Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHave Trump's fellow republicans commented yet on the latest defense of Nazis/white supremacists?
On his blaming the victims? Of the "both sides" sharing the blame for Heather Heyer being murdered? For Deandre Harris being beaten with poles? For the other people injured by the murderer of Heather Heyer?
Any comments yet from the GOP?

Maybe they haven't stopped choking yet?
They do so hate being linked to their racist base so openly.

Considering that he got pushback from a few of them Saturday, I'd say that we may hear a thing or two.

There are two sides to a story. I thought what took place was a horrible moment for the country, but there are two sides to a story, the president said Tuesday, doubling down on the remarks he gave Saturday when he blamed many sides for the riots that erupted in violence.
Other Republicans also decried the president for his remarks.
"We must be clear. White supremacy is repulsive. This bigotry is counter to all this country stands for. There can be no moral ambiguity," House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., said in a tweet.
Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa., wrote on Twitter that the president "must stop the moral equivalency! AGAIN, white supremacists were to blame for the violence."
Great and good American presidents seek to unite not divide. Donald Trumps remarks clearly show he is not one of them, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on Twitter.
Rep. Mark Takano, D-Cali., tweeted: "I did not attend the inauguration because I felt President Trump lacked 'moral legitimacy.' This is exactly what I was talking about."
