Baxley’s statement was similar in tone to Trump’s. The senator said that he “condemns bigotry, condemns violence” and that slavery was a “curse on this country and absolutely horrible.” But he claimed there are “anarchists in the country who want us to have a battle” and also blamed the “alt-left” for wanting to “attack police” and “advocating killing other people.” (This is not a position of any major leftist organizations.)
