Politicians Condemn Hate, Violence In Wake Of White Supremacist Rally

As white supremacists descended on Charlottesville, Virginia , on Friday and Saturday in what they called a Unite the Right rally, local and national politicians have spoken out against hate and violence.

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) declared a state of emergency, as violent clashes erupted between white supremacists and anti-fascist protesters.

Late Saturday afternoon, a man drove a car into a crowd , killing a 32-year-old woman who was attending a counter-protest because she wanted to fight injustice. At least 19 other people were injured.

The acts and rhetoric in #Charlottesville over past 24 hours are unacceptable & must stop. A right to speech is not a right to violence.

Governor McAuliffe has declared a state of emergency to aid state response to violence at Alt-Right rally in Charlottesville
Terry McAuliffe (@GovernorVA) August 12, 2017

Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, who won the Virginia Democratic gubernatorial primary over progressive hopeful Tom Perriello in June, released a statement ahead of the rally condemning white supremacists and asking others not to respond with violence.

White supremacists have descended upon Charlottesville again to evoke a reaction as ugly and violent as their beliefs just as they did before, I am urging Virginians to deny them the satisfaction, the statement reads.

GOP gubernatorial nominee Ed Gillespie also denounced the rally.

Nothing patriotic about #Nazis ,the #KKK or #WhiteSupremacists It's the direct opposite of what #America seeks to be. #Charlotesville
Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) August 12, 2017

President Donald Trump addressed the events of the day, but drew criticism for failing to call out white supremacy or racism specifically. He tweeted against hate and violence, but also blamed many sides for the days events.

We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!

We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 12, 2017

But as local and national politicians largely opted to, at least to some degree, denounce the hate and violence seen at the rally, there was one notable exception.

Corey Stewart, a conservative who ran against Ed Gillespie in the Virginias gubernatorial Republican primary, posted live video to Facebook Saturday evening in which he attacked democrats and the media for never condemning violence from what he called the unhinged left. He added that he believed those same people would use the Saturdays events as an excuse to crack down on conservative speech.

Stewarts previously had vocally opposed the removal of a Robert E. Lee monument that was ostensibly the spark for the rally in the first place. The gathering was originally billed as being in opposition to the removal of the monument to the Confederate general.

It drew extreme far-right figures like white nationalist Richard Spencer and former KKK leader David Duke. People who showed up to counter protest the rally included Antifa, a radical anti-fascist group. Though the rally was slated to begin at noon Saturday, demonstrators were already out in force Saturday morning, displaying Confederate flags, Nazi symbols and chanting blood and soil and Fuck you, faggots. There were also heated confrontations Friday night.
