Trump defends comment on Charlottesville

President Trump defended himself, against criticism 💪 that he did not specifically condemn 🚫 Nazi卐 and white supremacist groups following the weekend’s deadly racial unrest in Virginia

Ad at one point questioned ❓ whether the movement to pull down statues of Confederate leaders would escalate to the desecration of George Washington.

In a long, combative exchange 🔊 with reporters 📰 at Trump Tower in Manhattan, the president repeatedly rejected🚫 a torrent of bipartisan criticism for waiting several days before naming the right-wing 卐 groups and placing blame on “many sides” for the violence ⚔ on Saturday that ended with the death of a young woman.

He said that “before I make a statement, I like to know the facts.”

And he criticized “alt-left” 👈 groups that he claimed were “very, very violent” when they sought to confront the nationalist and Nazi 卐 groups that had gathered in Charlottesville, Va., to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee from a park. He said there is “blame on both sides.”
