After all, I\u2019m the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebozho.com\/elephant-performed-daring-escape-today-baraboo\/\">Senior Escaped Elephant Correspondent<\/a>. But after the last few days, it\u2019s much harder to find something funny to say.<\/p>\n<p>Between the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., the terrorist incident the day after that resulted in a woman\u2019s death, and the president\u2019s series of shitty responses \u2014 most infuriatingly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2017\/08\/15\/read-the-transcript-of-donald-trumps-jaw-dropping-press-conference.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">yesterday\u2019s calling<\/a> of the Nazis, Klansmen and Pepe the Frog\u2019s Le Dank Meme Stash as \u201cvery fine people\u201d \u2014 I\u2019ve been more disgusted in my country than I have been since&#8230; I don\u2019t know, probably last week.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, I\u2019m pissed off about Donald Trump\u2019s babying of white supremacists who gathered in Charlottesville to protest the tearing down of a Confederate statue. \u201cVery fine people\u201d is not how you would describe Christopher Cantwell after watching \u201cCharlottesville: Race and Terror,\u201d a riveting <em>Vice News Tonight<\/em> episode that aired on HBO on Monday night and is embedded below. It\u2019s a firsthand accounting of the protests and features interviews with several prominent white supremacists, including Cantwell.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 5px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P54sP0Nlngg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 5px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>Self-styled as a proto-fascist shock jock, Cantwell uses much of his screen time drawing battle lines. He rants about \u201clittle black savages.\u201d He shows off his assault rifle(s). He advocates violence against the \u201canimals\u201d who oppose him. Any time Cantwell was on screen, I found myself so overcome with rage that I nearly threw my phone through the TV. He\u2019s a failure of a human being, completely devoid of morals or empathy.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s that type of reaction that makes \u201cCharlottesville: Race and Terror\u201d necessary viewing. White supremacy is evil and uncomfortable, and <em>Vice<\/em> reporter Elle Reeve does the task of painting it as such through her interactions with self-styled revolutionaries like Cantwell, David Duke and Matthew Heimbach. But the piece also includes gripping interviews from Charlottesville residents who never wanted the Nazis there in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCharlottesville: Race and Terror\u201d is unflinching, powerful and absolutely vital. And anyone who\u2019s still hanging onto the notion that there are two sides to all of this needs to check it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Generally, the work I do here is pretty silly and inconsequential.
