CHRIS WALLACE (HOST): Then there was Hillary Clinton's attack on Trump this week saying that he is taking mainstream -- making mainstream hate movements like the alt-right white nationalist movement. Her campaign even ran a video that showed, and here it is on the screen -- members of the Ku Klux Klan supporting Trump. George, do you think that attack has traction?

GEORGE WILL: I don't think so, and nor should it. There are about 320 million people in this country and a few of them are lunatics and or vicious. And the alt-right is probably both, largely. But that doesn't mean they're taking over one of our great parties. They’re attaching themselves as a barnacle to a ship and they're not defining the ship. We've seen this movie before. In 1964, the John Birch Society had about 100,000 members and it was used to tar the Goldwater campaign. The Birch Society was run by a man named Welch who said that Dwight Eisenhower was an agent of the communist conspiracy. It's not fair to define Donald Trump by David Duke or the Ku Klux Klan any more than it would be fair to define Hillary Clinton by some of her supporters, who I guarantee you believe the United States connived in 9/11. There are nuts on both sides of this.
