Celebs React with Disgust to Trump Defending Neo-Nazis
People around the world are outraged by President Donald Trump‘s latest comments, in which he seemingly defended the actions of neo-nazis and white supremacists.
During a press conference on Tuesday (August 15), the President of the United States went back to his original stance on the events in Charlottesville, saying that “both sides” are to blame for the deadly violence at the rally.
“You also had some very fine people on both sides,” Trump said. “You had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. The press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people but you also had troublemakers.”
Trump placed blame in the counter-protestors.
“What about the alt left that came charging at, as you say, at the alt right? Do they have any assemblage of guilt?” He said while making up the term “alt-left.” “What about the fact that they came charging with clubs in their hands swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do.”

Every past president that is still alive needs to come forward now and denounce Trump and advocate for him being declared unfit for office.

America's fate is not with the racist madman POTUS, it's with the 300 Republicans in Congress not impeaching him. #DoSomething
