President Donald Trump denounced hate groups at the White House on Monday, responding to critics of his response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virgina surrounding an alt-right rally.
“Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans,” Trump said.
The president made his remarks in the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House after meeting with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the FBI Director Chris Wray.
Trump specifically named Heather Heyer, the 32-year-old woman killed during the protests after a reported Nazi sympathizer drove his car into a crowd of counter protesters.
“We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence,” he said.

Did they? One party had a federal court order to hold a parade or sit in or whatever. One party didn’t.
Now, 2 months ago, on May 13, a similar gathering of some maybe 200 folks had the very same intent to demonstrate in the very exact same town. Which they did - and even had their little tiki light march, just like last Saturday night. From what I can tell from youtube, (and there’s not much on youtube about it) they did their thing and then went home. I don’t recall reading about any riots in May. Certainly no videos.
So why should there have been riots in August? What changed the dynamic?
Tough Trump has yet to attack Antifa, even though they have beat his supporters. Maybe if they ruffled Ivanka’s hair, it might upset him.
Aside from the labels affixed to the “organized” and permitted protestors in Charlottesville, what makes their protest violent, racist, evil, etc? Yet, the unpermitted anti-protest group who were there “prepared” for a violent confrontation goes unmentioned and free from ANY condemnation?
“Come on Donald, the lib left radicals and seditionists who were there to protest the whites demonstration are just as guilty. Don’t wimp out on us now.”
Trump talks tough, but when push comes to shove ( she is a good person that suffered enough ) he wimps out and goes to Twitter.
The Left is implying when it tells whites that you can’t have a racial identity or pride in your race, that whites are genetically flawed to be genocidal maniacs. Denying one’s genetics and having any pride in it is a dangerous emotional pressure cooker because it leads to oppression by other racial groups that are allowed to celebrate their race and be more cohesive.
That was a ghastly time.
How is it not happening today again? In reverse. Either way, it’s responding to the worst human urges. Why have we left brotherhood, equality, and kindness behind? Gd please help us all.
LOL, like you were ever on it.
President Trump has done more for conservatives in six months than any president in the last 30 years.
Pence sounds like Brave Brave Sir Robin.
Any fringe nut group (left or right) can legally protest. That's not the issue.

What changed is how Soros and Antifa used Unite the Right as fools so that the left could agitate, riot and create conflict. Perhaps Antifa didn't get the result they wanted on May 13. But they saw a perfect opportunity when it came back around last Saturday afternoon.
And boy did they use it.
I hope you’re right. You know, a topic not being discussed is this: The FBI infiltrates ALL of such groups in this country, including the “White Nationalist” group or whatever their name is. Certainly they have infiltrated BLM and the Antifa movements and know who is funding that mess. Why haven’t they done something about it? If they know and are not acting, then the FBI is complicit with what is going on and is involved in a coup against the elected government.
The name ANTIFA was Never crossed Trump’s lips. Disgusting. They beat his followers, shut down conservative speaks, and the ( cough )Tough Donald does NOTHING.

Sadly, I believe you're right.
This is what I think the media feeding frenzy is really about. All of the New York power brokers and all of their Washington DC Deep State agents, are all working very hard to damage Trump politically so as to get him out of Washington as quickly as possible.
Investigating the white group only, which had a legal permit to march peacefully. It was the Antifa anarchists that started the violence.
HE NEEDS TO SAY FREEDOM OF SPEECH BY PEOPLE WE DON’T AGREE WITH IS WHAT THE 1st AMENDMENT IS ALL ABOUT AND WHEN YOU DON’T AGREE YOU CAN PROTEST BUT NOT ASSAULT PEOPLE.
My goodness, how many of HIS supporters during his campaign rallies were attacked by these same people and nothing is ever said.
They have though and they’ve brutally assaulted people and have been for years. Conveniently leaving out things like hitting people in the head with U locks, pipes, spraying them with bear mace and oh yea that little thing in Dallas where cops were shot and killed.
These two groups bring VIOLENCE wherever they go and provoke people.
Exactly the media and the left will never like him so he came out today cow-towing to criticize from the same people trying to get him out of office. Weird. His original statement was 100 percent accurate.
Yep agreed. POTUS new statement is so George W Bush-like, it’s frightening. Remember how he was always trying to make nice with the left. Then again, he was liberal underneath it all.
The article above says he made this last statement after meeting with Sessions and Wray!!!
