On Saturday, crowds of anti fascist and anti racist protestors clashed with heavily armed terrorists in the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia.

The terrorists came to Charlottesville under the umbrella group “unite the right,” in an attempt to unify white nationalist groups against the removal of a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee. As the groups exchanged verbal vitriol, pepper spray, and broke into occasional brawls, the governor declared a state of emergency in an attempt to shut down the scene.

No weapons were fired, but before the crowds dispersed a young domestic terrorist surrounded by protestors mowed down over a dozen people in a Dodge Challenger, killing one and injuring nineteen others. 32-year-old Heather Heyer died shortly after being struck by the vehicle.

Heyer’s mother said in an interview, “it was important for her to speak up for people who she felt were not being heard,” and her father echoed the sentiment, saying, “I’m proud of her.”

“She had more courage than I did. She had a stubborn backbone, that if she thought she was right, she would stand there and defy you. But if I understand her, she wanted to do it peacefully, with a fierceness of heart that comes with her conviction.”

Failing to acknowledge the terrorist attack that killed Heyer for several hours while his wife and others tweeted about it, President Trump eventually made a statement on Saturday that condemned “the egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence, on many sides, on many sides.”

Two days after he was met with a booming chorus of bipartisan criticism for his attempt to equate the actions of anti fascist protestors with murderous domestic terrorists with his “on many sides” comment, Trump caved and denounced racism as “evil.”

Noted white nationalist spokesperson Richard Spencer brushed aside Trump’s delayed condemnation as “more Kumbaya nonsense,” saying to reporters, “he sounded like a Sunday school teacher. I just don’t take him seriously … it sounded so hollow and vapid.”

Former KKK leader David Duke, who endorsed Trump last February shortly before super Tuesday, seemed dismayed when Trump called him out by name on Monday. “It appears the First Amendment doesn’t apply to White Americans just like racial discrimination laws don’t protect White Americans,” Duke tweeted.

Not long after issuing his second statement on the attack his attorney general described as meeting “the definition of domestic terrorism,” Trump took to twitter to make it clear he would not allow the media to stop him from continuing to condone violence.

Early Tuesday morning, Trump retweeted the following image of a cartoon person with a CNN logo over their head being run over by a train, captioned “nothing can stop the #TrumpTrain!!” He later undid the retweet, reported the New York Times.

Trump also tweeted, “Made additional remarks on Charlottesville and realize once again that the #Fake News Media will never be satisfied…truly bad people!”

According to the New York Times, “A White House official said early Tuesday that the tweet of the train was posted inadvertently and was deleted as soon as it was noticed.”

What it appears the White House official meant is that the tweet was posted by Trump without being approved, particularly by his new chief of staff general John Kelly, and was deleted as soon as Kelly reminded him why he couldn’t retweet an image of a train running over a reporter three days after one of his supporters ran over a woman with a car.

Last month, Trump retweeted a gif that depicted himself in a pro-wrestling stadium, violently tackling a person with the CNN logo superimposed over their face.

He was met with a bipartisan round of criticism from both elected officials and the media at the time, with many wondering how he could go so far when it comes to inciting violence. Apparently with the bully pulpit pointed at them, journalists had forgotten that Trump has a long history of inciting violence at his campaign rallies.

Last February, candidate Trump remarked, “if you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell … I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise.”

The same month, Trump also said of a protestor who was being escorted out of a rally in Las Vegas, “he’s walking out with big high-fives, smiling, laughing. I’d like to punch him in the face, I’ll tell you.” Less than a month later a protestor being escorted out of another rally was sucker-punched by an attendee.

In April, a Federal judge ruled that three protestors may proceed with their lawsuit against the Trump campaign and two Trump supporters who attacked them, one of whom is a self-described white nationalist.
