Trump called out white supremacists for their role in the deadly events, seeking to counter a backlash against his initial failure to directly hold hate groups accountable. On Monday, he declared racism “evil” and assailed the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis, and other racist organizations for promoting bigotry and violence that led to one death and numerous injuries. Alex Fields Jr., 20, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of Heather Heyer, a paralegal who was protesting against the supremacist groups when she was run down in the street by speeding Dodge Charger. |
