The white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, resulted in the death of three people and was a disheartening and disappointing regression for our country.
It took three days of public backlash before the president named the KKK, white supremacists, and neo-nazis as responsible. His unconvincing speech starkly contrasted his first remarks that described the issue as having “many sides.”
The only “sides” at play here are the forces of good and basic human decency rallying against bigotry and racism that have no place in this country. The way the president handled this is one of many signs we have seen that he is not loyal to the American people.
