hijack the conversation of who's the victim, and for them it's the white man. >> if you were president trump's speech wire today, what would be the first words out of the president's mouth regarding the situation in charlottesville if you were to advise that? >> it's acknowledging the importance much diversity in this country, the fact that we are stronger together. we do want to come together, and it's going to take people acknowledging the history of oppression that we have. sort of acknowledging that truth is key to the whole thing. >> what do you think he could have done differently they know? he did speak of unity and accompanying condemning hatred,

bigotry, violence. do you think that there's something he could have said to send a more poignant message to these groups? >> it's acknowledging that people have experienced racism and it's not an even playing field. and it's not because we had a black president that it's in the past. you have to acknowledge the experience of those people including the people who are having issues with law firm or job discrimination or housing discrimination, or just on the playground. you have to acknowledge the real pain and trauma of those folks to make a real call for unity. if you don't, it looks like a lot of dog and pony show. >> we appreciate your thoughts. thank you. we heard from president trump. moments ago president obama weighed in. we have that for you right after this.

former president obama now responding to the deadly clashes between white nationalists and counterprotests in virginia. the former president tweeting this following nelson man della quote. no one is born haight another person because of the color of his skin, background, or religion. people must learn to hate. if they can learn to hate they can be taught to love for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. president trump already condemned the violence earlier today. here's part of his remarks. >> we condemn in the strongest

possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides. it's been going on for a long time in our country. not donald trump, not barack obama. it's been going on for a long, long time. >> the response to one of the major events of his presidency. what do you make of the different responses from president trump and former president obama? >> president obama who may not adores nelson man della was trying to touch our hearts, talk about love and loss. i thought donald trump today as president had a blown opportunity. i think he bombed out. i say that because he carries a burden on him. he originated the birther movement against president

obama. he was the leading voice of that kind of hatred. so it's enabled white supremacists and the kkk and neonazis. this was an opportunity to show he doesn't want to traffic in hate. instead, he did a limp weak-wristed comment instead of really going after hate crimes that took place. we are now dealing with a trump that we've had a doubling of racist incidents since donald trump has become president according to southern poverty law. >> do you think that the bar is actually higher for this president in how he responds to an incident like this because of his past and those comments you mentioned? >> exactly. when you run a campaign about the border wall and deportation and mocking muslims and doing a travel ban that was illegal and originally not distanced himself

from david duke because he wanted white votes in the south. it came at a cost and he had an opportunity today to speak in a way that could have impressed people. marco rubio and others feeling unsatisfied with president trump's response. he didn't work to heal us at all. he just sort of seemed to dial it in. >> the republicans who have come out and condemned what the president said, cory gardener, lauren hatch, the list goes on. ronald reagan was endorsed by the kkk back in the '80s. the politics of racial hatred and religious bigotry practiced by the kellyanlan and others ha place in this country. >> i'm glad you brought up the reagan quote. that's how you respond to

something like what we saw in charlottesville. you don't water it down because you don't want to alienate your base. that was feeling people got from donald trump today. he talked about on many sides, on many sides. he said it twice. to equalize it as of it was a food fight between left and right when these were people that went on to a great university, had-torn-lit parades, wreaked havoc there. there are people in critical condition whose names we don't know yet. barack obama, we called him the mourner in chief. right now we haven't felt that kind of passion and int. >> members of his own cabinet calling them losers, pa thettic,

cowards, quitters, in that sense is it surprising he doesn't go over the kkk and nationalists in the same way? >> it's abhorrent, but i don't think it's surprising. he's never wanted to cross swords with the alt-right. they promote this kind of hate speech. it feels this is part of that -- maybe it's 15%, 10% of his base that add here's to a neoconfederate line that celebrates robert e. lee, and he says -- he sees those as white votes. a weak tea, watering things down so as not to make enemies with that hate community. >> important to note the president did not invent white nationalism. the kkk has been around for

decades. do you think he's played a role in emboldening them? >> the word i would use is enabler. he's trooy to say it's okay to into these white heritage spasms. it's okay with a nod and a wink to wave a confederate flag. if he's anything, he's going to denounce everybody, name calling even his own cabinet every day. for some reason vladimir putin and white supremacists get the good treatment from president trump. it's disconcerting and many republicans, the senators, governors, don't like that trump didn't step u. he has a little bit of time perhaps for the morning shows tomorrow or something to put something stronger on the line out there denouncing these white

supremacist hate crime, but we'll see. >> thank you so much, doug, for coming on and providing that perspective and historical context for us. we have news just in as we continue to follow the breaking news story from charlottesville. james alex fields jr., 20 years old is the man arrested for driving into that crowd of people. he was booked into jail this afternoon charged with one count of second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and one count of failure to stop, accident resulting in deathly. he is a white male and being held in the booking area of the facility. no word exactly on his motive. we will take a break and be back in just a moment. ♪

20-year-old james alex fields jr. was booked in the crash that killed one woman and injured several others. earlier today officials held a press conference condemning the violence. >> today was a sad day for your great common we actually in the city of charlottesville. there are three fatalities today in addition to many individuals who've been hurt. let me start off first by thanking all of your law enforcement officials. this could have been a much worse day today. i have a message to all the nazis who came into charlottesville today. our message is plain and simple. go home. you are not wanted in this great commonwealth. this tide of hatred and bigotry that has come down and marched on the lawn of one of the

founders of democracy, it's brought by outsiders and people who belong in the trash hapeap history. this day will not define us. we will define this story by the following days and the week after that and the week after that. atlas sad and regrettable courseness in your politics that we've seen too much of today. our opponents have become our enemies, debate has become intimidation. we are the birthplace of democracy. it's about deliberation, action, progress, working together. be at the end of the day, if you agree with someone, you agree to move forward. these folks don't want that. they do not agree with democracy and they are on the losing side of history. >> in the days and weeks to come, our city will have conversations in community

none of the injuries were due to engagement with law enforcement. 14 people have been treated for injuries resulting from individual engagements. nonpedestrians were treatied for injuries in a three-vehicle crash at the intersection of 4th street and water street here in downtown charlottesville. their injuries range from life threatening to minor. the crash also claimed the life of a 32-year-old female pedestrian at the intersection as she was crossing the street. we are still in the process of notifying her next of kin, so we will not be releasing her information until that takes place as a courtesy to the family. the suspect that left the scene of the crash was located moments later and the male driver is in custody with charges pending. we are currently treating this as a criminal homicide investigation. also i want to extend my appreciation to the many

individuals who witnessed the crash who helped us by providing statements and video evidence. the crash remains under investigation. so where do we go from here? for right now, we're encouraging people to return home. please let our city of charlottesville, our home, start to recover from this. what the world saw today is not the place charlottesville is. we love our city. let us heal. this is not our story. outsiders do not tell our story. we will tell our own story. as is common place, we will be reviewing the events of the day over the next weeks and months. we are committed to providing our residents with a strong, safe city to live in and being partners in our community. thank you. >>, again, at least one person killed in the violence today in
