Four days after the deadly violence at a white supremacist rally Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia, the citys mayor has yet to receive a call from President Trump, according to a report.
He was supposed to call me on Saturday, Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer told VICE News. I heard word from an aide right when it was happening, and I didnt hear from him. They said, Do you want to talk to him? And I said, Id be happy to.
The White House did not immediately respond to TPMs request for comment.
On Monday, Signer said he is kind of finished talking about the President for not taking a harder stance against hate groups following the attack at a rally where a self-proclaimed white supremacist drove his car into a crowd of counter protestors, leaving three dead and dozens injured. Signer also slammed the President on Sunday for what he called the Trump campaigns intentional courting of white supremacist groups.

He couldn't even bring himself to go down to the memorial and speak (he could have cancelled those meeting), but he could put out on some tweet, that gives that warm fuzzy feeling of caring. He didn't even mention the young woman's name yesterday , what a total insult, what BS
