Mr. Trump defended those gathered in a
Charlottesville trump park to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee. “I’ve
condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups,” he said. “Not all
of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white
supremacists by any stretch.”
The US president was
fiercely criticised for failing to condemn white supremacists in his initial
response to Charlottesville
trump, when he blamed the violence “on many sides”. On Monday, after a chorus
of disapproval, he gave an apparently reluctant statement denouncing
racism as evil. . In the scope of his contentious time in
office, Trump’s reaction to Charlottesville trump registers as an unforgettable moment, though one obscured by subsequent
events. His basic answers on issues involving race haven’t changed all that
much. “The
riots in Charlottesville trump a
year ago resulted in senseless death and division,” the president tweeted. “We
must come together as a nation. I condemn all types of racism and acts of
violence. Peace to ALL Americans!”
