Trump Denounces White Supremacists 'Racist' Violence


U. S President Donald Trump on Monday explicitly condemned white supremacists and "racist" violence, two days after he faced backlash for what many saw as a tepid response to deadly violence at a white nationalist rally.

"Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans," Trump said at the White House.


In his statement Monday, Trump noted that the Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation into the car attack.


"To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend's racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. Justice will be delivered," the president said.


He said he condemns the "egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence" that "has no place in America."
