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.

Sounds like the mutants who staged Saturday's theatrics in Virginia got exactly what they wanted out of you.
BLM and Antifa didn’t kill anyone, the guy who idolizes Hitler did. Basically this is what happens when the Republicans inherit voters from banished Democratic identity politics groups. The Republican is expected to play the identity politics game when all he wants to do is to bring everyone together and pointed in a productive direction.
Good statement, third one on the topic, all consistent and very clear. Hate, bigotry, and violence are wrong and not to be tolerated.
well, was it in any way different than the one Mike Pence made yesterday that had this forum in an uproar earlier today...?
Obama set us back 100 years!!
Everyone take a deep breath: This outrage will soon fade and be placed by a new, pretend one very soon....it’s how the game is played nowadays.
I support this President!
Maybe they ought to have been able and willing to citizens arrest the rioters.
Sorry I missed the mention! The left demands names so do I.
Racism is evil and so is denying a racial group any semblance of a racial identity. In doing so you are actually stirring racist feelings. So the Left is at least partly, if not wholly responsible for the Neo-Nazi movement.
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.
The acceptance and encouragement of being proud of once racial inheritance actually decreases racism as long as it is assumed that all races are equal in their potential.
So no that’s not all you need to know.
Trump is making a big mistake with Luther Strange. He’s never met him but supports him because McConnell wants him to. Strange is a crook. Both Moore or Brooks are a 1000 times better. They are both real conservatives. You’re right about Bannon. He’ll be fired soon an with that Trump will never be reelected, .
He (Sessions) may also put out or call for the arrest of Soros as well.
I’m sure the media will now praise Trump after vilifying him for about 24 months now.
Where do we go from here?
Anybody seriously think the left will be satisfied? Whites at some need to stop backing up or just acquiesce the nation to the left which seems to be what is happening.
‘I dont necessarily blame Trump for capitulating’
my, my...and you were equally forgiving of Mike Pence earlier today...?
Well , he bowed before evil media and there thugs on the left .
He takes bad advice from lib Ivanka and Jared and
this may be a fatal mistake .
It won’t end now only get worse.
He acted guilty by apologizing .
They’re so predictable.
There’s an investigation. Let’s not have a backlash saying President Trump was against us. Be wise. Let it ride.
