These comments are in keeping with Trump's track record on far-right extremism, including g telling the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by" in 2020; issuing mass pardons to Jan. 6 rioters, even the most violent; and hiring at DOJ a Jan. 6 defendant who urged rioters to "kill" police.
EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country?
TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.
