He added: ‘The country that defeated Hitler’s armies is no place for Nazi flags. The party of Lincoln won’t stand with those who carry the battle flags of the failed Confederacy.’

After his speech, recorded for Attn, he grabbed a Donald Trump bobble head doll and asked: ‘Was it that difficult?’ 

Trump was widely criticized after suggesting there were ‘fine people’ among the neo-Nazis who marched in Virginia before defending confederacy as a ‘beautiful part of America’s history’.
