Here's what Chancellor Merkel actually said:
In response, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has offered to send federal assistance to quell the violence, as local police faced criticism for failing to tamp down the demonstrations and counterdemonstrations.
Merkel also condemned the protests, with her spokesperson saying that “what was seen yesterday in parts of Chemnitz and what was recorded on video has no place in our country.”

FYI - Angela Merkel grew up in the formerly communist East Berlin, and the city of Chemnitz is a formerly communist east German city. I'm sure that Chancellor Merkel has a way better idea what's going on there than Lara Trump does.
