Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has weighed in on the weekend's violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, castigating Donald Trump without naming him.
'We can have no tolerance for an ideology of racial hatred. There are no good neo-nazis,' McConnell said in a statement.
The choice of words, while careful, appeared to push back against Trump's claim on Tuesday that some 'very fine people' were among a crowd of white supremacists who rallied in the college town.
McConnell's wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, stood next to Trump on Tuesday as he insisted both sides of the weekend's clash bore some responsibility for the violence that led to one death and nearly two dozen injuries.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich tore into Trump earlier in the morning.
'Pathetic, isn't it just pathetic?' Kasich said kicking off a 'Today' show appearance Wednesday morning.

“The pen is mightier than the sword”
I doubt there would be enough interest in forming a new party to make it viable. Most believe it would play right into their hands by splitting the conservative and semi-conservative vote.
It’s HIGH TIME for President Trump to turn this into a debate on the First Amendment!
The trap has been set.
Now shut it.
Even the ACLU is on his side.
Trump sees the “thought funneling” going on, against traditional conservatives.
There is no tradition of conservative Americans broadly supporting the KKK. The KKK had to remain in hiding. They covered themselves in order to separate their identity from their detestable cruelty against blacks in mostly southern counties.
Update to today.
ANY, and I mean *any* whites who dare to criticize BLM or ANTIFA are being funneled into a label marked KKK, “Alt Right” and White Supremacy.
Conservative thought is being funneled into a box canyon.
You are being silenced.
You can not disagree with any radical black organizations of any stripe.
You can not disagree with their tactics. Lawlessness is called “civil rights”.
You are white and must be marginalized.
TRUMP is well aware of this fact. He is blowing the whistle, raising the trumpet, in a clarion call to wake the hell up, or you are going down to Totalitarian forces.
Should you elect to stay stupid, and you’re well on your way, you will get your wish, and see the UniParty will rather lose the R majorities in order to usher in impeachment.
At that fine point in history, you can kiss your own azz goodbye.
I’m dumbstruck by the media’s reaction to Pres. Trump stating the truth.
Just think about that!
He made them angry, agitated, stressed, and left them weeping in front of the world .. all because he stated the facts and spoke the truth.
And he had to repeat the facts over and over because they didn’t want to accept the truth of what happened .. so they threw a huge tantrum on national TV.
I’m not blind to what they’re attempting, but I’m extremely proud of Pres. Trump and believe he’s handling it well.
“It would have been nice if he had grown up a bit once he got elected. Sorry, I know a lot of fellow freepers seem to really like him, but he’s causing a lot of damage and there’s only so many hits you can take before your lines collapse.”
Well well well.
One of FR’s premier neverTrumpers slithers back with his words of “advice”.
I don’t believe in coincidences and I don’t wear tinfoil. These “incidents” seem to always be quite similar. They are never thoroughly investigated and when the usefulness of the crisis fades,it goes down the memory hole.
Exactly.
The NeverTrumpers didn’t all go away, from FR.
These creepers appear as “concern” trolls, sharing their repellent naivety of world history, just to veil their BUTT HURT over the Cruz loss, I must presume.
How else could you explain preferring political BS and subterfuge, over fighting for our lives and joining the obvious coming battle against Totalitarianism, being ushered in by the UniParty and their supporters around here?
What we’re witnessing is a soft impeachment of Trump—He needs to bail and start his own Party. Thoughts??
Sure. Give the Dems whatever they want on “campaign finance reform”. It’s time for Trump to inflict real pain on the GOPe gravy train.
I’ve been thinking for a few weeks Trump needs to set up an outside the GOP political org. Basically the framework of a third party and run by Don Jr.
Trump needs to give the GOP an implicit threat that his movement will outlast him and if the GOP does not respect their voters they will leave. Right now the GOP thinks they can wait him out and go back to business as usual. Not going to happen.
Pfft - that happened an eternity a ago.
Besides he’s all in for McCains plan - always was.
This is exactly how Soros funded groups took down Ukraine. Even the slogans the Ukranian Nazi’s chanted were the same as the ones these people were chanting, “Blood and Soil”.
This was a false flag by the deep state, not necessarily by the govt. Trump knows it, he hinted at it yesterday, now if he can only get Sessions to do something.
LOL. You sound like a Democrat smearing your opponents as Nazis. LOL.
They were good enough to get the US to the moon.
I don't see anyone asking to tear down NASA, yet.
Trump sees the “thought funneling” going on, against traditional conservatives.
Spot on. Thanks.
“There are no good neo-nazis,’ McConnell said in a statement.”
Hey McConnell, I WATCHED and LISTENED to the speech and what you are implying is a false narrative.
There are no good low-life lying republican senators.
There was a freeper there, can’t recall the name, so yes there was “good people” there but the focus is on the dirt bags
Again, was the person there Friday or Saturday?
John Kasich, most pathetic of the candidates in the GOP primaries, bitterly, bitterly jealous to Trump. Annother useful idiot of the left.
There is no “why?”.
The corporate media is communist inspired and their pile-on against Trump is just as much against truth and justice, because it is but a tactic, for systematically silencing traditional America. It’s a process you’re seeing. It’s not a question. They are answering you, loud and clear.
These are anti-Americans capturing conservative thought and all institutions. Why else would they create the Russia meme to beat Trump and his staff over the head, but to veil their own communist/totalitarian alignments. They are using a lie to conquer truth and reality.
Truth is not their angle. Indoctrination is. Lawlessness is a civil right. Christians, especially white ones, and American traditions are anathema to the aims of the destroyers.
This is spiritual warfare. Nothing is local.
We are being distracted, forced to play on the surface, the political plane, with Whack-a-Mole. This keeps us from serious prayer and repentance.
Mitch McConnell joins John Kasich in Republican attack on Trump...
McConnell - - - from Obama’s B’ch to the poster boy for the girlie man eGOP. It would be next to impossible to find a more useless person in the District of Corruption.
