Somewhat Nutty Panel of Trump Supporters vs.Dishonest, Contemptuous Alisyn Camerota Re: Charlottesville And Trump's Comments

You want to understand our current predicament, you could, IMO, do worse than this video. 
   The panel is loopy as hell at points, especially when it comes to their credulity about some of their premises: they trust Facebook conspiracy theories, and one of them at one point asserts that the Nazis are possessed by the devil. Which...actually...when you think about it...would explain a lot...
   But with respect to their reasoning about the central moral and political issues about the event, and Trump's statements...they mostly shred Camerota. She's contemptuous of them, and makes no effort to hide it, lecturing and condescending to them the entire time--and making no effort to be honest or objective. Since she can't resist distorting Trump's comments to make them sound worse than they were, the panel is able to bust her fairly effortlessly.
   They're also right that the media--or, at least CNN and its ilk--has proven that it can't be trusted with respect to such issues. Camerota repeatedly confirms their point by obviously cheating, e.g. when she repeatedly pretends to misunderstand what Trump meant when he said that both sides were violent. 
   At any rate, this really does seem pretty representative of what's currently up.
