He's about to speak. I would bet he will try to equalize the violence. He won't mention the obvious elements of racism and hatred. He'll do the "all violence is bad" thing. He will have no idea that he is partially responsible for this, and will dismiss any inference that anything he has ever said to encourage violence has helped to motivate this disgusting situation.

He's going to defend his followers and their right to match and condemn the counter protesters.
He wants more of this. Trump is a disgusting fascist Neo Nazi.
