Why is Trump silent re: Charlottesville? It's almost as if h approves of white racist morons and

neo-nazi frat boys. Maybe he'll show up later and lead all sides in a rousing Kumbaya.

edited to correct the town, apologies from a typically provincial Californian.

Our country encourages freedom of speech, but let's communicate w/o hate in our hearts. No good comes from violence. #Charlottesville

Just irks me no end.

I grew up in Charlotte.

Both cities are liberal; horrible this is happening in a city so liberal and with a university as well.

Area too?" Sad but true. I suspect these people are a distinct but loud minority.

Listening to a conservative like Richard Painter makes me think this is an area all of the political spectrum can agree on fighting.

6. Apparently he finally put out a tweet

Personally I thought it sounded unusually coherent so I'm guessing he did not write it. (Sorry I don't know how to copy it while on my phone.)

And MSNBC just said they are verifying a 2nd tweet said to be from him.
