'A woman was murdered there': CNN fact-checker grills Trump's 'peanut' protest comparison

Another day in the books for Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial, and it ended with the former president speaking to reporters in the corridor talking about how "breathtaking" Thursday was and then tangentially editorializing on some current events — from the price of gas and pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses to SCOTUS and the economy. CNN's Daniel Dale made clear that Trump's memory left out how the clashing of white nationalists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville back in 2017 that spilled out of control from the "Unite the Right" rally at a park that had once been named after Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee led to a self-proclaimed neo-Nazi fatally plowing into 32-year-old paralegal and civil rights activist, Heather Heyer, and injuring 35 others. "Former President Trump said the Charlottesville protests in 2017 were 'a little peanut' compared to what we're seeing now in college campuses pro-Palestinian protesters," he said on "The Lead." "He said hate in Charlottesville paled in comparison to the hate we're seeing — there again, a matter of opinion, but let's remember, there was neo-Nazi and other white Nationalist hate in Charlottesville."
