Whereas on the night of Friday, August 11, 2017, a day before a planned White supremacist march was to occur in Charlottesville, Virginia, hundreds of torch-bearing White extremist protesters chanting racist and anti-Semitic slogans gathered on the grounds of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia; Whereas on Saturday, August 12, 2017, ahead of the scheduled start time of such White supremacist march, protesters and counterdemonstrators gathered at Emancipation Park in Charlottesville, Virginia; Whereas the White supremacist march turned violent, culminating in the death of peaceful, counterdemonstrators Heather Heyer and injuries sustained by 19 others after a car driven by a neo-Nazi sympathizer deliberately struck the counterdemonstrators; Whereas two Virginia State Troopers, Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates, perished in a helicopter crash as they were responding to the march; Whereas in response to the events, President Trump said, We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides, on many sides. It’s been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. This has been going on for a long, long time. ; Whereas Members of Congress from both the Republican and the Democratic parties called on the President to make clear that this statement was grossly inadequate as it failed to denounce domestic terrorism perpetrated by the White supremacist, neo-Nazi, and Ku Klux Klan groups in Charlottesville; Whereas White supremacist hate websites praised the President’s incomplete statements, with a member of one such White supremacist group saying, Trump comments were good. He didn’t attack us… Nothing specific against us… Also refused to answer a question about White nationalists supporting him. No condemnation at all. When asked to condemn, he just walked out of the room. Really, really good…
