Fox News host bursts into tears attempting to defend Trump's controversial Charlottesville remarks

"I am so uncomfortable having this conversation," Francis wept. "I know what’s in my heart and I know that I don't think anyone is different, better or worse based on the color of their skin, but I feel like there is nothing any of us can say right now without being judged."

Trump was widely criticized on Tuesday after making claims that "alt-left" perpetrators were also responsible for the violence in Charlottesville.

During his remarks, which were made from the lobby of Trump Tower in New York City, the president said, "
