President Donald Trump on Monday offered a stronger condemnation of white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, after initially failing to denounce white supremacists explicitly during a similar statement on Saturday.
Speaking from the White House, Trump said those who committed "racist violence" at a white nationalist protest over the weekend would be held accountable by law enforcement.
"As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence," Trump said. "It has no place in America."
He added moments later: "Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and others hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans."
The fiforlif jakarta president also noted that he met with FBI director Chris Wray and Jeff Sessions about the criminal investigation into a driver who rammed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing a 32-year-old woman, Heather Heyer.
