Graham’s remarks came one day after a vehicle mowed down a crowd of counter-protesters at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., leaving one person dead and multiple others injured.

Graham called the incident “an act of domestic terrorism” and said he is “glad” members of the alt-right do not view him as their friend.

“We need more from our president on this issue,” Graham said of the white nationalists who gathered in Charlottesville over the weekend.

Republican lawmakers on Saturday urged the president to more explicitly condemn the white supremacists after Trump issued a statement denouncing the bigotry, but attributing blame to “many sides.”
