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.

Ain’t that the truth! I read these silly comments and refrain from jumping in as it’s apparent they are doing the usual knee jerk thing. Where have the rational and logical posters gone? Jumping off the Trump train has to get exhausting! They’re on, they’re off and back again, gives me whip lash.
I’m not unhinged. If Trump is going to name groups responsible,
Antifa And BLM deserved to be named too.
Yeah, they only care about winning elections.
I hope you are correct.
Okay, I’ll explain it to you.
If Trump calls out those groups, it will be pouring gasoline on the flames lit by the leftist and deep state subversives.
Their goal is to divide and conquer.
Oh please, keep your explaining to yourself. I’m not going to cower
in a corner because of Antifa and BLM. And Trump should not either.
His first statement was appropriate. The latest was not.
I’d have liked to have seen him condemn Antifa by name and mention the fact that one of their thugs with a rap sheet punched a woman who
ignored his demands that she stop filming them. And also brought up the fact that most of the Leftist thugs were bused in by highly organized agitators.
Totally agree. He should have condemned them by name. He needs to instruct the FBI to interview all sides, not just ANTIFA punks, for what really happened.

Well I mean, their own (or pseudo-own) nuts.
Years of frustrations have built up and it’s quite tangible on FR. When I counsel patience, the retort invariably comes that they’ve waited long enough.
Well no they haven’t. Not till they have waited the wait that entails laying the burden square on God. And as the bible tells us, the government is one of His (limited) instruments. But God can turn the tables in other ways too.
We need to look at the Trump phenomenon as a whole, and beyond Trump (who is a sinner) to the sovereign God (who never sins).
I believe God set Trump up to be as good (but not perfect) as he is. Maybe he yields a bit under extreme pressure. God won’t. I think every demon in North America is charging at Donald Trump right now. Trump has still said enough of what is correct, that if all we have to complain about is the “tone” then maybe we are blessed indeed.
Anyhow, suppose this was full of Antifa and BLM. Before that, it’s full of Soros, who is full of Satan. Let’s see if something Donald sets in motion ends up with a nice package of gotcha on Soros’ doorstep that he can’t dodge. That’s as far as Donald can go on earth. We have to fight Satan by getting on our knees before God at His mercy seat. We can’t just toss Donald Trump over the transom to do it for us.
I think it could happen. God knows our weakness, that we sometimes need to actually watch Him act in the here and now, or we’d lose our faith altogether.
I beg God for signs, for many signs. Let’s beg Him for an entire Hollywood worth of neon signs, if that’s what it takes. He’ll stoop to our doubt, so that we may believe.
... the love of God will be its food, and resolute will be its mood ...
And by the way, we have to get out of our safe spaces here at FR. We complain enough about lefty snowflakes. Well they come in righty versions too, and when they lose their cool and melt, well, that is no longer very "white" (if I can say it) of us. In other song, I generalize the idea of redneck to many races, but it unabashedly started among white people.
Exactly never apologize to the left wing media .
educate them .
this huge mistake has Javanka advice written all over it .
A huge mess .
Lets go after a mentally ill nobody from Kenticky who was off his meds and
freaking out in a race riot .
thats the ticket to appease the left wing media .
wrong .
Sadly true on both accounts .
I fully agree about the last 6 months. Pulling out of Paris Climate scam was strong. No one else would have done it. I was angry because he didnt name names.
Supreme Court pick solid so far too.
I just need time to cool off. Thanks.
Well, his comments are identical to the crap spit out by Ivanka on Sunday to appease both the left wing mefia and her Hamptons crowd .
Check it out.
