Michelle demands that the media get it right. She says he wasn't a Nazi or a white supremacist. No. He loved his president and Patriot Prayer The crowd chants "Get It Right." It's deafening "We will fight to keep his good name!"

The crowd chants "USA" and the media scrambles to snap pictures of the maskless crowd

The next speaker does not give her name. She asks everyone to demand peace. She quotes Martin Luther King: "Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that" Look I'm just reporting what's happening ok?

The next speaker, David with Oregonians for Trump, emphasizes the diversity of the crowd He calls on the dishonest media to report this accurately so I will: Yes, there are people of color in the crowd. Yes, it's mostly white

David says they could organize something violent that eclipses the America unrest so far, and that they'd be justified to do that He says they're choosing not to

These messages can be seductive to newcomers because the speakers truly believe what they're saying about the power of love and rejecting hate. You can feel the sincerity But when they attack leftists on the street, they believe they're right about that too

The far right sees no contradiction between words of peace and actions of violence, because they have left truth behind. What they do is right. What others do is wrong. It is truly that simple Someday, God willing, I will go to grad school and write books about this

David urges prayer: for Trump, the government in Washington, and even for the "dishonest media" (a phrase repeated several times throughout this speech)
