As you might expect of a gathering of self-proclaimed “white nationalists,” today’s Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia turned violent. One person was killed and several more were injured after a car drove into a group of people protesting the event, and a state of emergency has been declared by Governor Terry McAuliffe.

Can y’all stop trying to erase racism from the story of the #Charlottesville white supremacists, saying they just “can’t get women…”

Every Congressperson who fails to denounce the supremacists in #Charlottesville & who does not condemn Trump’s silence, is complicit in hate

Let’s be clear. The hatred we’re seeing in Virginia lies at the feet of Donald Trump. Stoked during the campaign,his silence condones this.
