President Donald Trump briefly acknowledged the year-anniversary of the violent and deadly Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally in a Saturday morning tweet.
The riots in Charlottesville a year ago resulted in senseless death and division. We must come together as a nation. I condemn all types of racism and acts of violence. Peace to ALL Americans!

Trump drew backlash last year when he blamed “both sides” for the violent white nationalist rally that left a counter-protester dead and dozens of others injured.
Despite Trump being out of town, Washington D.C. is preparing to ramp up security for a Charlottesville rally anniversary event outside the White House Sunday.
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and the city of Charlottesville declared a state of emergency ahead of the one-year anniversary of the rally as well.
except for the ones that aren’t rabid, erm republicans rather.
Fuck you, Mr. President. There’s no condemnation of your beloved alt-right in there, you waffling coward.
Mentally unstable and dangerous lying con man says what?
Sorry, Mr President, but there was division, fostered by you and your party, long before Charlottesville.
Yea sure.
