President Donald Trump denounced hate groups at the White House on Monday, responding to critics of his response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virgina surrounding an alt-right rally. “Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans,” Trump said.  The president made his remarks in the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House after meeting with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the FBI Director Chris Wray. “Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America,” Trump said. He specifically named Heather Heyer, the 32-year-old woman killed during the protests after a reported Nazi sympathizer allegedly drove his car into a crowd of counter protesters. “Her death fills us with grief and we send her family our thoughts, our prayers, and our love,” Trump said. Trump confirmed that the FBI and the Department of Justice were investigating the car attack, vowing to hold accountable any of the protesters who committed a crime during the violence in Charlottesville on Saturday. “We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of

Vice President Mike Pence not only defended President Donald Trump’s response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, while speaking during a visit to the South American country of Colombia, but he reminded the media that there was violence among the Antifa agitators, who went there to disrupt the “Unite the Right” rally.

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson argued President Trump not only received support from white supremacists, but “invited” and “welcomed” such support. Robinson said, “Donald Trump did not just receive the support of white supremacists. He invited it. He welcomed it. He led the birther movement, which had very, very clear, not just racial overtones, but racial content. He tweeted in 2014 that President Obama was doing such a bad job that we wouldn’t have another black president for decades, which says a lot about how he saw race and how he saw blackness and whiteness. It’s — so, this is not a new Donald Trump. This is who Donald Trump is.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett

When Raheem told me he was writing this book on No Go Zones in the Western world, my first reaction was “Thank goodness someone is doing this job.”

The president of an organization that reaches across racial and cultural lines to bring Americans together around the nation’s foundational principles says he condemns both the “white right group” and the “counter-protesters” who participated in the events in Charlottesville Saturday.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) blamed President Donald Trump for the deadly clash between white supremacist protesters and “anti-fascist” counter-protesters over the planned removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday.

A clash between supporters of President Donald Trump and so-called “anti-fascists” took place Sunday in Seattle, with the later setting an American flag on fire and covering their faces with bandanas, goggles, and masks.

Failed Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean attacked Steve Bannon, Breitbart News, and GOP strategist Brian Darling on an MSNBC panel recently, branding 35 million Breitbart readers as “racist.”

Conflicts with mainstream media and politicians’, including Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe’s, characterization of events surrounding the white nationalist Unite the Right rally emerged quickly over the weekend.

Appearing on a Facebook livestream on Sunday morning, former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci lashed out at Breitbart News and its former executive chairman, fresh from heaping praise on Jared Kushner and his wife Ivanka on ABC News, and despite having lauded Breitbart News just 22 days ago. Rick Klein, who moderated the event, began by asking a question linking Breitbart News and Stephen K. Bannon to “white supremacy”. The ‘Mooch’ said of Breitbart News: “As it relates to Breitbart, or what I call Bannonbart, I think some of the stuff they talk about is very worthwhile, has to do with the middle class movement, the lower middle class movement, that struggle, the economic desperation that’s going on. But the other stuff, the other nasty stuff that’s on that website I think is disgusting”. Scaramucci did not elaborate as to what the “other stuff” and “nasty stuff” was. The narrative is notably similar to the one used by MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mike Brezinski, themselves good friends with the Jared and Ivanka faction which includes Deputy National Security Advisor Dina Powell and economic advisor Gary Cohn. Asked if he believed ‘Bannonbart’ had an influence on President Trump’s thinking, Scaramucci replied: “I
