The mother of Heather Heyer, the woman killed in Charlottesville last weekend, said she has no plans to speak to President Trump after he equated protesters like her daughter with the white supremacists who had marched on the city.
After what he said about my child, and its not that I saw somebody elses tweets about him, I saw an actual clip of him at a press conference equating the protesters like Ms. Heyer with the KKK and the white supremacists, Heyers mother, Susan Bro, told Good Morning America on Friday.
You cant wash this one away by shaking my hand and saying Im sorry, Bro said. Im not forgiving for that.

(269,111 posts)Imagine that racist scum had his office try to contact Susan Bro during the funeral service for her daughter. How fugging rude and insensitive is that?

Now he will attack her, watch. He is sure to Tweet something nasty at her because he is trash.

(37,648 posts)I post on some financial forums. There are people out there that just LOVE him...he'll be the country's financial savior. Trump will fix this, Trump will fix that, thank God for Trump - my stock has jumped!, and nonsense like that.
So there are people who support him for the sole reason, IMO, of financial gains, still pushing the "he's a GREAT businessman" meme. They don't seem to care about anything else.

(51,615 posts)from the stock market to unemployment over the past 4 years? BEFORE 45! 44 had a pretty good thing going for a while and I am not a financial expert.
Maybe they are using the fake "economic boom" resulting from 45 as an excuse for supporting a racist who supports murderers.

(37,648 posts)I don't hear anything to indicate they care about social issues. They are focused almost entirely on the stock market and the economy and businesses. There are people like that. That is ALL they care about.
If Nazis set up a concentration camp here and started murdering people, they would wonder how that would affect their stock holdings, and MAYBE any repercussions from the social backlash affecting their stocks, and even whether they own a stock that could benefit from the camp. Like Schindler was....and like Trump is....a profiteer. (Although Schindler redeemed himself big time.)

One less SnoFlake liberal. Mom is as nuts as daughter was. The libbies had no business out there "counter-protesting" a group who had a permit. Taking down statues will not change history. Stupid liberals think they can whitewash history to their distorted way of thinking now. The democrat party has done so much damage to America. Nobody cares at all what Heyer's mommy has to say.
