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.

AMEN!!!
What’s pathetic is that the Nazi sympathizer dude grew up in and was educated in Kentucky and makes his home in Ohio. Are the two politicians going to jail the folks in their states who hate others? Because it sure seems like they tolerate a lot of haters.
Kasich hates Trump.
+1
I beg to differ. The Left lies in wait and plans things for YEARS in advance. The seeds of this incident were planted by Saul Alinsky in 1972. They’ve been game planning it ever since.
Republican Politicians ‘looking for love in all the wrong places’ these days......I will no longer be a Registered Republican should they continue to oppose Trump.....they’ve pretty much already done the deal of showing they’re anything but Republican....rather something else altogether.
This insanity of Republicans and Democrat driven division are going to destroy this nation at the rate they’re going. I’m beginning to think that’s exactly what they want.
If that was wrong to say, the implication is clear: even though a demonstration of this sort is legally permissible, it is morally wrong. Association with anyone of this group is de facto a wrong of the highest order, even under pretense of protest against taking down a statue. Is it not the crime of the century? The fact that former friends hold this view shows what dire straits we are in.
Guilty by a semblance of association.
“Former presidents George H.W. bush and George W. Bush weighed in later in the morning, saying that ‘America must always reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred in all forms.’”
Trump has spent considerable energy DOING JUST THAT. So when you see this avalanche of falsehood, you can know that the Establishment has seized upon this hoax issue as a means to paralyze Trump. The fools can not learn that they have lost out. The Russian collusion hoax must have played out.
And when this has blown over, they will seize upon another hoax.
McConnell can’t find time to complain about BLM.
McConnell can’t find time to complain about AntiFa.
McConnell can’t find time to complain about the insurrection about our country.
But yet another old white guy comes out to declare he don like racism and act like trump said he did.
‘We can have no tolerance for an ideology of racial hatred. There are no good neo-nazis,’
BTW, I assume his first sentence is aimed at BLM and the Black Panthers as well. Or am I wrong? ;-)
This is all media drive.....and whoever controls the media does indeed control the narrative.
The rally didn’t happen, but the night before the march did happen, and they did say things, and what they said was pretty horrible.
I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures of young men carrying torches doing the Nazi salute, chanting “Death to Jews” among other things.
These are not “made-up” pictures, this really happened. It’s a small group, but to the degree we pretend they don’t exist and everything was find about Charlottesville, we get smeared by association with that group.
If we have come so far politically that we can’t actually stand up and say “sorry, but nazi-wannabees doing salutes, carrying torches, and shouting “death to jews” is simply unacceptable”, we deserve whatever we end up getting.
Disgusting filthy liars and backstabbers. They were always in it for themselves, truth be damned.
Whoa! I think that's the senators' argument.
Why are you attributing a statement to President Trump that he never said?
Go back and watch his press conference from start to finish. The point he made was 100% correct. Not everyone who showed up to protest the removal of Robert E. Lee's statue was a "Nazi" or a "Supremist" (whatever that is).
And they certainly weren't the ones who instigated the violence. President Trump pointed out (again, CORRECTLY) that the demonstration in the park by the same people the previous night went off without any violence at all.
Seeing that picture of Mitch McConnelol makes me wonder if he frequents Bohemian Grove and howls like a wolf and does weird ritual things with his buddies like animal sacrifices. Who is the evil looking man next to him?
Yep...fake news. DailyMail is doing this alot lately.
Mitch McConnell couldn’t even deliver on an ObamaCare campaign promise that he’d been parroting for eight years. LOL.
