On Saturday, the world saw hate on full display in the quaint and beautiful Virginia city of Charlottesville. White supremacists gathered there for a "Unite the Right" event, and deadly violence and terror ensued.

Then, when the world needed to see moral leadership from the president of the United States, it got cowardice instead.

Donald Trump, from his New Jersey golf course, said, "We're closely following the terrible events unfolding in Charlottesville, Virginia. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides."

Trump's inability to condemn white supremacy for the cancer that it is on our society is downright pathetic. What happened in Charlottesville was an act of domestic terrorism by white supremacists and should be called out as such. It's encouraging to see leaders within the Republican Party, such as Sens. Cory Gardner, Colo.; Marco Rubio, Fla.; Orrin Hatch, Utah; John Mccain, Ariz.; Speaker Paul Ryan and others stepping forward to address and condemn the evil and call it out by name.

The "alt-right" is an extreme movement that has been denounced by many within the conservative circle and the Republican Party – but this hateful fringe has not been condemned by the president. The alt-right was fueled by people close to the president, such as Steve Bannon, who made Breitbart the publication and platform of the movement. Rather than denounce the alt-right, Trump propped up its champion throughout the campaign and then made him his White House chief strategist.

The problem is that Trump has no problem calling out Islamic terrorism or the mainstream media in very specific terms, but seems to struggle when it comes to naming the evil of white supremacy. The alt-right does not represent conservative values and conservatives do not wish to be associated with the bigotry and hatred they spew – they have no room within the conservative movement and no room in the United States.
