Above and separate from the first sentence and in no way implies he "responds" to the first line with the second.  The two things happened.  One did not prompt the other.

At this rate we'll get through the piece by next election. 

You didn't answer the question posed Mr interceptor. What does Charlottesville have to do with a 4 year old child asking his father how many people can be his best friend? 

The son asks "How many

The father reflects on Charlottesville and obviously shares his reflections with his son 

Then his answer to his son is:. “Some people hate others because they are different,”

So my original interpretation of the first paragraph is exactly what happened. Son asks an innocent question, father directs it to racism. He should be ashamed as should any bystander trying to give merit to his response.
