The front page of the New York Post chided Trump's comment under the headline, "They weren't all Nazis."

The New York Daily News, meanwhile, ran a headline of "Sympathy for the devils" and reported in its article that Trump blamed "both sides" in a "bizarre Trump Tower tirade."

Trump on Tuesday gave extended remarks on the violence in Charlottesville, where he defended his first response, which was widely criticized for not directly denouncing white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups.

The president said there is "blame on both sides" for what happened at the rally and that counterprotesters on the left bear responsibility. At one point Saturday, a man with alleged ties to white supremacist groups plowed his car into a crowd of peaceful counterprotesters, killing one and injuring at least a dozen others.

His comments caused a firestorm, drawing condemnation from both parties.
